  • <p>Controller</p><p><strong>Join a Stable, Family-Owned Distribution Leader</strong></p><p>If you’re an experienced accounting leader looking for more than just another Controller job, this could be the opportunity you’ve been waiting for. Our client is a <strong>well-established, family-owned distribution company</strong> with a long track record of success, and an exceptionally stable environment. They’ve built a business people are proud to be part of—one with a strong culture, long employee tenure, and leadership that genuinely values work/life balance. If you’re coming from a mid-size company and want a role where you can make a visible impact without sacrificing your personal life, keep reading. This is a <strong>high-impact Controller opportunity</strong> for a hands-on leader who can oversee the full accounting function, guide a team of 8, and bring the financial insight needed to help leadership make smart decisions. You’ll own the financial statements, KPI reporting, budgeting, forecasting, and HR oversight—while serving as a key business partner in helping the company stay on course and drive continued success.</p><p><strong>Why This Role Stands Out</strong></p><ul><li><strong>Family-owned company with deep roots and a strong reputation</strong></li><li><strong>Financial stability</strong></li><li><strong>Excellent work/life balance</strong>—a place where your career can grow without your job taking over your life</li><li><strong>Strong benefits package</strong></li><li><strong>Positive, down-to-earth culture</strong> with leadership that values people</li><li><strong>Real seat at the table</strong> with the ability to influence decisions and drive results</li><li>Opportunity to step into a role where your voice matters and your contributions will be seen</li></ul><p><strong>What You’ll Be Doing</strong></p><ul><li>Lead, coach, and develop a team of 8 across accounting and related administrative functions</li><li>Oversee all accounting operations, including month-end close, general ledger, AP, AR, payroll, and internal controls</li><li>Prepare and review timely, accurate financial statements</li><li>Deliver KPI reporting and financial analysis that help leadership understand performance and make informed decisions</li><li>Identify trends, gaps, and opportunities, and help lead course corrections as needed</li><li>Partner closely with executive leadership to improve processes, strengthen reporting, and support business performance</li><li>Oversee human resources responsibilities with outside support</li><li>Bring structure, insight, and leadership to a company that values both stability and continuous improvement</li></ul><p><strong>The Ideal Fit</strong></p><p>You’re not just technically strong—you know how to lead. You’ve likely worked in a mid-size company where you’ve had to balance strategy with execution, and you’re at your best when you can roll up your sleeves, build trust, and influence outcomes. You know how to spot issues before they become bigger problems, and you’re confident helping leadership make the right adjustments to keep the business moving in the right direction. Most importantly, you’re looking for a company where you can <strong>make an impact, enjoy the culture, and have a life outside of work.</strong></p><p>If you want a leadership role with <strong>visibility, influence, stability, and balance</strong>, we’d love to connect</p>
