Interim Controller (3–6 Months)
PE-Backed Manufacturing | Immediate Need
Not your typical “keep the seat warm” interim role.
This is a hands-on Controller opportunity with a PE-backed manufacturer going through a post-acquisition transition. The team needs someone who can step in quickly, bring structure to the accounting function, and help stabilize things during a critical period.
If you enjoy rolling up your sleeves, fixing what’s broken, and making an impact quickly… this is that kind of project.
What you’ll be walking into
Recently acquired business going through integration
Established accounting team in place (you won’t be starting from scratch)
Need for stronger processes, reporting visibility, and consistency
Leadership team that actually wants a partner, not just a scorekeeper
What you’ll own
Full oversight of accounting + financial reporting across multiple entities
Month-end close and financial statement accuracy
Cost accounting, inventory, and manufacturing reporting
Supporting leadership with visibility into performance + key decisions
Tightening up processes, controls, and ERP usage (Business Central)
What matters most
Prior Controller experience in manufacturing
Strong cost accounting background (this is big for them)
Comfortable stepping into change / ambiguity (PE environment helps)
Experience with Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central
The details
3–6 month engagement
Immediate start
PE-backed environment with real exposure to leadership
Opportunity to make a visible impact quickly
If you’ve done this kind of work before, you know these projects can either be a mess… or a really fun challenge.
Happy to share more context if it’s even remotely worth a conversation.
