What they need
Operations Controller | Privately Held Distribution Company
Amazing Opportunity - We are seeking an experienced, operationally minded Controller for a successful, growing, multi-location distribution company.
This is not a traditional Controller role focused solely on closing the books and reporting the numbers . We need a finance leader who understands how an inventory-driven business actually operates and can turn financial and operational data into better business decisions.
The Controller will report to the CFO and work closely with the COO as a financial and operational thought partner.
W hat We're Looking For
Strong Controller-level experience within wholesale distribution, manufacturing, or another inventory-intensive business
Deep understanding of inventory accounting, costing, gross margins, rebates, chargebacks, working capital, AR and AP
Experience using financial and operational data to establish KPIs, identify problems, improve performance, and drive accountability
Strong ERP experience , ideally including an implementation, migration, or major optimization, with an understanding of financial workflows, GL mapping, inventory controls, and reporting
Experience supporting multiple branches or operating locations
A hands-on leader who can evaluate existing processes, implement better ones, and drive change across the organization
Ability to partner effectively with operations, purchasing, sales, and executive leadership
Preferred
(Note required) CPA, multi-channel distribution experience, light manufacturing exposure, and/or M&A integration experience are all valuable but not required.
Compensation: Very strong base salary based on experience (based on experience)
Benefits: Medical, Dental, Vision, 401(k), PTO
Location: Staten Island, NY, onsite. Assistance with tolls/commuting expenses is available.
If you are a Controller who wants to do more than report what happened and wants the opportunity to help determine what the business should do next , this is an opportunity worth exploring.
Other offers great for you!
