Role Overview

As the Controller, you'll lead the Accounting function for our rapidly growing manufacturing and import business. You will own the month‑end close, financial reporting, and internal controls, managing a small but growing team and solving the “holes” that fast growth creates.

  • Prepare monthly financial statements and management reporting for the CFO

  • Maintain and enhance internal controls, ensuring clean audit readiness

  • Manage payroll (via ADP), reconciliations, and general ledger integrity

  • Help identify process gaps; proactively suggest and implement operational improvements

  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams to support inventory accounting and importing operations

  • Be a hands-on problem‑solver who elevates systems and team capabilities

Required Skills & Qualifications

  • Proficiency in Excel and ERP/accounting systems (NetSuite, QuickBooks, or similar)

  • Experience with payroll systems (especially ADP)

  • Strong leadership skills and a growth‑oriented, problem-solving mindset

  • Self-motivated, flexible, and eager to contribute beyond “9–5”

  • Experience identifying and closing operational/accounting gaps in fast-growing environments

Preferred

  • Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, or related field (preferred but not mandatory; compensation may adjust if degree is not held)

  • CPA or other relevant accounting certification (nice to have)

  • Background in manufacturing, inventory, importing, or related industries preferred

Compensation: $120,000-$150,000 total compensation DOE plus benefits
