Job Description

Ready to step into a high-impact leadership role where you can shape finance operations and drive real business decisions?
This is a rare opportunity to take ownership of a well-established accounting function while driving modernization and process improvement.


Accounting Manager
Salary: $140K-$160K


Why This Opportunity Stands Out:
• Step into a leadership role with immediate visibility to executive leadership, including the VP of Finance

• Gain exposure to a global parent company with structured reporting and growth opportunities
• Be a key driver in ERP optimization and finance transformation initiatives
• Work cross-functionally with Operations, Supply Chain, and Sales teams in a true business-partnering role
• Influence strategic decision-making through financial insights and analysis
• Enjoy a hands-on leadership position balancing strategy with execution
• Join a stable, established aerospace and manufacturing organization with 65+ years of success
• Opportunity to lead process improvements and implement best-in-class accounting practices


Key Responsibilities for the Accounting Manager:
• Lead month-end, quarter-end, and year-end close processes
• Prepare and review financial statements, journal entries, and reconciliations
• Oversee AP/AR, inventory, fixed assets, and compliance reporting
• Manage audits and ensure adherence to U.S. GAAP and corporate policies
• Conduct variance analysis and provide actionable financial insights
• Lead and develop the accounting team while driving process improvements


Qualifications for the Accounting Manager:
