The Opportunity
We are looking for a proactive, hands-on Accounting Manager to lead our accounting operations. This is an opportunity to take ownership of the monthly close, financial reporting, and day-to-day accounting operations while strengthening internal controls and improving accounting processes. You will also be the primary day-to-day contact for our external auditors.
You'll have the opportunity to make a meaningful impact, drive improvements, and gain exposure to FP&A, treasury, manufacturing finance, and capital projects.
We're looking for someone who enjoys solving problems, takes initiative, and is equally comfortable managing accounting processes and rolling up their sleeves to get things done.
What You'll Do
Lead the monthly close: Own the month-end close process, including journal entries, accruals, account reconciliations, and preparation of accurate and timely financial statements. Manage the close calendar and drive close-cycle improvements, including a shorter timeline, standardized reconciliation templates, and automation.
Oversee accounting operations: Manage AP, AR, cash transactions, and general ledger activities, ensuring accuracy, completeness, and timely processing. Own the chart of accounts, GL hygiene, and balance sheet integrity.
Strengthen financial reporting: Prepare and review financial statements, analyze budget-to-actual variances, and provide meaningful insights to finance leadership.
Support technical accounting: Research and document accounting treatments for complex transactions, working with finance leadership and external advisors as needed.
Build manufacturing accounting capabilities: Partner with Operations and Engineering to establish and improve cost accounting, inventory, capital expenditure, and project cost tracking processes.
Support financial planning: Assist with budgeting, cash forecasting, financial analysis, and capital-project reporting.
Manage audit and compliance: Coordinate annual audits and financial statement preparation, serve as the primary day-to-day contact for external auditors, maintain supporting schedules, work with tax advisors, and ensure compliance with U.S. GAAP and company accounting policies.
Improve processes and controls: Identify opportunities to streamline workflows, strengthen internal controls, improve systems, and build scalable accounting processes.
Collaborate across the business: Coordinate accounting activities and work with internal and external team members to resolve issues and support business initiatives.
Lead accounting team : Mentor and coach junior accounting staff.
