Finance Manager

FBN Sales • Plainwell, MI

20h • Onsite

About The Position

About the Role: We are looking for a finance and accounting professional to join our team as a Finance Manager. This is a brand-new position for us, one that sits between accounting and finance, and helps bring more clarity, structure, and consistency to how we manage our numbers. Historically, we have leaned heavily on our CPA for financial oversight. As the business has grown, we are ready to bring more of that work in-house. In partnership with leadership this role will be responsible for budgeting, reporting, accuracy, process improvement, and making sure our systems talk to each other. We are looking for someone who enjoys building systems, solving problems with technology, and is excited about shaping a role as you grow into it! FBN was founded in 1988. Since then, FBN has manufactured replacement parts and provided service for the food and beverage, pharmaceutical, distillery, automotive, chemical, cosmetic, personal care and the rapidly growing microbrew industry. Over the years, we have expanded our design and machining capabilities in order to meet the needs of our customers and to ensure we are providing the highest quality parts and service. Why This Role Is Different: This is a new position for us. We know what we need : better reporting, tighter processes, cleaner handoffs between systems, and internal ownership of our monthly/quarterly financial rhythm. We do not know exactly how the role will evolve and that’s part of the opportunity. You’ll help define the workflows, the reporting cadence, and the systems that will guide our next stage of growth.
