Job Description

We’re looking for a hands-on Controller who goes beyond the books to control margins, optimize inventory, and power smarter decisions across Operations, Transportation, Warehouse, and Purchasing.

This is where finance meets operations—and where your work directly drives profitability, efficiency, and growth.

Shift: Monday-Friday onsite 5 days

Hours: 8AM-5:30PM

Salary $150k-$170k DOE

Your Impact

  • Lead the close process and deliver clear, decision-ready financials
  • Turn data into insight: margins, shrink, spoilage, route profitability
  • Own inventory accuracy & cost control (FIFO, landed cost, rebates)
  • Analyze operational performance (cost per route, labor, productivity)
  • Keep cash moving: AR, AP, forecasting, banking
  • Ensure strong controls, compliance, and audit readiness
  • Drive budgeting, forecasting, and KPI development
  • Lead and elevate a high-performing finance team

What You Bring

  • 7–10+ years of accounting experience (distribution/logistics a strong plus)
  • Strong inventory and gross margin mindset
  • ERP experience (SAP or similar) + advanced Excel
  • Ability to thrive in fast-paced, high-volume environments
  • Leadership skills with an operational, hands-on approach

The Environment

Fast-moving. High impact. Real-time decisions.

Full visibility across the operation.

The Bottom Line

You won’t just report numbers, you’ll shape the business behind them

Ready to step into a role where finance truly drives the operation? Apply now.
