The Opportunity


We're seeking a senior, hands-on Assistant Controller / Sr Accountant to lead our finance function alongside our existing Accountant. This is a unique role that combines direct operational work with senior influence — you'll share day-to-day accounting duties while owning financial reporting, tax coordination, intercompany operations, and strategic advisory for management and our foreign parent company. If you thrive in a collaborative environment where you can execute detailed work while holding a genuine seat at the leadership table, this role is for you.

  • Oversee intercompany accounting and revenue recognition for multi-period, plant-scale projects


Financial Planning & Analysis


  • Lead annual budgeting, rolling forecasts, and active cash flow planning
  • Conduct segment/product-line margin analysis and provide data-driven pricing support to sales
  • Deliver clear variance analysis detailing the root drivers behind financial performance


Treasury, Tax & Risk Management


  • Oversee banking relationships, liquidity, and daily cash management
  • Coordinate federal, state, and sales/use tax filings alongside external advisors
  • Manage corporate insurance programs (renewals, coverage evaluations, claims) and work with outside counsel on commercial contracts
  • Ensure proper cost accounting for imports, tariffs, and customs in partnership with operations


Controls, Systems & Leadership


  • Maintain lean internal controls, documented processes, and clear separation of duties
  • Serve as the functional owner and driver of continuous improvement for our ERP system
  • Partner closely with the Accountant, providing prioritization, senior guidance, and support during high-volume periods
  • Act as the primary financial voice for North American operations to external advisors, banks, auditors, and global parent leadership


Qualifications & Skills


Education & Experience: Bachelor's degree in Accounting or Finance required (CPA or MBA preferred). 7+ years of progressive accounting experience, including at least 3 years as a Sr Accountant, Assistant Controller, Controller or equivalent.


Industry Background: Demonstrated background in manufacturing, capital equipment, industrial distribution, or construction. Comprehensive inventory and cost accounting experience is required.


Technical Skills: Strong capability with ERP systems and advanced Excel. Knowledge of project/percentage-of-completion accounting and intercompany transactions with a foreign parent company is highly preferred.


Mindset & Communication: Comfortable working hands-on in a lean team environment. Confident communicator capable of challenging decisions, articulating financial concepts to non-finance partners, and holding firm positions with senior stakeholders.
