Job Description & How to Apply Below

Our smaller, but growing family manufacturing client is looking for a Senior Staff Accountant who will own the day-to-day accounting function and serve as the primary accounting resource.

This is a highly visible, hands-on role for someone who enjoys working in a growing entrepreneurial business and wants broad responsibility rather than a specialized accounting position.

* Onsite in West Chicago
* Responsibilities:
  • Own the monthly, quarterly, and annual close process
  • Prepare journal entries, account reconciliations, and maintain the general ledger
  • Prepare monthly financial statements and management reporting
  • Maintain fixed assets and depreciation schedules
  • Identify and implement accounting process improvements
  • Support annual audit and tax preparation
  • Provide backup support for AP/AR as needed
  • Partner directly with ownership on financial reporting and accounting operations
Qualifications:
  • Current or recent Senior Accountant (or similar) experience
  • QB exp would be highly preferred
  • Full ownership of month-end close
  • Strong GL, journal entry, reconciliation, financial statement, balance sheet, and P&L experience
  • Ability to work independently & have strong Excel skills
Why This Opportunity Stands Out:
  • Opportunity to own the accounting function within a growing manufacturing company.
  • Report directly to ownership and have meaningful visibility into the business.
  • Collaborative, no-politics culture where ideas and process improvements are encouraged.
  • Stable, long-term environment with excellent employee retention and benefits.
  • Ability to help build scalable accounting processes as the company continues to grow.
