Full Job Description

Controller Role – Opportunity to Lead and Influence
If you’re an experienced accounting professional looking for a role where you can truly make a difference, this Controller opportunity offers the chance to step into a key leadership position with a growing manufacturing company.
This organization generates approximately $20M in revenue and is on an upward trajectory. They’re seeking a hands-on Controller who can help guide the financial side of the business while partnering with leadership to support continued growth and operational improvement.
In this role, you would take ownership of core financial functions, including budgeting and forecasting, while also ensuring accurate and timely payroll, sales, and use tax compliance across Iowa, Nebraska, and Illinois. Beyond the traditional Controller responsibilities, this position calls for someone who can think strategically, jump into areas like AP and AR when needed, and identify ways to improve processes, solve problems, and strengthen day-to-day efficiency.
This is a highly visible role with the opportunity to work closely with operational leaders, including the plant manager, to better understand the business and help drive meaningful improvements.
What makes this opportunity especially compelling is the company culture. The team is close-knit, genuine, and committed to maintaining an employee-focused environment. Leadership values autonomy and wants this person to have the freedom to shape the role, bring ideas forward, and create impact. You would oversee two direct reports in AP and AR and work alongside a team that takes pride in supporting employees in practical, thoughtful ways.
This could be an excellent fit for someone who is organized, proactive, team-oriented, and comfortable in a hands-on manufacturing setting. The environment is straightforward, fast-moving, and full of personality, making it ideal for someone who appreciates authenticity and wants to be part of a business where contributions are noticed.

Highlights of the opportunity include:
Joining a company with growth projections from $20M to $30M over the next three years
Having the autonomy to structure your work and lead with ownership
Working with a leadership team that is supportive, approachable, and people-focused
Becoming part of a positive, engaged team in a business with strong momentum

At least 5 years of accounting experience, including responsibility for financial reporting and close activities.
Demonstrated background in budgeting, forecasting, and analyzing financial statements.
Experience overseeing month-end close in a manufacturing or similarly operational business environment.
Knowledge of multi-state tax compliance, including payroll, sales, and use tax filings.
Ability to manage priorities independently, solve problems proactively, and adapt in a hands-on setting.
Prior experience leading or mentoring accounting team members such as accounts payable and accounts receivable staff.
Strong organizational skills and attention to detail, with the ability to improve processes and maintain accurate records.
Proficiency with accounting systems and related tools, including document scanning or digital recordkeeping practices.
