Controller
About The Position
Orbitform is seeking an experienced Controller to lead financial operations for our family of companies. Based primarily at our Jackson, MI headquarters, this role also provides financial oversight and support for two affiliated businesses: Wardcraft (Spring Arbor, MI) and C&B (New Hudson, MI).

This is a great fit for a hands-on finance leader who enjoys variety, cross-entity collaboration, and building strong processes rather than just maintaining them.
