[HYBRID] Assistant Controller (accounting/finance exp. in manufacturing req.) Description Our client, a company dedicated to sustainability, is looking for an Assistant Controller to join their team outside of Atlanta.

You will be responsible for traditional ownership of accounting functionality while also identifying continuous improvement initiatives that ultimately empower better business decisions. You will be joining their team during a transformative time not only because they are getting ready to migrate to a new ERP within the next 18 months, but they are also entering a new era. Finance initiatives are now being run in the US as opposed to their overseas counterpart, so they have the autonomy to do things differently and lead with more unilateral governance.

Who you are: Although you understand you need to learn the ins and outs of your current infrastructure, you don’t get stuck in the present. You’re inherently consultative. While you pride yourself on your technical accounting acumen, you have never identified yourself as the “typical” accountant. Why? Because you have never understood how others settle for doing things the same way just because “that’s the way it’s always been done.” How could you? Your mind is constantly thinking about ways to do something better. Work smarter not harder is just the tip of the iceberg with you. You get excited about ways to leverage technology and increase automation. You understand people management is at the cornerstone of each leadership position and work diligently to create meaningful relationships across cross-functional teams. You acknowledge that change doesn’t come as easy for everyone else as it does for you, so you have refined your approach to how you lead others through it. You share the “whys” to usher buy-in and understand the importance of consistent, clear communication. After all, communication is key. That’s why you can easily pivot and translate technical information when talking with non-technical counterparts. You enjoy working with a leader who gives you the autonomy and trust to get the job done but you don’t hesitate to seek out the right people when you need further guidance. Ultimately, you are looking for a stable career that offers advancement in a stimulating environment that champions innovation and company growth without comprising cultural dynamics.
