Senior Accountant

accounting and operational finance processes. This role goes beyond traditional accounting responsibilities — it requires a proactive change agent who thrives in environments where processes must be built, optimized, and continuously improved.

This position will lead critical areas including inventory and cost accounting, fixed assets, customer tooling, and financial consolidations. The ideal candidate is intellectually curious, systems-oriented, and energized by identifying inefficiencies and implementing better solutions. Strong critical thinking and the ability to translate data into operational insight are essential.

• Drive accuracy and transparency in inventory valuation and standard costing.
• Analyze and explain production variances (material, labor, overhead) and collaborate cross-functionally to address root causes.
• Improve processes related to receipts, backflush transactions, adjustments, and cycle counts.
• Reconcile inventory subledger to general ledger and enhance reconciliation efficiency.
• Identify opportunities to improve costing methodologies, reporting visibility, and operational decision support.

• Lead fixed asset lifecycle management, including capitalization policies and depreciation accuracy.
• Oversee accounting for customer and company-owned tooling, including amortization and billing considerations.
• Improve capital tracking processes and strengthen internal controls.
• Bring structure and visibility to capital and tooling reporting.
• Prepare complex journal entries and account reconciliations.
• Support multi-entity consolidations and intercompany activity.
• Enhance month-end close efficiency through automation and improved workflows.
• Assist with audit support and documentation readiness.

• Leverage ERP system capabilities to improve data accuracy, reporting, and process efficiency.
• Identify system and process gaps and design scalable improvements.
• Participate in ERP enhancements and reporting development.
• Document and standardize processes where needed — while continuously improving them.

• A change agent who sees inefficiencies and takes initiative to improve them.
• A systems thinker who understands how operational processes impact financial results.
• A critical thinker who analyzes root causes instead of treating symptoms.
• A self-starter who works independently and takes ownership.
• Comfortable operating in environments that are evolving and require structure-building.
• Naturally curious and quick to learn new systems, processes, and operational drivers.

• Bachelor’s degree in Accounting or Finance.
• 4–8+ years of accounting experience, preferably in a manufacturing environment.
• Strong inventory and cost accounting experience required.
• ERP experience required; system optimization experience strongly preferred.
• Experience with consolidations and intercompany accounting preferred.
• Advanced Excel skills and strong data analysis capability.

• Inventory accuracy improves and variances are proactively managed.
• Cost data becomes more actionable for operations leadership.
• Fixed asset and tooling processes become structured and reliable.
• ERP functionality is better leveraged to reduce manual work.
• Month-end close becomes more predictable and efficient.
• Processes are not only maintained — they are measurably improved.

This is not a “keep the books running” role. It is an opportunity to help modernize and strengthen accounting processes in a growing manufacturing organization. The right candidate will leave systems better than they found them.
