About the job
Accounting Manager
Salary: $120,000-$140,000
Why This Opportunity Stands Out
Our client is a family-owned, well-established manufacturing organization with more than 125 years of history and a reputation built on innovation, quality, and taking care of its customers. This is an opportunity to step into a key Accounting Manager position where you can have visibility across the organization, work closely with leadership, and make a real impact on the accounting function.
Join a company that has staying power: Our client has been family-owned since its beginnings in 1898 and has continued to grow into an innovative manufacturer serving customers across a variety of industries.
Own the accounting function: This Accounting Manager role gives you meaningful responsibility over the day-to-day accounting operation while partnering with leadership on financial information and business decisions.
Work in a highly innovative environment: Our client has built its reputation around developing new products, polymers, resins, coatings, and chemical solutions—so you aren’t walking into a stagnant manufacturing environment.
Make your mark: This is a hands-on Accounting Manager opportunity where your ideas and expertise can directly improve processes, reporting, and the overall accounting operation.
Be part of a close-knit team: Work for an organization that describes itself as a community and puts a strong emphasis on its employees, innovation, and solving problems for customers.
Room to grow: As the organization continues to evolve, the Accounting Manager will have the opportunity to take on new challenges and expand their impact across the business.
Key Responsibilities
Lead day-to-day accounting operations, including general ledger activity, reconciliations, journal entries, and month-end/year-end close.
Prepare and analyze financial statements and management reports while ensuring accurate and timely financial information.
Oversee accounting processes related to inventory, manufacturing operations, accounts payable, accounts receivable, and other key areas.
Partner with leadership and operational teams to analyze financial results, identify trends, and support business decisions.
Identify opportunities to improve accounting processes, systems, controls, and reporting while taking ownership of special projects and initiatives.
Qualifications
Bachelor’s degree in Accounting, Finance, or a related field.
5+ years of progressive accounting experience, ideally within a manufacturing environment.
Strong knowledge of GAAP, financial reporting, month-end close, reconciliations, and general ledger accounting, with the leadership skills to manage and improve an accounting function.
