Job description

Controller – Commercial Print & Direct Mail Operations

Plymouth, MI | Full-Time |

About Us

Allegra Print & Mail / AFB Corporate Operations is a growing commercial printing and direct mail company based in Plymouth, Michigan. We operate a full-service production environment spanning digital and offset print, finishing, and mailing services. We're in an active phase of investment and expansion — including a major equipment platform upgrade and potential acquisition — and we're building the team to match.

The Role

We're looking for a hands-on Controller who is equally comfortable setting financial strategy and rolling up their sleeves to get the work done. This is a working controller position in a lean, high-performing environment — not a supervisory role removed from day-to-day operations. You'll own the accounting function and be a key voice in how the business uses financial data to make decisions.

What You'll Do
  • Own the monthly close process and ensure timely, accurate financial reporting
  • Prepare and present financial statements to ownership and leadership
  • Develop and maintain internal controls, policies, and procedures
  • Lead budgeting, forecasting, and variance analysis
  • Provide financial analysis that goes beyond reporting — identifying trends, opportunities, and risks
  • Support due diligence and financial modeling related to capital investment and potential acquisitions
  • Manage day-to-day accounting operations including AP, AR, payroll, and reconciliations
  • Work closely with ownership on strategic financial decisions
  • Lead cash management and rolling cash flow forecasting to support the company's financial health and growth objectives
  • Coordinate annual audits, tax filings, and external financial reporting while serving as the primary liaison for auditors and tax advisors.
What We're Looking For
  • Bachelor's degree in Accounting or Finance; CPA or CMA preferred
  • 7+ years of progressive accounting experience, including time in a controller or senior accounting role
  • 3+ years leading accounting teams or accounting functions
  • Experience in manufacturing, printing, or operations-oriented businesses a strong plus
  • Comfortable providing leadership and direction to the department
  • Supportive in the development of the accounting function while remaining actively involved in day-to-day operations
  • Ensure compliance with GAAP, internal controls, and financial regulations
  • Analytical mindset — you don't just close the books, you tell the story behind the numbers
  • High integrity, low ego, and a bias toward getting things done
  • Experience with QuickBooks required
Why Join Us

We're a stable, privately held company at an inflection point. The person who takes this role will have direct access to ownership, real influence over how the finance function is built, and a front-row seat to meaningful business growth. Compensation is $110,000–$125,000 depending on experience
