POSITION SUMMARY
JAC Metal is seeking a dependable and experienced Controller to lead day-to-day accounting operations, strengthen financial reporting, and support intentional company growth. A major requirement for this position is direct experience working with a multi-state company, including payroll, benefits administration, unemployment taxes, audits, and related compliance requirements across multiple states. This role is ideal for someone who can lead the accounting function while still staying close to the details, bringing structure, accuracy, and accountability without overcomplicating practical daily workflows.
The Controller will report to the CFO and oversee the Bookkeeper and Accounts Payable Specialist. This position will help improve accounting processes, support billing and payroll-related records, review financial information for accuracy, and provide leadership with reliable reporting that supports wise business decisions. Because JAC Metal is a growing small-to-mid-sized business, the right person must be willing to lead, review, organize, teach, and jump into the details when needed.
