Staffing - Controller I at Mindlance in Keene, NH

Job description

• The Keene Plant Controller is the financial backbone of a ~***M opto-mechanical defense and imaging manufacturing operation, owning the integrity of the plant's financials from the shop floor up.
• This hands-on role demands deep expertise in internal controls (SOX, inventory, and revenue-cycle safeguards over a large, WIP-heavy balance sheet), cost accounting (standard costing, BOMs, work orders, and manufacturing variance analysis), and managerial accounting (product-line and program margin analytics, absorption, and the monthly plant P&L, inventory, and capital forecast).
