US Controller

CFS, Minneapolis, MN, United States

Duration: Full Time


US Controller – Minnesota – Twin Cities


Salary:175,000 to 190,000 plus 20 to 25% bonus


Relocation Package Available


Step into the top U.S. accounting leadership role for a manufacturing business preparing for its next chapter. This hands-on Controller opportunity offers real influence, operational partnership, and direct exposure to private equity exit readiness.


Why This Opportunity Stands Out:



  • Serve as the #1 U.S. accounting leader with end-to-end ownership and visibility

  • Play a key role in preparing the business for a future private equity exit

  • Partner directly with manufacturing and operations leaders to drive cost visibility and plant performance

  • Lead accounting transformation, process improvements, and system enhancements

  • Hands-on role for leaders who prefer to own the work, not just review it

  • Develop and mentor an accounting team with a clear focus on succession planning

  • Platform role where your decisions will shape how the business scales and operates long term

  • Based in the Twin Cities area — offering a high quality of life, strong professional community, and a cost of living meaningfully lower than most major metros


Key Responsibilities for the US Controller:



  • Own U.S. accounting operations, including general ledger, financial close, and reporting

  • Lead month-end, quarter-end, and year-end close with accuracy and timeliness

  • Oversee accounting across two U.S. manufacturing facilities and corporate functions

  • Direct AP, AR, general accounting, and cost accounting activities

  • Partner with operations to improve manufacturing cost visibility

  • Identify and resolve historical reconciliation issues, process gaps, and control weaknesses


Qualifications for the US Controller:



  • Prior experience as a Controller or senior accounting leader

  • Strong manufacturing and cost accounting background

  • Proven ownership of full general ledger and close processes

  • Multi-plant manufacturing accounting experience
