Financial Controller

About the role

Financial Controller – Kanyon Manufacturing (Plymouth, MN & Weyauwega, WI). Full‑time, salaried (exempt) on‑site with regular travel across the platform’s sites. Reports to the Chief Executive Officer (platform).

Kanyon Manufacturing is a growing platform of Midwest manufacturers, including custom metal castings, machining, and thermoplastic injection molding. The finance function is being built from the ground up; the controller will own the close, controls, reporting, and costing across operating companies and new acquisitions.

This is a builder’s role, not a caretaker’s. The controller will establish a clean, consolidated monthly close, implement real internal controls, and deliver accurate, traceable, on‑time financial information for leadership.

Responsibilities

• Own the monthly and quarterly close across operating companies; deliver consolidated financials and a reporting package for leadership.
• Establish and maintain a close calendar, ensuring the close lands on the same days every period.
• Build internal controls and a standardized chart of accounts across entities; keep the books GAAP‑clean and audit‑ready.
• Manage relationships with outside accountants and tax advisors, bringing recurring work in‑house as the function matures.
• Own job‑costing and standard costing for a low‑volume, high‑mix custom manufacturing environment; surface true margin by job, product, and plant.
• Partner with operations on quoting accuracy and the quote‑to‑invoice handoff to ensure timely billing.
• Discipline inventory, work‑in‑process, and vendor accountability.
• Forecast cash, oversee AR/AP and collections discipline, and manage working capital across entities.
• Own intercompany accounting and day‑to‑day banking relationships.
• Support diligence on acquisitions and integrate each new company onto the platform’s reporting, controls, and systems.
• Feed financial numbers into the operating rhythm—scorecards and weekly metrics—to drive fact‑based decision making.

What Success Looks Like

• The close lands on schedule every month and the numbers tie.
• Leadership trusts the reporting because it is accurate and timely.
• Real controls are in place and the books are audit‑ready.
• True job and plant margins are visible, eliminating guesswork.
• Cash is forecasted, collections are disciplined, and working capital improves.
• Each acquisition is integrated cleanly without slipping the close schedule.

Core Values

• Grit — Find a way, embrace the suck, and don’t give up when the path is hard.
• Humbly Confident — Give honest feedback, operate without ego, stay vulnerable, and know your stuff.
• Positive — Bring energy, stay solution‑oriented, and make the best of everything.
• Hungry — Pursue exceptionalism, walk with purpose, and choose discipline over comfort.

Compensation & Benefits

• Salary range: $165,000 – $190,000.
• Eligible for Kanyon Manufacturing’s standard benefits, including health, dental, and vision insurance.
• 401(k) retirement plan with a company match of up to 1.5% of eligible compensation.
• Benefits become effective the first day of the month following 30 days of employment.
