  • Partner with corporate finance on business unit P&L ownership and support M&A, capital investment, or restructuring analyses as needed

Financial Reporting & Accounting

  • Oversee standard costing system, including material, labor, subcon fees, and overhead cost structures; reconciliation of inventory to balance sheet and ledger accounts
  • Lead the analysis of gross margin, cost of sales, inventory trends, turnover ratios, and production yield data
  • Ensure accurate, timely close processes & audit-ready financials
  • Maintain & strengthen SOX internal controls 

Inventory Control

  • Plan/execute physical inventories and reconciliation to SAP
  • Monitor/communicate inventory movement trends & impact to P&L

Reporting & Analysis

  • Develop/maintain management reporting dashboards and KPI frameworks 
  • Analyze variances arising from production and purchasing activities, including production order variances and PPV
  • Validate GAAP and non-GAAP P&L results through detailed COS analysis

Systems & Process Excellence

  • Champion key modules in SAP, ensuring data integrity & scalability
  • Drive process improvements, automation, and system enhancements
  • Oversee cost allocations, activity rates, and planning cycles with precision

Leadership & Influence

  • Build a culture of accountability, continuous improvement & collaboration

What You Bring

  • Bachelor's degree with CPA, CMA or MBA highly preferred
  • 10+ years of progressive experience in manufacturing finance with background in ramping up/transforming high-growth plant operations (computer/electronics manufacturing a major win)
  • Expertise in SAP
  • Deep understanding of standard costing, manufacturing cost structures, and inventory accounting
  • Working knowledge of SOX/internal controls
  • Strong executive communication skills -- you can turn complexity into clarity -- liaison effectively with Engineers and Manufacturing Operations leaders
