Interim Controller

We are seeking an experienced Interim Controller to support a small manufacturing organization during a period of transition. This individual will oversee the day-to-day accounting and financial operations while maintaining accurate reporting, strong internal controls, and reliable financial processes.

The ideal candidate is a hands-on accounting leader who is comfortable working in a smaller-company environment where responsibilities may span both strategic oversight and transactional accounting. Manufacturing accounting experience and SAP experience are highly preferred.

Key Responsibilities

• Oversee day-to-day accounting operations, including general ledger, accounts payable, accounts receivable, and account reconciliations.

• Lead monthly and year-end close processes and ensure financial statements are completed accurately and timely.

• Prepare and review financial reports, balance sheets, income statements, and supporting schedules.

• Manage manufacturing accounting activities, including inventory, cost accounting, standard costs, variances, and COGS.

• Maintain and strengthen internal controls, accounting procedures, and financial processes.

• Monitor cash flow, expenses, working capital, and overall financial performance.

• Assist with budgeting, forecasting, and financial analysis.

• Utilize SAP for accounting, reporting, transaction review, and financial data management.

• Partner with operations and company leadership to provide insight into costs, margins, inventory, and business performance.

• Support audit preparation and respond to requests for financial documentation.

• Identify opportunities to improve accounting processes, reporting accuracy, and overall efficiency.

• Provide guidance and oversight to accounting staff while remaining willing to step into the details when needed.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Accounting, Finance, or related field preferred.

• Previous Controller, Assistant Controller, Accounting Manager, or Senior Accounting leadership experience.

• Strong manufacturing accounting background.

• Experience with inventory, cost accounting, COGS, and variance analysis.

• Hands-on experience with SAP strongly preferred.

• Strong knowledge of GAAP and financial reporting.

• Experience managing month-end close and balance sheet reconciliations.

• Comfortable working within a small, hands-on company environment.

• Strong Excel and financial analysis skills.

• Ability to quickly assess accounting processes and provide stability during an interim assignment.

• Strong communication, organization, and problem-solving skills.

Ideal Candidate

The ideal candidate is someone who can step in quickly, take ownership of the accounting function, and operate independently without needing a large corporate accounting infrastructure. They should be equally comfortable reviewing financial statements with leadership and getting into the details of reconciliations, inventory, costs, and SAP transactions.
