The Opportunity We are seeking a Corporate Controller to own the global accounting function across our US, Mexico and German entities. This is a hands-on seat. You will run the monthly close, own inventory and manufacturing cost accounting, produce the consolidated financial statements and manage the annual audit. You will work directly with the CFO and have real influence over how a lean finance organization is built.
This role is fully remote in the United States.
What You'll Own - Close and consolidation. Own the monthly and annual close across all entities. Drive a disciplined close calendar, reduce cycle time and eliminate surprises.
- Inventory and cost accounting. Own standard cost development and roll, purchase price variance, labor and overhead absorption, scrap and yield, WIP valuation, physical inventory and cycle count programs, and excess and obsolete reserves. Partner with operations and S&OP to explain margin at the product level.
- Multi-entity reporting. Prepare consolidated financial statements under US GAAP. Own intercompany accounting and elimination, foreign currency translation, and the reconciliation between Mexican NIF and US GAAP. Support transfer pricing documentation and the Mexican statutory audit and Dictamen Fiscal process alongside external advisors.
- Technical accounting. Own all balance sheet reconciliations, revenue recognition under ASC 606, lease accounting under ASC 842, warranty and OEM claim accruals, and technical accounting memos for non-routine transactions.
- Controls and audit. Design and enforce the control environment across three countries. Own the annual financial statement audit and serve as the primary contact for external auditors.
- Investor and lender reporting. Deliver accurate and on-time reporting packages to our investors and lenders. Support the CFO on board materials, covenant reporting and diligence requests.
- Systems and process. Own NetSuite from an accounting standpoint. Improve the chart of accounts, subsidiary structure, item costing setup and reporting. Push manual work out of the close.
- Team. Lead and develop the accounting team in the US and Mexico. Recruit, coach and hold a high bar.
What You'll Bring - Active CPA license. This is a firm requirement.
- Ten or more years of progressive accounting experience, including at least three years as a Controller or Assistant Controller.
