Assistant Divisional Controller

Sugar Mountain • Seattle, WA

23d • $115,000 - $125,000 • Hybrid

About The Position

Sugar Mountain is a creative, family-owned food company that is home to extraordinary brands like Beecher’s Handmade Cheese, Mishima Reserve, and The Butcher’s Table. We’re passionate about making real food with absolutely zero artificial ingredients. We’re a team at the forefront of the food revolution, passionate about our mission to Change the Way America Eats. For the past 6 years, we’ve been recognized as a Great Place to Work and we’re proud of the value-driven, mission-forward culture that fuels our growth. We’re on the hunt for an Assistant Divisional Controller who’s equal parts analytical powerhouse and curious problem-solver — someone who loves digging into the details, asking “why,” and partnering with a fast-moving, collaborative team. If you enjoy a good laugh, thrive in a people-first environment, and don’t mind rolling up your sleeves (sometimes literally), you’re going to fit right in. We offer a hybrid work model, blending at-home flexibility with in-office connection.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree in Accounting.
• 6–8 years of corporate accounting and financial reporting experience.
• 2–4 years in cost, inventory, or manufacturing accounting (strongly preferred).
• Intermediate to advanced Excel skills (you know your way around a pivot table).
• Strong understanding of business processes and systems — and how to translate numbers into decisions.
• Detail-oriented, organized, and able to run with things independently.
• Able to balance hands-on execution with big-picture thinking.
• Experience working across multiple business units and intercompany consolidations.
• A warm, collaborative approach and the ability to build trust across teams, vendors, and customers.

Nice To Haves

• 3+ years of supervisory or team development experience (preferred but not required).
• ERP chops — Great Plains, Business Central/Dynamics, or Inecta is a plus.
• Experience in food manufacturing, restaurant, or retail accounting is a bonus.

Responsibilities

• Run point on core accounting functions — period close, journal entries, reconciliations, and general ledger management.
• Shepherd inventory accounting across multiple locations (you know, keeping the chaos organized).
• Prepare and analyze financial statements, including COGS, margin analysis, and insights that help guide divisional decisions.
• Spot inefficiencies, streamline processes, and help strengthen our systems and controls.
• Build, maintain, and document SOPs and internal controls that would make your auditor proud.
• Support ERP upgrades and new system implementations without losing your sense of humor.
• Assist with internal and external audits and keep us looking sharp.
• Partner with cross-functional teams to provide insights that actually mean something.
• Contribute to budgets, forecasts, and performance metrics as our business grows.
• Adapt as we scale — new challenges, new opportunities, new ways to make an impact.
• Jump in wherever needed. “Other duties as assigned” is just another way of saying, “We trust you to help us get it done.”

Benefits

• We offer medical, dental, vision and life insurance premiums, along with paid time-off, paid holidays and a 401(k) plan with a company match.
• Employees enjoy a 35% employee discount at Sugar Mountain locations.
