The posting

This role is for one of the Weekday's clients

Location: Seward, Nebraska

Compensation: $85,000 – $135,000 + bonus

JobType: full-time

Our client, an expanding company in the agriculture industry, is opening a brand-new facility near Seward, Nebraska,

and is seeking a Financial Controller to establish the accounting function from scratch.

This is a newly established position directly linked to their growth—not a replacement role.

If you have ever wanted the chance to step into a position where you can design structure, impact systems, and genuinely

take full ownership of the results, this is the perfect opportunity.

Even better—you will be involved before operations are fully underway, providing a unique opportunity to get ahead of the business, comprehend how everything operates, and help shape it correctly right from the start.

Requirements

Why This Opportunity Is Unique

This position provides benefits that most Controller roles do not:

• A genuine “build” opportunity – Rather than inheriting flawed processes, you will have the chance to establish them correctly from the start

• Time to proactively support the business – Join before things become hectic, not after

• Growth aligned with the operation’s expansion – Your influence and responsibilities will increase as the facility grows

• High-level visibility – Collaborate directly with executive leadership and hold a pivotal position within the company

• True ownership – You will be the primary point of contact for all accounting matters at this location

Your Key Responsibilities

• Managing all accounting functions for the facility

• Ensuring accuracy in financial reporting including P&L, balance sheet, and general ledger

• Designing and implementing internal controls and accounting procedures

• Leading month-end close and reconciliation activities

• Supporting audit processes and maintaining financial integrity

• Supervising a small team covering accounts payable, payroll/HR, and administrative support

• Acting as the in-house expert on financial systems and ERP workflows

• Collaborating with leadership to deliver clear and dependable financial insights

Ideal Candidates For This Role

• A Controller seeking greater ownership and impact

• A Senior Accountant looking to advance into a leadership position

• An individual who enjoys building, enhancing, and taking initiative

• A professional who excels in a dynamic and growing environment

Qualifications Sought

• Bachelor’s degree in Accounting, Finance, or a related field (preferred)

• Approximately 4+ years of accounting or finance experience (flexible for exceptional candidates)

• Strong attention to detail and sense of accountability

• Experience with ERP systems (implementation experience is advantageous)

• Background in manufacturing, operational, or cost accounting is preferred

• Leadership experience or a demonstrated desire and ability to develop into a leadership role

Compensation & Benefits

• Base salary range: $85,000 – $135,000 depending on experience

• Annual bonus program

• Fully employer-paid family health insurance

• Affordable dental and vision plans

• Flexible paid time off based on experience

• Relocation assistance available

Start Date & Onboarding

• Target start period: Summer to early Fall

• Opportunity to come on board early and contribute to shaping operations before full-scale ramp-up

In Summary

This position is not about stepping into an existing framework.

It’s about building, owning, and growing that framework alongside the business.

If this aligns with the kind of opportunity you are seeking, it’s worth exploring further.
