Controller Orange, CT | Full-Time, Onsite $140,000–$160,000 + Discretionary Bonus
Why This Opportunity Stands Out
Direct line to executive leadership, with your reporting and recommendations shaping company strategy
True end-to-end ownership of the finance function — cash, payroll, AP/AR, inventory, and close, not just a piece of it
Oversee 5 direct reports and multiple indirect reports, with real influence over team structure and culture
Breadth beyond traditional accounting: banking, forecasting, POS/ordering systems, OSHA compliance, and vendor/customer relationships all in one seat
Established systems and processes already in place (Sage, Paychex, EDI) — you’re optimizing, not building from scratch
A stable, well-regarded company in an environmentally-focused industry looking for a long-term partner, not just a placement
Open to candidates ready to step up into their first Controller role, as well as seasoned leaders
Key Responsibilities
Own daily cash management, banking relationships, bank reconciliations, and payables across domestic and international accounts
Ensure accuracy of the general ledger and prepare monthly, quarterly, and annual financial statements
Lead month-end close, balance sheet reconciliations, and inventory costing in Sage
Supervise payroll processing and oversee compliance with payroll tax regulations
Oversee 5 direct reports and multiple indirect reports; monitor the POS/ordering system and support on-time shipping and fulfillment
Oversee OSHA compliance, annual audit, tax filings, and HR/insurance renewal processes
Qualifications
Bachelor’s degree in Accounting, Finance, or related field
Progressive accounting experience, including supervisory/team leadership
Strong knowledge of GAAP, financial reporting, and advanced Excel; experience with ERP and POS platforms a plus
