Manager, Accounting
Salary:130k-150k plus bonus

Step into a high-visibility leadership role where you’ll directly influence financial strategy for a global manufacturing segment. This is a hands-on opportunity to lead, partner with senior executives, and drive real operational impact.

Why This Opportunity Stands Out:


  • Direct exposure to Segment CFO, Controller, and senior finance leadership

  • Lead and develop a high-impact team while shaping accounting strategy

  • Play a key role in a global manufacturing environment with real business influence

  • Broad scope across inventory, costing, and plant operations—avoid siloed work

  • Opportunity to modernize processes and leverage data/analytics for decision-making

  • Partner cross-functionally with operations, sourcing, IT, and corporate finance

  • Visibility into strategic initiatives, including ERP enhancements and new product activity

  • Strong mix of leadership, technical accounting, and business partnering

  • Hybrid flexibility


Key Responsibilities for the Manager, Accounting:


  • Lead month-end close activities, including inventory reserves, accruals, and reporting

  • Oversee inventory accounting, standard costing, and variance analysis

  • Partner with manufacturing plants to resolve costing, inventory, and margin issues

  • Review journal entries, reconciliations, and financial reporting accuracy

  • Support audits and ensure compliance with internal controls and accounting policies

  • Mentor and develop a team of accounting professionals


Qualifications for the Manager, Accounting:


  • Bachelor’s degree in Accounting or Finance; CPA preferred

  • 5+ years of progressive accounting/finance experience, including 2+ in manufacturing

  • Strong knowledge of inventory accounting, GL, and costing processes

  • Experience with ERP systems (Oracle, SAP, Hyperion, or OneStream preferred)
