About the Role
Dexterity is seeking a Senior Manufacturing Operations Accountant to support our growing manufacturing operations. Reporting to the Controller, this role will own inventory and cost accounting, support financial close activities, and partner closely with Manufacturing, Supply Chain, and Engineering to ensure accurate product costing and financial reporting.
The ideal candidate is a hands-on accounting professional with strong manufacturing experience who thrives in a fast-paced, technology-driven environment.

What You'll Do
Own inventory accounting for raw materials, work in process (WIP), and finished goods, including reconciliations, valuation, and excess and obsolete inventory reserves.
Maintain and validate product costs, including materials, labor, and manufacturing overhead, and review bills of materials (BOMs) and cost rollups.
Analyze manufacturing variances, including purchase price, material usage, labor, and overhead absorption, and partner with operational teams to identify underlying drivers.
Support month-end and year-end close activities, including journal entries, account reconciliations, and analysis of inventory, cost of goods sold (COGS), and manufacturing expenses.
Partner with Manufacturing and Supply Chain to coordinate physical inventory counts, cycle counts, and resolution of inventory discrepancies.
Review inventory transactions and production activity to ensure proper accounting treatment, classification, and cutoff.
Support new product introductions by evaluating cost assumptions and ensuring accurate setup of inventory items, BOMs, and related accounting data.
Maintain strong internal controls, accounting procedures, and documentation while supporting external audits.
Identify opportunities to improve ERP workflows, reporting accuracy, and accounting processes as manufacturing operations scale.
What We're Looking For
Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, or a related field.
5+ years of progressive accounting experience, including substantial hands-on experience in manufacturing cost and inventory accounting.
Strong understanding of U.S. GAAP, particularly inventory valuation, manufacturing costs, and COGS.
Experience with standard costing, manufacturing variance analysis, and month-end close.
Proficiency with ERP systems, including manufacturing and inventory modules.
Advanced Excel skills and the ability to analyze complex financial and operational data.
Strong analytical skills, attention to detail, and ability to manage multiple priorities and deadlines.
Effective communication and collaboration skills, with experience working across Finance, Manufacturing, Supply Chain, and Engineering.
Ability to work independently, take ownership of deliverables, and improve existing processes.
Nice to Have
Experience in robotics, automation, electronics, or complex hardware manufacturing.
Experience supporting new product introductions, contract manufacturing, or scaling production operations.
Experience improving accounting processes, implementing ERP capabilities, or automating financial reporting.
CPA or equivalent professional accounting certification.
