Job Description
We are looking for an experienced Controller to lead accounting operations for an organization in Birmingham. This position is ideal for a hands-on finance leader who can guide a growing team while staying closely involved in the daily accounting cycle. The role offers the opportunity to strengthen financial processes, support operational decision-making, and provide steady leadership during a key transition period.
Responsibilities:
- Direct the monthly, quarterly, and year-end close activities to ensure timely and accurate financial reporting.
- Oversee day-to-day accounting operations, maintaining reliable general ledger activity and balance sheet integrity.
- Monitor cash flow performance and help leadership plan for funding needs, working capital, and financial priorities.
- Lead and develop the accounting team, including supervising direct reports and helping build capability within entry-level staff.
- Take an active, detail-oriented role in accounting tasks rather than operating solely as a high-level people manager.
- Evaluate current procedures and implement practical improvements that increase efficiency, consistency, and control across the accounting function.
- Support ongoing accounting system enhancements, including participation in the transition to Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central.
- Partner with executive leadership and advisors to provide financial insight, resolve issues, and support sound business decisions.
- Ensure compliance with internal policies and assist with audit, tax, and reporting-related requirements as needed.
