About the Opportunity

We are seeking a Senior Manufacturing Accountant to join a stable, growth-focused organization within the manufacturing space. This is a hands‑on role offering strong exposure to operations, leadership, and an upcoming ERP implementation—ideal for someone who enjoys owning processes and making a direct impact.

This position is an individual contributor role within the Accounting/Finance team and offers the opportunity to work closely with leadership while gaining deep visibility into manufacturing operations.

Key Responsibilities
  • Lead and own month‑end close processes
  • Prepare and post journal entries and perform account reconciliations
  • Track and analyze inventory costs
  • Perform variance analysis across operations and financials
  • Support percentage‑of‑completion (POC) revenue recognition
  • Assist with audit preparation and support
  • Participate in ERP system implementation and improvements
Required Qualifications
  • Bachelor’s degree in Accounting
  • 3+ years of accounting experience (manufacturing environment required)
  • Strong experience with:
  • Month‑end close ownership
  • Inventory costing and variance analysis
  • Advanced Excel (Pivot Tables, VLOOKUP/XLOOKUP)
  • POC revenue recognition exposure
  • Experience working within ERP systems and General Ledger environments
Preferred Qualifications
  • Cost accounting background
  • Project accounting exposure
What We’re Looking For
  • Detail‑oriented and highly organized
  • Self‑starter who thrives with minimal supervision
  • Ability to reprioritize quickly in a fast‑paced environment
  • Hands‑on and willing to dig into the details
  • High level of confidentiality and integrity
What You’ll Gain
  • Strong stability and consistent growth environment
  • Exposure to ERP implementation (great resume builder)
  • High visibility within a manufacturing operation
  • Backing from a well‑established parent organization
  • Competitive compensation and benefits package
Interview Process
  • Initial Phone/Teams Screen (HR)
  • In‑Person Interview (Leadership Team)
Ideal Background

Candidates coming from:

  • Manufacturing environments (preferred)
  • Mid‑sized manufacturing organizations
What to Avoid

This role is not a fit for candidates with:

  • Pure public accounting backgrounds (no manufacturing exposure)
  • AP/AR‑only experience
  • Highly siloed corporate reporting roles without hands‑on GL work
Apply Today

If you’re looking for a role where you can take ownership, work cross‑functionally, and grow within a stable manufacturing environment, we encourage you to apply!
