Controller

LMK Recruiting Solutions
Hillside, IL Full Time
POSTED ON 4/23/2025
AVAILABLE BEFORE 5/22/2025

Lead. Innovate. Accelerate Growth.

Our client is transforming the world of sensing and IoT with intelligent, sustainable solutions for a rapidly evolving landscape. As they scale at pace, they’re seeking an experienced Controller to lead financial strategy, elevate operational performance, and play a pivotal role in shaping the company’s future.


Why This Opportunity Stands Out

  • Strategic Leadership – Partner closely with the CFO and executive leadership to shape financial direction and influence business decisions.
  • Innovative Environment – Be part of a cutting-edge organization pioneering advancements in IoT and sensor-based technologies.
  • Scalable Impact – Take ownership of finance operations during a high-growth phase, with visibility into M&A and strategic transformation.


What You’ll Do

As Controller, you’ll lead the charge in building a world-class finance function that supports both day-to-day operations and long-term growth. You’ll:

  • Manage and optimize core accounting operations, including general ledger, payables/receivables, payroll, and financial reporting.
  • Develop and execute financial plans in partnership with the CFO to support strategic growth objectives.
  • Deliver actionable insights through accurate financial statements, variance analysis, and custom dashboards.
  • Enhance internal controls and lead implementation of systems and process improvements to support scale.
  • Contribute to M&A initiatives—performing financial modeling, due diligence, and supporting post-deal integration.
  • Mentor and develop a high-performing team while fostering a culture of collaboration and accountability.


What You’ll Bring

  • A bachelor’s degree in Accounting, Finance, or a related field (CPA or MBA strongly preferred).
  • At least 10 years of progressive finance experience, including 5 years in senior leadership.
  • A background in high-growth environments—ideally within technology, IoT, or advanced manufacturing sectors.
  • Strong command of GAAP, financial planning, forecasting, and internal control frameworks.
  • Hands-on experience with ERP systems (e.g., Infor) and advanced Excel or financial modeling tools.
  • M&A experience, from financial modeling to integration support.
  • A proactive, collaborative leadership style and the ability to navigate ambiguity with confidence.


What’s in It for You

  • Opportunity to shape financial strategy and operations in a cutting-edge company.
  • Meaningful work that drives innovation and sustainable solutions.
  • Competitive salary, performance-based incentives, and comprehensive benefits.
  • A collaborative, high-growth environment where your contributions truly matter.

If your compensation planning software is too rigid to deploy winning incentive strategies, it’s time to find an adaptable solution. Compensation Planning
