We are looking for a Controller to lead accounting operations and build reliable financial reporting for a growing logistics business in Byron Center, Michigan. This role is responsible for creating accurate, timely insight across multiple entities while reducing manual work through stronger processes and better financial data flow. The ideal candidate combines deep accounting expertise with a systems-oriented approach and can partner effectively with technical teams to improve how operational transactions are captured and reported. You will play a key role in giving leadership a consistent, trustworthy view of business performance. Responsibilities: • Direct end-to-end accounting activities for multiple entities, including receivables, payables, revenue recognition, accruals, intercompany activity, and consolidated results. • Establish and manage a structured month-end close process that is documented, repeatable, and continuously improved for greater speed and accuracy. • Maintain compliance with applicable accounting standards and coordinate with external advisors on reviews, tax matters, and technical accounting questions. • Produce financial reporting by legal entity and business unit, including profit and loss statements, margin reporting, and logistics-focused operating metrics. • Define finance data requirements for engineering and systems partners so information from operational platforms, banking tools, and payment systems flows accurately into the general ledger. • Strengthen internal controls and reconciliation procedures to identify discrepancies quickly within a high-volume transaction environment. • Provide clear visibility into cash activity and liquidity across the organization’s entities. • Partner with leadership to deliver dependable reporting that supports decision-making on a consistent reporting cadence.

• 7+ years of progressive accounting experience with direct ownership of the month-end close process. • Strong command of accrual-based accounting and GAAP, with the ability to independently assess and record complex transactions. • Experience supporting multi-entity organizations, including intercompany accounting, eliminations, and consolidated financial reporting. • Advanced Excel skills required; experience with SQL or business intelligence tools such as Power BI, Tableau, or Looker is highly valued. • Demonstrated success translating accounting and reporting needs into clear requirements for engineers, system integrators, or technical teams. • Process-driven mindset with the ability to improve workflows and build scalable accounting operations in a fast-paced environment. • Background in a high-transaction-volume industry such as logistics, brokerage, payments, distribution, or a similar operating model. • CPA designation preferred but not required.
