Accounting Manager


Operational Accounting Leadership Opportunity


Confidential Manufacturing Organization


Twin Cities, MN (Hybrid) | $130,000–$145,000 + Bonus + Profit Sharing



Looking for your next leadership opportunity?


We're partnering with a highly respected Twin Cities organization to identify an experienced Accounting Manager for a highly visible leadership position within a large, enterprise Shared Services organization.


This is an outstanding opportunity for an accounting leader who enjoys combining technical accounting, financial analysis, operational leadership, process improvement, and people development in a collaborative environment.


While the role provides leadership over the organization's Order-to-Cash function, this is fundamentally an operational accounting leadership role requiring a strong General Ledger and financial reporting background.



Why This Opportunity Stands Out



  • Highly visible Accounting Manager position within a large Shared Services organization.

  • Blend technical accounting, financial reporting, operations, and leadership.

  • Lead an established, high-performing team.

  • Partner with senior leadership on automation and business transformation initiatives.

  • Opportunity to influence enterprise-wide accounting operations.

  • Collaborative, servant leadership culture.

  • Excellent long-term career growth and advancement opportunities.

  • Hybrid work schedule (3 days onsite / 2 days remote).



What You'll Do



  • Lead and develop a high-performing accounting operations team supporting the Order-to-Cash process.

  • Oversee customer invoicing, cash application, customer account support, credits, and related accounting activities.

  • Own month-end accounting responsibilities including:

    • Journal entries

    • Balance sheet reconciliations

    • Financial reporting

    • Variance analysis

    • Internal controls



  • Monitor operational performance, KPIs, service levels, and process effectiveness.

  • Partner with Finance, Operations, IT, and business leaders to improve processes and enhance customer experience.

  • Lead continuous improvement and automation initiatives within Shared Services.

  • Coach, mentor, and develop employees while fostering a collaborative, customer-focused culture.



What We're Looking For



  • Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, or related business discipline.

  • Progressive accounting experience within mid-sized or large organizations.

  • Current Accounting Manager or comparable accounting leadership experience.

  • Strong General Ledger accounting knowledge.

  • Experience with:

    • GAAP

    • Month-end close

    • Journal entries

    • Balance sheet reconciliations

    • Financial reporting

    • Revenue recognition

    • Variance analysis



  • Prior Shared Services, Accounting Operations, Revenue Accounting, or Order-to-Cash experience preferred.

  • Advanced Excel skills.

  • Strong leadership, communication, and relationship-building abilities.

  • Passion for continuous improvement and developing high-performing teams.



Compensation & Benefits



  • $130,000–$145,000 base salary

  • Annual bonus

  • Profit sharing

  • Comprehensive benefits package

  • Hybrid work environment
