Hybrid – Generally 3 Days Onsite

Industry: Manufacturing

We are partnering with a large, established U.S. manufacturer to identify a Staff or Senior Accountant to join its corporate accounting team. The organization operates multiple manufacturing facilities across the United States and supports large-scale commercial, industrial, and infrastructure projects nationwide.

This is a hands-on accounting position with significant exposure to fixed assets, month-end close, balance sheet reconciliations, inventory, revenue recognition, and operational accounting. The individual will work closely with both finance and operations and will have the opportunity to take ownership of increasingly complex areas of the balance sheet.

The position can be structured at either the Staff or Senior Accountant level, depending upon experience. At the Staff level, the role will have a heavier concentration in fixed assets and CAPEX. At the Senior level, responsibilities will expand into broader close ownership, balance sheet reconciliations, technical accounting, and audit support.

• Take ownership of key aspects of the company's fixed asset and CAPEX lifecycle
• Record asset additions, disposals, transfers, impairments, and depreciation
• Maintain and reconcile fixed asset and construction-in-process accounts
• Review maintenance, expense, and capital accounts for potential CAPEX/OPEX misclassifications
• Prepare adjusting journal entries and monthly CAPEX reporting
• Partner with plant personnel and operational stakeholders regarding capital expenditures and capitalization criteria

• Support the monthly, quarterly, and annual close processes
• Prepare and upload journal entries, accruals, and other period-end adjustments
• Perform detailed balance sheet reconciliations, including fixed assets, prepaid expenses, payroll, cash, debt, inventory, and other assigned accounts
• Prepare P&L fluctuation and variance analyses
• Maintain clear, professional work papers and accounting documentation
• Assist management in resolving accounting and financial reporting issues
