Job Description
We are looking for an experienced Assistant Controller to join an engineering organization on a contract assignment. This position will provide hands-on accounting leadership during a pivotal period, helping bring consistency and control to financial close activities across corporate and site operations. The role is well suited for someone who is detail oriented and has a strong manufacturing accounting background, with the ability to coordinate complex reporting cycles, strengthen accountability, and support accurate, timely financial results.
Responsibilities:
- Direct the monthly close cycle across corporate accounting, shared services, and multiple operating locations to keep reporting on schedule and accurate.
- Establish and manage a structured close timeline that defines responsibilities, key due dates, interdependencies, and escalation paths for critical tasks.
- Oversee consolidation activities, including intercompany accounting, journal entries, accruals, account reconciliations, and preparation of reporting deliverables.
- Partner with site finance teams, accounting leaders, and cross-functional stakeholders to gather close inputs and maintain alignment throughout the reporting process.
- Monitor the close process for risks, delays, and unresolved issues, and take early action to prevent disruption to reporting deadlines.
- Create clear documentation for recurring close procedures, handoffs, and ownership areas to improve continuity and reduce reliance on individual team members.
- Recommend and support practical process enhancements that increase visibility, consistency, and control within the accounting function.
- Assist with audit-related requests, financial reporting needs, and activities tied to operating in a multi-entity, multi-system manufacturing environment.
