Controller
We are a Leading Food Manufacturer located in the NY State Capital Region. Our products are available nationwide through numerous retailers, with a growing presence across the country. As we continue to expand, we are looking to hire a hands-on Controller to lead our accounting function. You'll own the monthly close, oversee our daily bookkeeping, keep our cost and inventory numbers sharp, and work directly with ownership and plant leadership to drive profitability.

- Own monthly/annual close, reconciliations, and financial statements
- Manage standard costing, variance analysis, and inventory accounting
- Build budgets and forecasts; track performance vs. plan
- Oversee payroll, AP/AR, and cash management
- Manage banking relationships and coordinate with our outside CPA firm
- Supervise a small bookkeeping (1-3 people)
- Partner with operations on cost control and capital decisions
What we're looking for:
- Bachelor's in Accounting or Finance
- 5-8+ years accounting experience, ideally in manufacturing
- Comfortable with standard costing and inventory valuation
- ERP/accounting software experience (Sage, Intacct preferred).
- CPA/CMA a plus, not required
- Someone who's happy rolling up their sleeves in a smaller company
Compensation: $95,000-$115,000 base, plus performance bonus potential. [Benefits: health, Simple IRA with 3% match, PTO, etc.
