Is this you? BS, 3+ years Accounting experience, CPA, with experience in manufacturing environments? IF YES - want to talk with you asap

Looking for more than another month-end close?

Join a growing manufacturing company where accounting is viewed as a business partner—not just a reporting function.

This is an opportunity for an experienced accountant who enjoys understanding how a business operates, not just how the numbers tie out. You'll work closely with leadership, gain exposure to budgeting, audits, fixed assets, manufacturing cost structures, and financial analysis, while helping drive the accuracy and integrity of the company's financial operations.

If you're looking for a stable organization, a collaborative culture, and a role where you can continue to grow professionally, we'd like to talk.

What You'll Be Doing

• Own key areas of the monthly close process, including reconciliations, journal entries, financial analysis, and reporting

• Help ensure accurate and timely financial statements and month-end reporting

• Support budgeting, forecasting, and annual planning activities

• Manage fixed assets, depreciation schedules, and capital project accounting

• Partner with operations, maintenance, and other departments to support business objectives

• Assist with annual audits and tax-related requests

• Contribute ideas to improve accounting processes, controls, and reporting efficiency

What We're Looking For

• CPA (or able to sit for exam within 6-12 months)

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

• Experience in manufacturing, industrial distribution, or public accounting serving manufacturing/distribution clients

• Strong understanding of financial reporting, general ledger accounting, and month-end close

• Ability to work independently, manage multiple priorities, and solve problems

• Desire to continue growing professionally and advance within an organization

Permanent US work authorization required

Location or Relocation to: Central Illinois - 2 hours South of Chicago

Why This Opportunity?

• Established and growing company

• Broad exposure across accounting and finance functions

• Direct impact on business performance and decision-making

• Opportunity to build a long-term career, not just fill a position

• Strong benefits package including medical, dental, vision, 401(k) match, paid time off, and company-paid life insurance

If you're an accountant who wants to understand the business behind the numbers and be part of a team that values accuracy, accountability, and continuous improvement, we'd welcome a conversation. Send us your details !

Full Benefits: M, D, V, ADD, 401K......
