## Description

**This role is for one of the Weekday's clients**

**Location:** Seward, Nebraska

**Compensation:** $85,000 – $135,000 + bonus

**JobType:** full-time

Our client, an expanding company in the agriculture industry, is opening a brand-new facility near Seward, Nebraska,

and is seeking a **Financial Controller** to establish the accounting function from scratch.

This is a **newly established position directly linked to their growth**—not a replacement role.

If you have ever wanted the chance to step into a position where you can **design structure, impact systems, and genuinely**

**take full ownership of the results**, this is the perfect opportunity.

Even better—you will be involved **before operations are fully underway**, providing a unique opportunity to get ahead of the business, comprehend how everything operates, and help shape it correctly right from the start.

## Requirements

**Why This Opportunity Is Unique**

This position provides benefits that most Controller roles do not:

• **A genuine “build” opportunity** – Rather than inheriting flawed processes, you will have the chance to establish them correctly from the start

• **Time to proactively support the business** – Join before things become hectic, not after

• **Growth aligned with the operation’s expansion** – Your influence and responsibilities will increase as the facility grows

• **High-level visibility** – Collaborate directly with executive leadership and hold a pivotal position within the company

• **True ownership** – You will be the primary point of contact for all accounting matters at this location

**Your Key Responsibilities**

• Managing all accounting functions for the facility

• Ensuring accuracy in financial reporting including P&L, balance sheet, and general ledger

• Designing and implementing internal controls and accounting procedures

• Leading month-end close and reconciliation activities

• Supporting audit processes and maintaining financial integrity

• Supervising a small team covering accounts payable, payroll/HR, and administrative support

• Acting as the in-house expert on financial systems and ERP workflows

• Collaborating with leadership to deliver clear and dependable financial insights

**Ideal Candidates For This Role**

• A **Controller** seeking greater ownership and impact

• A **Senior Accountant** looking to advance into a leadership position

• An individual who enjoys building, enhancing, and taking initiative

• A professional who excels in a dynamic and growing environment

**Qualifications Sought**

• Bachelor’s degree in Accounting, Finance, or a related field (preferred)

• Approximately 4+ years of accounting or finance experience (flexible for exceptional candidates)

• Strong attention to detail and sense of accountability

• Experience with ERP systems (implementation experience is advantageous)

• Background in manufacturing, operational, or cost accounting is preferred

• Leadership experience or a demonstrated desire and ability to develop into a leadership role

**Compensation & Benefits**

• Base salary range: $85,000 – $135,000 depending on experience

• Annual bonus program

• **Fully employer-paid family health insurance**

• Affordable dental and vision plans

• Flexible paid time off based on experience

• Relocation assistance available

**Start Date & Onboarding**

• Target start period: Summer to early Fall

• Opportunity to come on board early and contribute to shaping operations **before full-scale ramp-up**

**In Summary**

This position is not about stepping into an existing framework.

It’s about **building, owning, and growing that framework alongside the business**.

If this aligns with the kind of opportunity you are seeking, it’s worth exploring further.
