Business Unit Controller

LHH is partnering with a leading industrial-focused organization seeking a Business Unit Controller to support a major operational business unit. This individual will act as a strategic finance partner while also owning core accounting, reporting, and cost accounting functions.

This position sits at the intersection of finance and operations-ideal for someone who enjoys driving insights, improving processes, and influencing performance across a manufacturing environment.

**This is a fully remote position but candidate needs to sit in Houston**

Key Responsibilities

• Lead financial reporting for the business unit, including monthly, quarterly, and annual close processes
• Deliver actionable insights to senior leadership to support strategic decision-making
• Own budgeting and forecasting processes, partnering closely with operations leaders
• Analyze key performance drivers, including cost accounting metrics, variances, and operational KPIs
• Develop forward-looking financial models and strategic plans
• Evaluate capital investments and support long-term growth initiatives
• Ensure compliance with accounting standards and internal policies
• Strengthen internal controls and risk management processes
• Partner cross-functionally to identify operational efficiencies and cost improvement opportunities
• Lead and develop a team of accounting and finance professionals
• Support ongoing systems and process enhancements to improve reporting and scalability

What You Bring

• Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, or related field (CPA or MBA preferred)
• 7+ years of progressive experience in accounting, finance, or business unit leadership roles
• Strong background in manufacturing or cost accounting environments
• Proven ability to partner with operations and influence decision-making
• Advanced financial modeling and analytical capabilities
• Experience working with ERP systems (e.g., SAP, Oracle, or similar platforms)
• Advanced Excel skills
• Strong business acumen with a hands-on, problem-solving mindset

Why This Role Stands Out

• High-visibility role with direct exposure to executive leadership
• Opportunity to shape financial strategy and operational performance
• Clear path for career progression within a growing organization
• Collaborative, performance-driven culture with strong leadership support
