This position will need to be self-motivated with extensive US GAAP knowledge, process implementation and internal controls experience. This is a newly created position with the organization, and the Company's strategy (and this position) requires a change leader who is comfortable with being part of a team driving positive change and process improvement.

  • Review and updated Labor and Overhead rates
  • Review and record variance recognition
  • Review and ensure appropriate inventory cycle counts and physical inventories
  • Review procedures performed to ensure proper revenue and cost recognition across facilities: matching principle, proper cut-off, no bill & holds, etc.
  • Ensure timely month-end close process and maintain open lines of communication with Controllers and Finance Directors with status updates

About the right person
  • Integrity Track record of strong personal and professional integrity; committed to continue building a sustainable, profitable business while meeting the highest ethical standards.

  • Experience working for a public company with an effective SOX environment preferred
  • Experience with private equity-backed companies preferred
  • Experience in manufacturing, distribution, or supply chain, with manufacturing experience required

  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills with the ability to communicate across all levels of the organization
