Staff Accountant
Location: Tualatin, OR
Salary: $70,000-85,000

About the Role

This position played a key role within the finance department of a manufacturing and engineering organization. As a Staff Accountant, you will handle general ledger maintenance, month-end closing procedures, and detailed financial statement support. This role balances technical accounting, such as managing fixed asset ledgers and capital expenditure analysis, with hands-on cash management and payroll support.

The team is looking for a self-motivated, grounded professional who carries themselves with a steady energy and thrives in a solutions-oriented environment. If you enjoy a collaborative, "roll-up-your-sleeves" culture where you can take ownership of complex tasks like commission reporting and audit preparation while supporting daily accounting functions, this role offers an excellent path for professional growth.
