Bloomingdale / Global
This is not a role for someone who closes the books and calls it a month. At Korpack, we're looking for a Controller who treats the close as a product with a shipping date, costing as the source of truth the whole company runs on, and manual processes as problems to be automated out of existence. Korpack is a food-grade (SQF) co-packer for leading consumer brands — doubling into 350,000 sq ft, running high-mix production where scrap varies, weights convert to quantities, and margin lives or dies on BOM and routing accuracy in Acumatica.
Our CFO is building the financial engine that scales this company, and this seat is its foundation: accurate, fast, GAAP-compliant financials; costing the leadership team never has to second-guess; and controls that make growth safe. If you've owned a close and made it faster, and you get genuinely annoyed watching someone re-key data a system should have handled — keep reading.
THE JOURNEY
1. Own the Monthly Close
Cut close time to 6 business days — accurate, GAAP-compliant, every month. The close has an owner now: you.
2. Own Costing & Inventory Valuation
Reliable COGS and margin data through BOM and routing accuracy in Acumatica, with variance analysis that explains — not just reports — what moved.
Our world includes catch-weight conversions, reason-coded scrap, and per-work-order costing for brand customers. Costing here is a craft, not a rollforward.
3. Build Internal Controls & Scalable Process
Documented procedures, segregation of duties, audit-readiness — the control environment of the company Korpack is becoming, built inside the company it is today.
4. Develop the Team
Manage and grow a Senior Accountant and an Intern from day one — rigor, ownership, and a bench that scales with the function.
5. Support the CFO
Reporting, forecasting, cash flow visibility, and budget-to-actual analysis that make leadership faster — the CFO's analytical partner, not a report generator.
WHAT SUCCESS LOOKS LIKE
Close lands in 6 business days and nobody breaks a sweat getting there
Leadership quotes your margin numbers in decisions without a second source
Variances come with causes attached; surprises get rarer every quarter
An auditor could walk in any month and find documented, followed processes
Your Senior Accountant is visibly better every quarter — and the manual work list keeps shrinking
THE REQUIREMENTS
Required
Hands-on manufacturing cost accounting experience — standard costs, BOMs, routings, variances — not just general accounting at a manufacturing company
A proven track record OWNING monthly close (not participating in it), with a history of shortening close timelines you can walk us through
