Global Corporate Controller - Acrow Corporation

Global Corporate Controller

Primary Purpose

The Global Corporate Controller will play a critical
leadership role in shaping Acrow's financial future, strengthening its
financial position, and supporting profitable growth across its domestic and
international operations.

Reporting to the Chief Financial Officer, this individual
will have responsibility for the integrity, accuracy, and timeliness of the
company's worldwide financial reporting and will oversee accounting operations
across domestic and international subsidiaries. The Global Corporate Controller
will develop and maintain integrated financial reporting systems, ensure
compliance with U.S. GAAP and applicable IFRS standards, lead the
implementation of accounting policies and internal controls, and further develop
harmonized management reporting and key performance indicators.

This role requires more than strong technical accounting
expertise. The successful candidate will be a hands-on, financially curious
leader who is willing to dig into the details, understand the business behind
the numbers, and translate financial information into meaningful insights for
senior leadership. They will be equally comfortable working with executives,
collaborating across functions and geographies, and developing and leading
members of the finance organization.

As Acrow continues to grow and evolve, the Global Corporate
Controller will also play an important role in strengthening processes,
improving financial systems and reporting capabilities, and building the
financial infrastructure needed to support the company's future.
