Accounting Manager


Shared Services Leadership Opportunity


Confidential Manufacturing Organization
Twin Cities (Hybrid) | $130,000–$140,000 + Bonus + Profit Sharing


Ready to take the next step in your accounting leadership career?


We're partnering with a highly respected Twin Cities organization to identify an experienced Accounting Manager to lead a large-scale Order-to-Cash (Accounts Receivable) function within a sophisticated Shared Services environment.


This is much more than a traditional Accounts Receivable leadership role. We're looking for a strong accounting leader who enjoys combining people leadership, financial analysis, operational excellence, and continuous process improvement in a highly visible position with outstanding long-term growth potential.


Why This Opportunity Stands Out



  • Highly visible leadership role within a large, complex Shared Services organization

  • Lead an established team while driving operational excellence and continuous improvement

  • Blend accounting, financial analysis, and operational leadership—not just transactional AR management

  • Strong exposure to enterprise-wide process improvement and automation initiatives

  • Collaborative, servant leadership culture with excellent internal career growth opportunities

  • Hybrid work model (3 days onsite / 2 days remote)

  • Competitive compensation, bonus, profit sharing, and comprehensive benefits


What You'll Do



  • Lead and develop a high-performing Order-to-Cash / Accounts Receivable team

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

  • Manage month-end responsibilities including journal entries, reconciliations, financial reporting, and variance analysis

  • Monitor operational performance, KPIs, internal controls, and customer service metrics

  • Partner with business leaders to resolve complex customer and operational issues

  • Drive automation, process improvements, and Shared Services transformation initiatives

  • Coach and develop team members while fostering a collaborative, customer-focused culture


What We're Looking For



  • Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, or related field

  • 7+ years of progressive accounting, Shared Services, or financial operations experience

  • Prior leadership experience within Accounting, Shared Services, or Order-to-Cash environments

  • Strong accounting foundation including GAAP, journal entries, reconciliations, month-end close, and financial reporting

  • Excellent analytical, problem-solving, and communication skills

  • Experience leading process improvements within a complex, high-volume environment

  • Servant leadership style with a passion for coaching and developing people


Compensation & Benefits



  • $130,000–$140,000 base salary

  • Annual bonus

  • Profit sharing

  • Comprehensive benefits package

  • Hybrid work environment


Location


Maplewood, Minnesota (Hybrid)


If you're looking to leverage your accounting and leadership experience in a highly visible Shared Services role with excellent long-term growth potential, we'd welcome the opportunity to connect.
