Korn Ferry has partnered with a well-established, family-owned company on the East Side for their Accounting Manager/Controller search. Our client has a strong reputation in the industry and built a loyal customer base. Leadership is seeking a true partner who can provide financial guidance, challenge assumptions when appropriate, and help position the company for long-term success.

As the Accounting Manager/Controller you have full financial oversight and responsibility, manage budget/forecasting/cash flow, ensure proper financial reporting, lead a small team, and help guide long-term strategic decisions.

This is a unique opportunity for a hands-on finance leader to partner directly with ownership, and play a critical role in strengthening processes, improving reporting, and enhancing controls.

The ideal candidate will thrive in a small company, hands-on environment and be energized by the opportunity to shape processes rather than simply maintain them.
