CFS • Branford, CT, US • 1d ago

Position: Controller

Location: New Haven County (Full-Time | Onsite)
Reports To: CEO
Compensation: $130,000 + strong, reliable bonus plan

We are seeking a hands-on, experienced Controller to lead all accounting and finance operations for a well-established, privately held manufacturing company on the shoreline in New Haven County.

This is a high-impact role for a manufacturing finance professional who enjoys being close to the business—owning the numbers, partnering with operations, and driving profitability through strong cost accounting, inventory oversight, and financial leadership.

If you’re looking for a long-term home where your work is valued, your voice is heard, and you can help shape the future of a growing company, this is an outstanding opportunity.

What You’ll Do

As Controller, you will oversee the full finance function while providing strategic insight and financial discipline across the organization.

Key Responsibilities

Lead the company’s budgeting, forecasting, and financial planning process
Oversee all accounting functions, including GL, AP, AR, payroll, and fixed assets
Manage accurate and timely month-end and year-end close and reporting
Own all areas of manufacturing cost accounting, including standard costing, inventory valuation, and variance analysis
Partner with leadership to improve profitability, cost controls, and operational performance
Manage cash flow, working capital, and banking relationships
Ensure compliance with GAAP, internal controls, and audit/tax support
Drive enhancements in ERP systems, reporting tools, and process improvement
Lead, mentor, and develop the accounting team as the company grows

What We’re Looking For

10+ years of progressive accounting and finance experience
Strong background in manufacturing or inventory-based accounting
Expertise in cost accounting, inventory controls, and operational finance
Experience supporting leadership in a small to mid-sized, privately held company
Comfortable being both strategic and hands-on in execution
CPA and/or public accounting experience is a plus

Why Join Us

This is more than a traditional Controller role—it’s an opportunity to become a core member of the leadership team and help drive the company forward.

Stability & Longevity: Join a well-established business with a strong reputation and long-term growth plans
Leadership Access: Direct partnership with the CEO and influence on strategic decisions
Meaningful Ownership: Broad responsibility and the ability to shape processes, reporting, and financial structure
Operational Impact: Work closely with manufacturing and operations to drive performance
Culture of Trust: A collaborative, down-to-earth environment where contributions matter
