Finance that can walk the floor and explain the variance.
Manufacturing finance is not corporate finance. It is standard cost, labor and overhead absorption, inventory accuracy, and a capital request that has to be defended against a real payback. We recruit the controllers and finance leaders who understand where the money actually goes in a plant — plus the HR and commercial leadership that keeps the business running around them.
