Job Description

We're partnering with a well-established manufacturing company in Louisville that is looking to add a Senior Accountant to its finance team. Reporting to the Corporate Controller, this person will take ownership of the month-end close process for multiple locations, support financial reporting, coordinate the external audit, and serve as a key finance partner to operations. This is a strong opportunity for someone who enjoys a broad accounting role, wants visibility with leadership, and likes working closely with plant operations.

What You'll Be Doing

  • Lead month-end close activities for facilities in Louisville, Boston, and Texas

  • Prepare journal entries, accruals, allocations, and general ledger reconciliations

  • Perform balance sheet reconciliations and resolve variances

  • Assist with monthly financial reporting and management reporting packages

  • Analyze operating results and investigate financial variances

  • Partner with plant managers and operations leaders to better understand expenses and business performance

  • Manage fixed assets and related reporting

  • Oversee corporate credit card accounting and expense reporting activities

  • Coordinate the annual external audit process, including gathering support and managing auditor requests

  • Strong understanding of GAAP and general accounting principles

  • Hands-on experience with:

  • Month-end close

  • Journal entries

  • Account reconciliations

  • Financial reporting

  • General ledger accounting

  • Advanced Excel skills

  • Strong communication skills and the ability to work cross-functionally with operations and leadership

Nice to Have

  • Manufacturing experience

  • Sage ERP experience

  • Audit support experience

  • Multi-site accounting experience

Why This Role Stands Out

  • High visibility within a lean finance organization

  • Direct exposure to the Controller, Assistant Controller, and CFO

  • Broad ownership across multiple facilities

  • Strong onboarding and knowledge transfer plan already in place

  • Stable manufacturing environment with a collaborative culture

  • One remote day per week after training

Compensation & Benefits

  • Performance-based bonus opportunities

  • Medical, dental, and vision benefits

  • Two weeks PTO
