Corporate Accountant

Chief Financial Officer (CFO)

We are a leading consumer goods organization seeking a Corporate Accountant who functions as much more than a traditional numbers-driller. This is a high‑visibility role at our Fort Wayne headquarters, designed for a professional who acts as a Financial Business Partner across the entire enterprise.

• Financial Advisory: Serve as a dedicated resource for department heads, using business acumen to translate financial data into actionable strategies.
• Enterprise Analysis: Conduct thorough financial analyses of business operations to identify efficiencies, risks, and growth opportunities.
• Strategic Support: Assist the CFO in setting the strategic direction for the accounting department and the broader financial health of the organization.

• Presentation of Findings: Confidently present financial results and strategic recommendations directly to the Executive Leadership Team.
• Financial Storytelling: Take ownership of accurate, timely financial reporting, ensuring that complex data is communicated clearly to senior stakeholders.
• Ownership: Act as the primary point of contact for financial inquiries related to corporate performance and enterprise‑wide initiatives.

• Financial Close: Lead and support critical phases of the monthly and annual financial close processes.
• Risk Management: Support and strengthen internal controls, risk management frameworks, and compliance efforts to protect the organization’s assets.
• Process Improvement: Identify and implement enhancements to accounting workflows to increase speed and accuracy.

• The "Business Partner" Mindset: You are a proactive problem‑solver who enjoys collaborating with cross‑functional teams to drive results.
• Executive Presence: You possess the confidence and communication skills to engage with C‑suite leadership and defend your financial findings.
• Technical Mastery: You have a rock‑solid foundation in GAAP and corporate accounting, with the ability to see the "big picture" beyond the numbers.
• Industry Savvy: Experience in the consumer goods or retail space is highly preferred, as you understand the nuances of a high‑volume product environment.

• Education: Bachelor’s degree in Accounting or Finance (CPA or MBA is a plus).
• Experience: 5‑8 years of progressive accounting or finance experience, with a focus on corporate reporting and analysis.
• Communication: Exceptional verbal and written communication skills, specifically in a corporate or executive setting.
• Tech‑Savvy: Advanced proficiency in Excel and experience with large‑scale ERP systems (e.g., SAP, Oracle, Net Suite).

This position offers a rare level of visibility and influence without the requirement of managing direct reports. You will have a "seat at the table" with the CFO, contributing to the success of a major player in the consumer goods space while sharpening your skills as a strategic financial leader.
