Role Summary

CardioQuip is seeking a hands-on Controller to own accounting operations, monthly close, financial reporting, NetSuite accounting workflows, inventory/COGS, cost accounting, and practical internal controls for a growing medical device manufacturer in College Station, Texas.

This is a high-impact role for someone who likes rolling up their sleeves, bringing order to complexity, developing people, improving systems, and helping a growing company make better decisions.

About CardioQuip

CardioQuip designs and manufactures cardiovascular medical devices that support perfusionists and clinical teams in hospitals across the U.S. and internationally.

Our products support clinicians during critical procedures, and our work matters because patients, hospitals, and clinical teams are counting on us.

CardioQuip is a growing 60+ person company based in College Station, Texas, with a culture built on trust, ownership, practical problem-solving, follow-through, and genuine care for people.

Why This Role Matters

CardioQuip has a solid accounting foundation, a capable accounting team, clean core inventory records, and a strong operating business. The opportunity now is to help mature the finance function for the company’s next stage of growth.

The Controller will report to the President and partner closely with the CFO, accounting team, operations leaders, external tax advisors, NetSuite support, and outside advisors.

You will not be starting from scratch, and you will not be building alone. You will own the day-to-day accounting operating rhythm while helping Finance become a more proactive partner to the business.

In the first 6–12 months, success looks like:

• A reliable monthly close process with clear ownership, sequencing, reconciliations, review cadence, and timeline
• A consistent leadership reporting package that explains revenue, gross margin, COGS, inventory, cash, working capital, and operating performance
• Continued accuracy in inventory and COGS reporting, with better visibility into product margins, service margins, and manufacturing drivers
• Practical internal controls that support the business without slowing it down
• Better NetSuite accounting workflows and reporting structure
• A finance function that is a more proactive partner to Operations, Supply Chain, Quality, HR, and leadership

• Review payment runs, journal entries, account reconciliations, and credit card settlements

Inventory & Cost Accounting

• Own inventory accounting in NetSuite, including item setup, BOMs, costs, builds/work orders, receipts, adjustments, and reconciliations

• Communicate inventory and COGS drivers clearly to Operations, Supply Chain, Quality, and leadership
• Support cycle counts, physical inventory, and efforts to reduce discrepancies, obsolete inventory, and slow-moving stock

Leadership & Team Development

• Lead and develop a small accounting team across AP, AR, collections, and payroll accounting
• Partner with Operations, Supply Chain, Quality, HR, and leadership on financial processes and reporting
• Provide inputs and operational insight for budgeting and forecasting
• Support decision-making on pricing, margins, capital expenditures, inventory planning, and major projects
