Division Controller Northern Cincinnati/West Chester, OH Hybrid schedule! Our client is looking for a hands-on Division Controller to lead core accounting and financial reporting activities for a growing, global, multi-site manufacturing organization. This is a true accounting leadership opportunity for someone who enjoys owning the close, maintaining strong controls, developing a team, and partnering with operations. You will report to the VP/Global Controller, and visibility to senior leadership, and the chance to improve processes as the business continues to scale. Why This Opportunity Stands Out Serious growth: The business has doubled in size in just the last three years and is projected to be over $1B over the next four years. A defined career path: Succession planning is part of the conversation from day one, with potential advancement in approximately 18-24 months. Multiple paths forward: Future opportunities could remain within the Cincinnati headquarters or expand into the larger organization, depending on career goals and mobility. Excellent benefits: A competitive benefits package complements the overall compensation offering.
Compensation: Salary up to 155k base DOE + lucrative bonus
Hybrid work schedule: One day/week work from home
What You'll Do:
Own the accounting close and reporting process, overseeing the general ledger, accounts payable, accounts receivable, inventory, accruals, reconciliations, and balance sheet integrity for two divisions/sites.
Lead and develop the accounting team, providing coaching, oversight, and support while maintaining high standards for accuracy and deadlines.
Maintain strong accounting controls and compliance, ensuring adherence to US GAAP, company policies, tax requirements, and reporting standards.
Partner closely with operations and business leaders, bringing strong accounting insight to a growing and increasingly complex organization.
Improve and standardize processes as the organization grows, helping create a stronger, more scalable accounting function.
What We're Looking For:
- Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, or a related field. 8+ years of progressive accounting experience, including accounting leadership responsibility. 5+ years of experience within a multi-site, multi-geography manufacturing environment.
- Manufacturing experience and general understanding of cost accounting, variance analysis is required
- CPA preferred; public accounting or audit experience is also highly valued.
- Strong knowledge of US GAAP, financial reporting, general ledger accounting, controls, and the close process.
- Advanced Excel skills; ERP such as SAP or Oracle, Tableau or Power BI experience or similar are preferred
- A hands-on, collaborative leadership style with the ability to work effectively across accounting, operations, and senior leadership.
- Why Make the Move?
- If you're already happy in your current role, this is the kind of opportunity that may still be worth a conversation.
- Our client is growing, acquiring, investing, and planning for the next generation of leadership. They are looking for someone who can take ownership today and be ready for a bigger seat tomorrow.
- For the right person, this isn't simply another Controller position. It is an opportunity to join a rapidly growing business with $1B in its sights and a succession plan that could create the next career step within 18-24 months.
