CBIZ Talent and Compensations Solutions is assisting our privately held manufacturing client with their search for a Plant Controller in Astatula, FL.

Are you ready to bring financial strategy and operational insight to the heart of production? Our client is looking for a dynamic Plant Controller who thrives in fast-paced environments and is passionate about driving performance through data, partnership, and process improvement.

What You’ll Do:

• As our Plant Controller, you won’t just report the numbers — you’ll drive the business. You’ll be a key strategic partner to plant leadership, guiding decisions with financial intelligence and operational savvy.
• Lead all plant-level financial activities: cost accounting, budgeting, forecasting, and variance analysis.
• Collaborate with operations, supply chain, and leadership to identify efficiencies and unlock savings.
• Translate KPIs into actionable insights to boost productivity and profitability.
• Own inventory controls, product costing, and month-end close with precision and speed.
• Support CapEx projects, labor cost management, and lean initiatives with smart financial oversight.
• Serve as the financial conscience of the plant — proactive, analytical, and always value-focused.

Requirements:

• Bachelor’s in Accounting, Finance, or related field (CPA or CMA is a plus).
• 5+ years in cost accounting or plant finance, ideally in manufacturing.
• Strong knowledge of standard costing, ERP systems (SAP, Oracle, etc.), and Excel wizardry.
• A hands-on attitude with the confidence to challenge the status quo.
• Proven ability to communicate clearly across all levels — from shop floor to boardroom.

Why You’ll Love It Here:

• Be part of a high-impact leadership team — your voice will be heard.
• Work with cutting-edge manufacturing technology and products you can be proud of.
• Join a culture that values continuous improvement, innovation, and collaboration.
• Grow your career with a company that invests in its people.

As a condition of employment, all employees must pass a pre-employment drug test and are subject to random drug testing throughout their employment, as part of the client’s commitment to maintaining a drug-free workplace.

Only applicants of interest will be contacted.
