Senior Accountant

Carrollton, TX | Manufacturing Environment

Be the Financial Partner Behind Smart Operational Decisions

Are you a Senior Accountant who enjoys being close to the business—not just the books? This is an opportunity to step into a highly visible role with a well-established, growing manufacturing company where your financial insight directly supports plant operations, leadership decision-making, and continuous improvement.

In this role, you’ll partner closely with Plant Finance, Operations, and Management, serving as a key contributor to management reporting, variance analysis, capital accounting, and month-end close. You’ll also have the chance to identify operational efficiencies and help shape better financial processes across the organization.

If you’re someone who enjoys digging into data, improving how things work, and being viewed as a trusted business partner, this role offers both challenge and long-term opportunity.

Why This Role Stands Out

• High-visibility position supporting plant leadership and finance management
• True partnership with Operations—not a back-office accounting role
• Exposure to capital projects, fixed assets, forecasting, and product costing
• Opportunity to influence process improvements and operational efficiency
• Stable, well-established manufacturer with continued growth
• Competitive compensation, strong benefits, and career development potential

What You’ll Be Doing

• Prepare recurring management reports, department reporting, and variance analysis
• Support daily, weekly, and monthly operational performance reporting
• Analyze financial results related to assets, liabilities, capital, and operating expenses
• Assist with monthly forecasting and provide insights into current and projected performance
• Prepare narrative explanations that clearly communicate financial trends and results

General Ledger & Month-End Close

• Compile and analyze financial data to prepare accurate journal entries
• Participate in month-end close activities, including balance sheet reconciliations
• Review, investigate, and resolve discrepancies or inconsistencies in financial records
• Support the Controller with reporting, analysis, and ad hoc financial requests

Capital & Fixed Asset Accounting

• Maintain the fixed asset ledger and track projects in progress
• Run monthly depreciation and evaluate assets annually for impairment, retirement, or disposal
• Support capital project setup, spending analysis, and reconciliation
• Make recommendations on asset accounting, reserves, and expenditures

Operational & Compliance Support

• File sales tax returns accurately and on time; maintain related accounts
• Assist with annual budgets, physical inventory, and audit support
• Monitor compliance with GAAP and internal accounting policies
• Serve as a cross-trained resource for product costing setup and maintenance
• Respond to accounting inquiries from internal partners and stakeholders

Process Improvement & Special Projects

• Identify opportunities to improve accounting processes and business operations
• Conduct financial studies and present actionable recommendations
• Support special projects as assigned by leadership

What We’re Looking For

Education & Experience

• Bachelor’s Degree in Accounting
• 3–5+ years of progressive accounting experience
• Strong background in financial analysis and reporting
• Manufacturing or plant-based accounting experience strongly preferred

Technical Skills

• Advanced Excel skills with experience creating detailed reports
• Strong understanding of GAAP and internal controls
• ERP system experience within a manufacturing environment

Credentials

• CPA or CMA (or active candidate) is a plus

What Sets You Apart

• Analytical thinker who enjoys understanding the “why” behind the numbers
• Organized, detail-oriented, and comfortable managing multiple priorities
• Strong communicator who can present financial data clearly to non-financial leaders
• Collaborative team player with a continuous improvement mindset
• High integrity and discretion when handling confidential information
• Self-motivated and able to work effectively with minimal supervision

Why You’ll Thrive Here

This company values collaboration, accountability, integrity, and continuous improvement. Finance is viewed as a strategic partner—not just a reporting function. You’ll have the opportunity to grow your influence, expand your skill set, and build a long-term career within a stable, people-focused organization.
