Ownership

We’re looking for an experienced Accounting Manager who’s ready to step into something bigger than a traditional role. This position is built as a Controller-track opportunity for a hands‑on leader who wants real ownership, visibility, and a clear path to expanded financial leadership.

You’ll run day‑to‑day accounting operations while elevating the function—tightening controls, improving reporting, and building audit‑ready financials under U.S. GAAP. Over time, this role will naturally expand into broader oversight of the close process, audits, and financial structure consistent with a Controller‑level position.

If you’re someone who’s been executing at a high level but hasn’t yet been given the reins—this is that opportunity.

• Lead all core accounting functions: AP, AR, payroll coordination, general ledger, reconciliations, and month‑end close
• Ensure financials are accurate, timely, and complete—no surprises
• Act as both a working manager and technical resource across the team
• Maintain clean, reliable data to support decision‑making and growth
• Step in where needed—this is a leadership role, not a “delegate‑only” role

• Build and maintain audit‑ready financials and supporting schedules
• Strengthen internal controls and close discipline
• Prepare for and support external audits as a primary contact
• Partner directly with ownership on financial review and insights
• Gradually take ownership of close oversight, reporting structure, and controls

• Standardize workflows and reduce key‑person dependency
• Improve documentation across all accounting processes
• Identify inefficiencies and implement practical solutions
• Elevate the clarity and usefulness of financial reporting

• Lead, coach, and develop accounting staff
• Set expectations, hold the line on performance, and build accountability
• Foster a team that values accuracy, ownership, and continuous improvement
• Work cross‑functionally to resolve issues with a company‑first mindset

• Strong technical accounting foundation (GAAP)
• Multi‑entity experience is a plus
• Advanced Excel skills—you don’t just use it, you leverage it
• Experience with accounting systems / ERP platforms
• Ability to operate as both a doer and a leader
• Organized, deadline‑driven, and comfortable managing competing priorities
• Clear, confident communicator—especially with ownership
• A proactive mindset—you fix problems instead of working around them

• Bachelor’s degree in Accounting, Finance, or related field
• CPA strongly preferred
• 5–7+ years of progressive accounting experience
• 2+ years in a lead or supervisory role

• Salary: $98,000 – $138,000 annually (exempt)
• Medical, Dental, Vision benefit 100% paid for by employer for employee
• 100% employer‑paid L&I coverage
• Employee Assistance Program (EAP)
• Paid Sick Leave: 1 hour per 40 hours worked
• Stable, team‑oriented environment with long‑term growth potential

Hybrid role (primarily remote) with ability to report to:

• Mount Vernon (HQ): 13084 Ball Road
• Bellingham: 885 E Bakerview Rd.

Must be able to be onsite within 24 hours when needed. This means you need to be local to the area.

Note:

Both locations are active construction & demolition recycling site. Expect truck traffic, dust, and noise in that environment.
