Job Description

Step into a true leadership role managing the full accounting function at a manufacturer with international backing — reporting directly to the VP of Finance, with succession planning paving the way for growth.


Accounting Manager
Salary: $90,000-$105,000 + discretionary bonus
Why This Opportunity Stands Out:



  • Report directly to the VP of Finance & HR with high visibility into company-wide financial operations

  • Own the general ledger and close process end-to-end — real ownership, not a piece of it

  • Build supervisory experience managing a Transactional Accountant

  • Gain specialized manufacturing accounting exposure — inventory, WIP, and cost of goods sold

  • Coordinate directly with outside auditors, tax preparers, and a UK parent company

  • Play a key role in improving ERP utilization and accounting processes

  • Clear, defined performance measures so you always know how you’re tracking


Key Responsibilities for the Accounting Manager:



  • Own the general ledger and month-end/year-end close process

  • Prepare monthly financial statements, management reports, and variance analyses

  • Oversee accounts payable, accounts receivable, cash application, and collections

  • Manage inventory accounting, WIP reconciliation, and cost of goods sold analysis

  • Coordinate the annual audit, tax preparation, and outside accountant requests

  • Train and supervise the Transactional Accountant


Qualifications for the Accounting Manager:



  • Bachelor’s degree in Accounting or Finance preferred

  • 5+ years of progressive accounting experience, including close and financial reporting ownership

  • Strong knowledge of U.S. GAAP and account reconciliations

  • Manufacturing, inventory, and cost accounting experience strongly preferred
