Fractional Manufacturing Controller (Part-Time)
\nPart-Time (~20 hrs/week) | Onsite/Hybrid – Ellington, CT | Direct Hire | $50–$75/hr

\n\n

About the Opportunity

\n\n

Our client is a privately held custom plastic injection molding manufacturer running a busy, around-the-clock operation. Having grown from a small shop into a company of 100+ employees, they're focused on keeping their small-company feel while putting more mature financial structure in place. The management team runs the business day to day and has real autonomy. This is a flexible, part-time engagement well suited to an experienced accounting professional who values control over their schedule — the ideal profile is someone like a semi-retired professional or a returning-workforce parent who wants meaningful, hands-on work with flexible hours.

\n\n

The Role

\n\n

Our client is looking for a hands-on Controller to take financial leadership off the CEO's plate and bring a busy manufacturing accounting function fully in-house. This is a true \"in-between\" role — a blend of tactical, roll-up-your-sleeves accounting and higher-level strategic analysis, not one or the other. You'll own month-end close, present financials to the management team, dig into inventory-to-GL and standard costing variances, and absorb cash flow reporting and financial analysis currently handled by an outside firm. You'll also mentor a developing accounting specialist over time. Hours flex up during audit season (February) and back down in slower months, and there's a possible path to full-time if workload and budget justify it.

\n\n

What You'll Do

\n\n

Own month-end close independently
Present financials and executive-level summaries to the management team
Investigate and resolve inventory-to-GL variances
Own standard costing analysis and diagnose root causes of variances
Absorb cash flow reporting and financial analysis as an outsourced engagement is phased out
Mentor and develop a junior accounting specialist over time
Balance detailed, hands-on accounting with higher-level strategic analysis

\n\n

What You Bring (Must-Haves)

\n\n

Manufacturing industry accounting experience (required)
ERP experience — IQMS/DELMIAworks strongly preferred; Plex, Sage, or SAP acceptable
Genuinely hands-on — personally executes tactical work, not just directs others
Controller / Accounting Manager level (not CFO level)
Strong financial acumen — able to investigate variances, diagnose root causes, and present findings to leadership
Comfort with both detailed accounting and higher-level analysis
Background from a smaller manufacturing company (ideally under $75M in revenue)
Bachelor's degree or substantial, proven equivalent experience
Flexibility to scale hours up during audit season and down in slower months

\n\n

Nice to have: IQMS ERP experience specifically
