Controller

Controller

Beavercreek, OH
Full-time | Onsite
Salary: $120,000–$145,000

A well‑established manufacturing company is seeking a hands‑on, forward‑thinking Controller to lead all financial operations for its Dayton location. This role offers full ownership of financials, oversight of the accounting team, and responsibility for accurate, timely reporting. It’s an excellent opportunity for an experienced accounting leader who thrives in a fast‑paced production environment and enjoys improving processes, partnering with operations, and driving financial performance.

Why This Role Stands Out
You’ll step into a leadership position where your expertise directly influences financial operations, profitability, and strategic decision‑making. This is a highly visible role with the autonomy to strengthen processes, elevate reporting, and guide a team. For someone who enjoys both strategic oversight and hands‑on accounting work, this position offers a meaningful opportunity to make an impact.
