Are you a hands‑on accounting leader who thrives on building efficient workflows, solving system puzzles, and developing people? Our client in the Banking Sector is looking for an dynamic, tech‑savvy Accounting Manager to lead our day‑to‑day accounting operations.

Reporting directly to the VP/Controller, you will step into a highly visible role built for a true problem solver. This isn’t a passive, "sit behind a desk" management job—you will actively guide a newly restructured team of five talented accountants, master our data systems, and play a pivotal role in optimizing and automating our department processes.

If you are an extroverted financial professional who loves digging into the numbers as much as mentoring staff, we want to talk to you.

• Lead Month-End Close: Drive, own, and execute a tight, efficient 3-to-5 day month-end close process, ensuring all books are pristine and ready for executive and board review.
• Team Mentorship & Guidance: Actively supervise and mentor a core accounting team of 5 direct reports (Specialists, Staff Accountants, and Senior Accountants). Serve as their technical escalation point, answering questions on GAAP, complex entries, and day-to-day workflows.
• System Optimization & Data Wrangling: Dive deep into our software platforms (including Symitar, Synergy, Avid Xchange). You’ll handle complex data dumps, manage interfaces, troubleshoot issues (like fixing broken Excel Macros), and partner with our Business Intelligence team on Power BI reporting.
• Multi-Unit Allocations: Manage detailed branch and cost-center accounting allocations across our 10 locations.
• Reconciliations & Journal Entries: Maintain strong oversight of the general ledger, reviewing and approving monthly journal entries and up to 300+ GL reconciliations to ensure zero outstanding items over 60 days.
• Audit & Regulatory Prep: Assist the VP/Controller with budgeting, financial statement analysis, and preparing necessary documentation for internal/external audits and regulatory exams.

• Education: Bachelor’s degree in Accounting is required. A CPA or MBA is considered a major plus.
• Experience: Minimum of 5 years of accounting experience with a proven track record in a supervisory or management role.
• Industry Background: 5+ years of banking or credit union experience with exposure to NCUA 5300 Call Reports and regulatory compliance OR extensive corporate background with multi-location/multi-unit allocation experience.
• Technical Superpowers: Advanced proficiency in Microsoft Excel (pivot tables, complex formulas, sorting, filtering, and Macro troubleshooting). Strong comfort level talking to software vendors to fix technical issues.
• Communication Style: An outgoing, collaborative, and confident communicator. You aren't afraid to pick up the phone, contact other departments to resolve GL variances, and maintain an approachable, open-door policy for your team.
