Finance Controller
for section headings (e.g., About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). We must not repeat job title. We need to include sections only if posting has real specific content. So we can have sections: Responsibilities (from Duties & Responsibilities), Requirements (maybe combine Qualifications & Skills), Preferred (maybe as part of Requirements? but we could have a separate "Preferred Qualifications" but not required; we can include as part of Requirements). Also Supervisory Responsibilities could be part of Responsibilities or separate. We need to avoid filler like "commensurate with experience". There's no Pay, Benefits, Schedule. So we omit those.
We need to use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and
for prose.
We need to preserve all substantive information, not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to extract bullet points from the paragraphs.
Let's parse:
Job Overview: "The Controller is responsible for all accounting functions including Accounts Receivable, Accounts Payable, Cost Accounting, Fixed Assets, General Ledger, Payroll and Cash Management for KCR and KCD." That's prose.
Duties & Responsibilities: It's a long sentence with many items separated by semicolons and periods. We need to break into list items.
Let's extract each duty:
- Drive timely, accurate and complete submission of all financial data including annual budgeting of income statement and balance sheet, quarterly forecasting and monthly actual financials;
- understanding and explaining variances in actual performance to budgets and forecast to all levels of Management as well as advising on actions to achieve improved results.
- Work with Plant Management teams to monitor and control expenses, identify areas for improvement and implement corrective actions as required.
- Track, validate and report cost savings and value creation projects to drive continuous cost improvements.
- Business partner with Plant Operations teams to ensure transparency with key business managers in a continuously changing business environment.
- Work closely with Operations on product costing valuations ensuring they have the necessary information to make the appropriate decision to ensure successful growth.
- Responsible for monitoring and controlling Working Capital as well as identifying and implementing initiatives for improvement.
- Maintain a control environment which functions with no surprises. Ensure timely and accurate completion of account reconciliations.
- Manage all Financial and Sox audits performed by internal and external auditors as well as Government Agencies.
- Ensure compliance with all Company, Accounting and Government Standards, Policies and Regulations.
- Responsible for various Tax reporting.
- Manage professionals engaged in Financial/Accounting activities at the New Jersey and Dominican Republic locations.
- Travel required may be required (Conducts other duties as needed.
We need to keep all details.
Now Requirements Qualifications & Skills: "Bachelor’s degree in Accounting or Finance. Five to eight years’ experience in a senior accounting or financial analyst capacity and must have a demonstrated history of performing the responsibilities listed below. All applicants must be eligible to work in the US without restriction to ITAR documentation and materials. Must be a US citizen, legal permanent resident, refugee, or asylee."
We can list as bullet points.
Preferred: "A strong background in Cost Accounting in a manufacturing environment with two years of experience as a Plant Controller. CPA, CMA and/or MBA as well as Oracle experience."
Supervisory Responsibilities: "The Finance Manager / Controller manages a small local finance staff."
We could include as a bullet under Responsibilities or separate section "Supervisory Responsibilities". Since we have a heading for Responsibilities, we could include supervisory as part of that. But we have a separate heading "Supervisory Responsibilities" maybe we can include as its own section if we want. The instruction: Use
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It gives examples but not limited to those. We can use any meaningful heading. However we should prefer few substantive sections over many thin ones. So maybe combine Supervisory Responsibilities into Responsibilities.
Thus sections: Responsibilities, Requirements (including Qualifications & Skills and Preferred). Possibly also an "Overview" section? The Job Overview could be a short prose under a heading like "About the role". But the instruction says do NOT repeat the job title as a heading (the page already shows it) and do NOT put Job ID etc. It didn't forbid an "About the role" heading. It gave examples: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. So we could include an "About the role" section with the Job Overview paragraph.
Thus we will have:
About the role
The Controller is responsible for all accounting functions including Accounts Receivable, Accounts Payable, Cost Accounting, Fixed Assets, General Ledger, Payroll and Cash Management for KCR and KCD.
Responsibilities
- Drive timely, accurate and complete submission of all financial data including annual budgeting of income statement and balance sheet, quarterly forecasting and monthly actual financials; understanding and explaining variances in actual performance to budgets and forecast to all levels of Management as well as advising on actions to achieve improved results.
- Work with Plant Management teams to monitor and control expenses, identify areas for improvement and implement corrective actions as required.
- Track, validate and report cost savings and value creation projects to drive continuous cost improvements.
- Business partner with Plant Operations teams to ensure transparency with key business managers in a continuously changing business environment.
- Work closely with Operations on product costing valuations ensuring they have the necessary information to make the appropriate decision to ensure successful growth.
- Responsible for monitoring and controlling Working Capital as well as identifying and implementing initiatives for improvement.
- Maintain a control environment which functions with no surprises. Ensure timely and accurate completion of account reconciliations.
- Manage all Financial and Sox audits performed by internal and external auditors as well as Government Agencies.
- Ensure compliance with all Company, Accounting and Government Standards, Policies and Regulations.
- Responsible for various Tax reporting.
- Manage professionals engaged in Financial/Accounting activities at the New Jersey and Dominican Republic locations.
- Travel required may be required (Conducts other duties as needed.)
But note the first bullet includes two sentences combined; maybe we should split? The instruction: Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. It didn't say each duty must be separate item, but we can split for clarity. However we must preserve all substantive information; splitting is fine as long as we don't lose info. Let's split into separate items for each distinct duty.
Let's list:
1. Drive timely, accurate and complete submission of all financial data including annual budgeting of income statement and balance sheet, quarterly forecasting and monthly actual financials.
2. Understanding and explaining variances in actual performance to budgets and forecast to all levels of Management as well as advising on actions to achieve improved results.
3. Work with Plant Management teams to monitor and control expenses, identify areas for improvement and implement corrective actions as required.
4. Track, validate and report cost savings and value creation projects to drive continuous cost improvements.
5. Business partner with Plant Operations teams to ensure transparency with key business managers in a continuously changing business environment.
6. Work closely with Operations on product costing valuations ensuring they have the necessary information to make the appropriate decision to ensure successful growth.
7. Responsible for monitoring and controlling Working Capital as well as identifying and implementing initiatives for improvement.
8. Maintain a control environment which functions with no surprises. Ensure timely and accurate completion of account reconciliations.
9. Manage all Financial and Sox audits performed by internal and external auditors as well as Government Agencies.
10. Ensure compliance with all Company, Accounting and Government Standards, Policies and Regulations.
11. Responsible for various Tax reporting.
12. Manage professionals engaged in Financial/Accounting activities at the New Jersey and Dominican Republic locations.
13. Travel required may be required (Conducts other duties as needed).
Now Requirements section: Could have sub-sections: Requirements and Preferred? But we can combine into one Requirements section with bullet points, maybe separate "Preferred Qualifications". However we want few sections. Could have "Requirements" and "Preferred Qualifications". Both are substantive. Let's do two sections: Requirements and Preferred Qualifications.
Requirements:
- Bachelor’s degree in Accounting or Finance.
- Five to eight years’ experience in a senior accounting or financial analyst capacity and must have a demonstrated history of performing the responsibilities listed below.
- All applicants must be eligible to work in the US without restriction to ITAR documentation and materials.
- Must be a US citizen, legal permanent resident, refugee, or asylee.
Preferred Qualifications:
- A strong background in Cost Accounting in a manufacturing environment with two years of experience as a Plant Controller.
- CPA, CMA and/or MBA as well as Oracle experience.
Supervisory Responsibilities: Could be included under Responsibilities as a bullet: "The Finance Manager / Controller manages a small local finance staff." We'll add that as a responsibility bullet.
Thus final HTML:
