This is a unique opportunity for a hands-on Controller who enjoys wearing multiple hats and being deeply embedded in the day-to-day operations of a business.

• Lead and support special projects, including ERP system upgrades and system/process optimization
• Ensure compliance with relevant accounting standards and regulatory requirements

Who You Are

• A flexible, adaptable professional who is comfortable shifting between strategic and hands-on work
• A self-starter who thrives in a sole contributor role and enjoys taking ownership
• Strong communicator with the ability to partner effectively with non-finance stakeholders
• Process-minded with a continuous improvement mindset
• Curious, engaged, and eager to understand the full business beyond the numbers

Qualifications

• CPA designation (or equivalent) preferred
• Experience in a manufacturing or product-based environment is highly desirable
