Senior Accountant

MPE is growing, and our finance team is right at the center of that growth. We're looking for a Senior Accountant who's ready to build real ownership early in their career — someone who wants more than data entry and closing checklists, and is excited to shape how we use automation, AI, and process improvement to modernize accounting operations.

This is a great fit for someone 1–3 years into their career — whether that's Big 4 audit experience, a mix of internships across audit/finance/credit/collections, or early accounting roles — who's looking for a place to grow into a broader accounting or finance leadership path. You'll get exposure across the full accounting function (GL, AR/AP, cash, cost accounting, audit) rather than being boxed into one lane, plus direct mentorship from our Controller.

• Support month-end close, including account reconciliations, journal entries, and resolving discrepancies
• Help maintain the general ledger and catch/correct posting errors in our ERP (IFS)

• Support the invoicing and accounts payable process, helping ensure accuracy and timely payments
• Assist with collections efforts and help build better reporting to reduce overdue accounts
• Contribute to the quarterly analysis of the allowance for doubtful accounts

• Help manage company wide cash and credit card reconciliations
• Support cash forecasting and financial statement preparation
• Pull together data on sales, production, and costs to help the team spot trends and opportunities

• Work with the team to improve AR/AP workflows using Excel automation, IFS, and AI tools
• Bring fresh ideas to the table — we want people who see a manual process and think "there's a better way"

• Support cost accounting activities like standard costing and inventory valuation
• Help prepare documentation for external audits and support internal controls
• Learn the ropes on key accounts like prepaid expenses, fixed assets, and lease liabilities, with room to take on more ownership over time

• Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, or related field
• 1–3 years of relevant experience — Big 4 audit, internships in audit/finance/credit/collections, or early-career accounting roles all count
• Comfort with Excel; ERP experience (IFS or similar) a plus but not required
• Curiosity about how AI and automation can improve accounting workflows
• Strong attention to detail and a genuine interest in learning the "why" behind the numbers, not just the "how"
• A collaborative mindset — you'll work closely with Sales, Operations, and Customer Service, not just sit behind a spreadsheet
