Job Description

About the Company

Our client is a U.S.-based industrial platform backed by UK investors. The company is pursuing a focused buy-and-build strategy, acquiring and integrating high-quality industrial businesses across Minnesota, Wisconsin, and Iowa.

Having completed two acquisitions in 2025, the group has scaled rapidly to approximately $25 million in annual revenue. With a defined roadmap in place, the organization is targeting $100 million in revenue within the next two years. To support this growth trajectory, the company is seeking to hire its first in-house Controller to lead all aspects of financial strategy, management, and reporting.

About the Role

The Controller will have primary responsibility for establishing and managing the finance function across the organization. This newly created role provides an opportunity to design scalable processes, build systems, and partner closely with senior leadership to drive integration and support future acquisitions.

The position will be primarily remote, with preference for candidates based in the Minneapolis–Saint Paul area. Periodic travel to manufacturing sites in Minnesota, Wisconsin, and Iowa will be required.

Key responsibilities include:

• Owning and streamlining the finance function across two newly acquired manufacturing businesses
• Developing scalable financial processes, controls, and reporting structures
• Partnering with cross-functional leaders to identify, implement, and integrate new systems
• Supporting post-acquisition integration activities and preparing the organization for additional acquisitions
• Acting as a strategic business partner to the CEO and leadership team

This is a rare opportunity to define the finance function from the ground up and play a pivotal role in shaping the company’s growth strategy.

About the Candidate

The successful candidate will be a proven finance leader with strong problem-solving skills, the ability to challenge conventional approaches, and the creativity to build effective solutions in a rapidly scaling environment.

Qualifications include:

• CPA designation strongly preferred
• Demonstrated experience working across multiple business units and/or entities
• Experience with multi-state operations preferred
• Manufacturing sector experience is beneficial but not required; prior success implementing process improvements in a manufacturing environment is a plus

The company’s CEO has a track record of hiring and developing ambitious professionals. This role offers significant opportunity for professional growth as the organization continues to scale.
