• Maintain organized financial records and supporting documentation.

• Research accounting matters and document conclusions when needed.

• Partner with finance and operational leaders to improve financial accuracy and reporting.

• Help develop inventory and cost-accounting processes as the organization expands its manufacturing operations.

• Identify opportunities to improve accounting systems, reporting, workflows, and close efficiency.

• Take on higher-level accounting and financial projects based on experience and business needs.

• Experience leading accounting work, reviewing the work of others, or serving in a lead or supervisory capacity.

• Advanced Microsoft Excel skills.

• Experience with accounting or enterprise resource planning systems.

• Willingness to perform detailed accounting work while also taking on higher-level responsibilities.

• Strong organizational skills, attention to detail, and follow-through.
