Division Controller
About the Role
We're seeking a sharp, hands-on Controller to own financial reporting and accounting operations at our Medford manufacturing facility. This high-impact role sits at the intersection of finance and operations—you'll be a true business partner to leadership, turning complex financial data into clear decisions while building strong teams and tighter controls.
Responsibilities
- Drive the monthly and period-end close process end-to-end—journal entries, account reconciliations, financial statements, and operating statistical reports—with precision and on deadline.
- Serve as a strategic business partner to Operations and Sales leadership, delivering financial analysis and actionable insights to improve efficiency, support pricing decisions, and advance financial objectives.
- Develop and maintain robust standard cost models, conduct variance analysis, and produce reporting to inform profitability, production decisions, and long-range planning.
- Continuously evaluate and improve financial processes, internal controls, and procedures, with a focus on purchase activity, production usage, manufacturing costs, and inventory management.
- Collaborate on annual budgets, rolling forecasts, and long-range financial plans; prepare insightful analysis to guide resource allocation and track performance against targets.
- Ensure compliance and audit readiness by preparing year-end audit work papers, supporting external auditors, and completing tax returns and regulatory filings on time.
- Monitor and report key operating metrics, oversee monthly physical inventories, and enforce procedural compliance across the operation.
- Lead, mentor, and grow a high-performing accounting team while fostering a collaborative culture.
Requirements
- Bachelor’s degree in Accounting or Finance required; CPA or CMA strongly preferred.
- 5+ years of progressive accounting experience, with meaningful exposure to manufacturing cost accounting.
- Demonstrated strength in financial close processes, product costing, and variance analysis.
- Solid command of internal controls and GAAP.
- Analytical mindset with the ability to translate numbers into business narratives.
- Strong communicator who can engage credibly with both finance and non-finance audiences.
- Experience leading or mentoring accounting staff.
- Proficiency with ERP systems and advanced Excel skills.
- Commitment to continuous improvement and professional development.
Why This Role
This is not a back-office position. You'll have real visibility, influence, and a seat at the table in a stable, growing manufacturing business. You'll inherit a solid foundation with genuine room to build—improving systems, developing talent, and making your mark on the financial operations of a facility that produces tangible results.
