Our client is a leading manufacturer of premium aluminum trailers, producing thousands annually in its Iowa facilities. With over 310,000 square feet of operations and a workforce of more than 400 employees, they deliver high-quality trailers through a network of over 100 dealers across the United States and Canada.

Role Description
 
This is a full-time, on-site role at their Cresco, IA location. (Relocation sign-on bonus available for those willing to move closer to Cresco.) You will be responsible for preparing and analyzing financial statements, managing cost accounting processes, reconciling accounts, and maintaining accurate financial data. Responsibilities include performing journal entries, developing and monitoring budgets, analyzing cost data to support financial decision-making, and providing recommendations for cost control and efficiency improvements.  Strong focus on navigating custom code in the system and identifying process improvements and opportunities for automation.  Currently 50% of the custom reports are pulled manually and the goal is for you to automate these processes – addressing the heavy reliance on manual processes and non-automated reporting. There will be heavy utilization and optimization of Epicor as the ERP since current updates to the system can’t be used because of the over-reliance on manual processes.
