Job description
Controller | Senior Manufacturing Finance Leader
Rochester Hills, MI
$145,000 – $165,000 Base

Our client is a rapidly growing defense manufacturer supporting major prime contractors and OEMs.

Significant contract awards and continued expansion have created the need for a true financial leader to support the next phase of the company's evolution.

This is not a maintenance Controller role. It is a hands-on, working Controller position with executive visibility and strategic influence.

The opportunity blends hands-on technical accounting depth with operational finance leadership and executive partnership. It is ideal for a working Controller who wants to influence strategy while remaining close to the numbers.


This role requires someone who is nimble, adaptable, and comfortable operating in a business with constantly evolving reporting requirements and growth-driven complexity.

The Role
Reporting directly to the President, the Financial Controller will serve as the senior financial leader for the U.S. entity.

In a lean accounting environment, this leader will own day-to-day accounting while also serving as a key advisor to department heads and the executive team.

Leading all accounting operations (GL, AP/AR, payroll oversight, inventory & cost accounting)
Driving monthly, quarterly, and annual close processes
Managing multi-entity and international reporting requirements
Delivering financial results to the global parent organization
Leading budgeting, forecasting, and monthly variance analysis
Coaching department leaders on financial performance and interpretation of results
Strengthening controls, systems, and reporting processes
Ensuring compliance within a regulated defense manufacturing environment

Ideal Background
7+ years of progressive finance/accounting leadership (Controller / Finance Manager)
Manufacturing accounting experience required
Experience in international reporting environments or complex financial reporting
Strong U.S. GAAP knowledge
Advanced Finance ERP and Excel proficiency
Defense, aerospace, or government contracting experience strongly preferred
CPA preferred, not required


If you meet these qualifications and are ready to take on a highly visible leadership role within a growing organization, we encourage you to reach out as soon as possible.

Confidential conversations are welcome.
