Controller

Controller – Financial Systems & Operations

📍 Greater Dubuque Area, Iowa | Hybrid Schedule

A well-established global consumer products company is hiring a Controller – Financial Systems & Operations to play a key leadership role during an exciting period of transformation and growth.

This is not a traditional Controller position. You'll help shape the future of the finance organization following a recent ERP implementation, drive process improvements, enhance reporting capabilities, and partner with executive leadership on key business initiatives.

Lead monthly, quarterly, and annual close processes

Oversee financial reporting, consolidations, and intercompany accounting

Manage fixed assets, inventory accounting, treasury, cash flow forecasting, and audit coordination

Improve financial systems, controls, and reporting processes

Partner with leadership to identify profitability improvements, cost savings, and operational efficiencies

Develop and mentor accounting team members while helping build the future structure of the department

What We're Looking For

Progressive accounting and finance leadership experience

Background in manufacturing, distribution, or consumer products environments

Experience with ERP systems, preferably Microsoft Dynamics 365

Strong financial reporting, treasury, inventory, and process improvement expertise

Proven ability to lead teams and influence business decisions beyond the accounting function

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

Visible leadership role with direct exposure to executive leadership and international operations

Opportunity to modernize finance processes and reporting infrastructure

Significant career growth potential within a stable global organization

Strong culture focused on collaboration, continuous improvement, and professional development

Qualifications:

• 7+ years of progressive experience in accounting or finance leadership roles.
• Demonstrated expertise in month-end and year-end close management within a complex business environment.
• Strong background in financial reporting, consolidations, and intercompany accounting.
• Experience overseeing fixed assets, inventory accounting, treasury activity, and cash flow forecasting.
• Prior success driving process improvement and strengthening financial controls and reporting practices.
• Experience in manufacturing, distribution, consumer products, or a similarly operational industry setting.
• Proven ability to lead teams, collaborate cross-functionally, and influence business decisions beyond accounting.
• Familiarity with enterprise finance systems; experience with Microsoft Dynamics 365 is preferred.
