Growing Manufacturing Company


Maplewood, MN | Onsite | $100,000–$130,000 + 10% Bonus


Why This Opportunity Stands Out


Looking to take the next step in your accounting career?


We're partnering with a growing manufacturing company seeking a Senior Accountant to join its collaborative finance team. This role offers a unique opportunity to build upon a strong general accounting foundation while gaining valuable experience in inventory and cost accounting.


If you enjoy working in a manufacturing environment and are looking to broaden your skill set, this position provides excellent exposure to both operational and financial accounting, with opportunities to grow as the organization continues to invest in its finance function.


What You'll Be Doing



  • Perform month-end close activities, including journal entries, account reconciliations, and financial reporting

  • Support inventory accounting and help ensure inventory accuracy through cycle counts and analysis

  • Partner with operations to analyze manufacturing costs and inventory-related variances

  • Assist with product costing, standard costing, and new product introductions

  • Help develop and improve costing processes, documentation, and reporting

  • Participate in the annual manufacturing budget and standard cost process

  • Support cross-functional teams through financial analysis and operational reporting

  • Ensure compliance with accounting policies and internal controls

  • Assist with process improvement initiatives as the finance team continues to evolve


What We're Looking For



  • Bachelor's degree in Accounting or Finance

  • 3+ years of accounting experience, preferably within a manufacturing environment

  • Experience with general ledger accounting and month-end close

  • Inventory accounting experience strongly preferred

  • Cost accounting experience is not required—this role offers the opportunity to develop those skills

  • ERP experience (Deacom, SAP, Oracle, NetSuite, Epicor, Microsoft Dynamics, etc.) preferred

  • Strong Excel and analytical skills

  • Self-motivated with a desire to learn, grow, and continuously improve


Why Consider This Opportunity?



  • Opportunity to expand into cost accounting while continuing to build your general accounting experience

  • High level of visibility across finance and operations

  • Collaborative, team-oriented culture

  • Stable, growing manufacturing company

  • Competitive compensation and bonus opportunity

  • Strong long-term career growth potential
