Looking for more than just another accounting job? Join a growing manufacturing company where you’ll own the month-end close, work directly with leadership, and play a key role in the financial success of the business. If you enjoy variety, visibility, and the opportunity to make a real impact, this role it for you!
Staff Accountant
Why This Opportunity Stands Out:
• Take ownership of the accounting function rather than being a small piece of a large corporate team • Gain broad exposure across financial reporting, month-end close, audit support, AR, AP, and operational accounting • Work in a collaborative, team-oriented environment where leadership values ideas, initiative, and process improvement • Stable manufacturing organization with a long-standing reputation • Be part of a close-knit team where everyone contributes and your work directly impacts the success of the company
Target Compensation: 70k-80k
Key Responsibilities for the Staff Accountant:
• Own the general ledger and lead the month-end and year-end close processes • Prepare journal entries, account reconciliations, and financial reporting schedules • Analyze variances, investigate discrepancies, and support management reporting • Serve as a key contact for annual audits, tax support, and year-end reporting requirements • Partner with AR and AP teams to support daily accounting operations and resolve complex issues
Qualifications for the Staff Accountant:
• Bachelor’s degree in Accounting, Finance, or a related field • 2–4 years of progressive accounting experience with month-end close responsibilities • Experience preparing journal entries, reconciliations, financial statements, and audit support schedules • Strong Excel skills; manufacturing and ERP experience are highly valued
