Posted on Tue, Sep 22, 2026

We are seeking a versatile finance leader who pairs hands-on accounting rigor with strategic FP&A capabilities. This individual should possess a "COO mentality" and someone who looks beyond the ledger to streamline operations, manage strict SOX controls, and run the financial health of the business like an owner. This role blends the technical mastery of a plant controllership with the analytical foresight needed to manage complex project financial structures.
The Director of FP&A will lead the accounting, financial reporting, and strategic analysis for the field services division of a global industrial manufacturing organization located in Berks County, PA.
In this strategic leadership role, you will partner closely with operations and senior management to oversee the financial closing process, drive forecast accuracy, analyze profitability, and enable data-driven decision-making to optimize business outcomes.
