Job Information
Robert Half Divisional/Plant Controller in Indianapolis, Indiana
Description
We are looking for an experienced Divisional/Plant Controller Consultant with (Must Have) AX_IFM system experience...
Subject: Confidential – Interim Plant Controller (AX_IFM Required)
We are reaching out on a strictly confidential basis regarding an interim Plant Controller consulting engagement where hands‑on AX / IFM experience is non‑negotiable.
This role is designed for a controller‑level consultant who can step in immediately, take control, and extract the plant controller function from a departing incumbent within roughly 90 days, then work with the HQ team the rest of the year likely...
What matters most:
You’ve personally closed in AX IFM (journal entries, reconciliations, AR/AP — not oversight)
You’re comfortable operating without training in a messy or undocumented environment
You’ve handled carve‑outs / strip‑outs / sudden transitions before
You are willing to travel outside of the USA for a period of time to claw back files/laptop/procedures, perhaps with the incumbent involved.
The situation (high‑level):
Initial 3 months onsite to run a couple of closes and secure all local accounting data (travel and housing covered)
Potential for immediate separation of the current controller — discretion is essential
After stabilization, the controller role is fully migrated to HQ (Indianapolis) and accounting transitions into Sage Intacct
Engagement runs approx/no guarantee12 months total, including transition and wind‑down support
This is not a CFO role and not advisory. It’s a do‑the‑work controller assignment for someone who knows AX / IFM cold and can move fast.
If this aligns with your background — or if you’re currently on bench and open to a short‑notice deployment — I’d welcome a brief, confidential conversation.
Requirements
• Minimum of 7 years of experience in financial controllership or related roles.
• Proficiency in manufacturing cost accounting and financial reporting.
• Hands-on experience with month-end close processes and journal entry preparation.
• strong experience with AX IFM ERP/accounting systems is essential.
• Strong ability to operate in unstructured or undocumented environments.
• Experience with carve-outs, transitions, or stabilization projects.
• Excellent organizational and communication skills.
• Ability to work independently and adapt quickly to changing priorities.
