Job description
Opportunity Overview
A well-established, PE-backed manufacturer of specialty consumer products, serving customers nationwide, is looking for its next Corporate Controller. This is a senior finance leadership seat inside an organization that has grown steadily through acquisition and continues to have active private equity sponsorship behind its next phase of growth.
That CFO is now building out a leadership bench and wants a Controller who can own the accounting and treasury function end to end, not just execute against it. A significant portion of the accounting organization sits in nearshore, so this is a role with real operational reach, cross-border team leadership, and regular in-person time with the international team.
What You’ll Be Responsible For
Close, Reporting & Controls
Own the monthly, quarterly, and annual close across multiple business units and ERP systems
Ensure clean, timely consolidation of financials for management and board-level reporting
Build and maintain strong GL discipline, account reconciliation practices, and internal controls
Treasury & Cash Management
Direct cash management and liquidity planning across U.S. and overseas operations
Manage banking relationships and cash forecasting
Optimize working capital through disciplined oversight of AP, AR, and inventory-related cash flow
Audit, Compliance & Tax
Serve as the primary point of contact for external auditors across multiple jurisdictions
Ensure compliance with GAAP and applicable local accounting and tax standards
Oversee corporate, payroll, and multi-state tax compliance in partnership with outside advisors
Systems & Process
Lead accounting integration across multiple ERP platforms
Drive process improvement in AP, AR, and reporting automation
Partner with IT and operations to strengthen data governance and reporting reliability
Leadership
Lead a cross-border accounting and treasury team, including a substantial team based in Mexico
Sit on the senior leadership team, with visibility into strategy across Accounting, FP&A, Treasury, and Tax
Act as a key finance partner to operations, manufacturing, and supply chain leadership
What Makes This Opportunity Different
This is a partner-level seat, not a support role. The CFO was recently promoted and is explicitly looking for someone to help build and run the function alongside him, with a real voice in how the department is shaped going forward.
The company is stable and has grown through acquisition, with a private equity sponsor that continues to invest behind that growth. That combination gives the role both financial footing and a genuine growth story to be part of.
The scope is broader than a typical domestic Controller role. Leading a team based in Mexico, working cross-border, and regularly traveling to that operation gives this position a level of international exposure that’s hard to find in a lower-middle-market company.
What We’re Looking For
NON-NEGOTIABLE
Active CPA license required (U.S.CPA License)
8 to 10+ years of progressive accounting and finance experience, including senior leadership responsibility
Background in a manufacturing environment
Fluent in English and Spanish
Comfortable with regular international travel (roughly 15% to 20%) to support operations
DESIRED
Prior experience overseeing an offshore or international accounting team
Experience partnering with external auditors and reporting into a board or ownership group
