About the Role
Reporting directly to business leadership, you will oversee the full accounting function while supporting operational and strategic decision-making. This role offers broad ownership across finance, with the opportunity to enhance reporting, strengthen internal processes, and improve systems over time. You'll inherit a stable accounting environment with an established foundation, allowing you to focus on adding value rather than rebuilding existing processes.
What You'll Do
- Lead the full-cycle accounting function, including month-end and year-end close activities
- Prepare and review financial statements, management reports, and financial analysis to support business decisions
- Oversee accounts payable, accounts receivable, payroll, bank reconciliations, and general accounting operations
- Monitor job costing and production-related financial performance to ensure accurate reporting and profitability analysis
- Partner with business leaders to provide financial insights that support operational and strategic initiatives
- Develop and improve accounting policies, internal controls, and standardized procedures
- Identify opportunities to streamline workflows through process improvements and system enhancements
- Support ERP optimization and finance-related technology initiatives
- Mentor and support members of the accounting team while promoting accountability and continuous improvement
- Collaborate closely with leadership on business planning, operational performance, and long-term growth initiatives
What You Bring
- CPA designation is preferred
- Strong experience in full-cycle accounting within a manufacturing, construction, industrial, or other operational environment
- Proven experience preparing financial statements and managing the accounting function from start to finish
- Solid understanding of job costing, inventory, and production accounting is considered an asset
- Experience improving financial processes, controls, and reporting
- Familiarity with ERP systems; experience with manufacturing ERP platforms is beneficial but not required
- Strong communication and relationship-building skills with the ability to partner effectively with operational leaders
- A self-motivated, hands-on approach with the ability to work independently and take ownership of results
Why Join
This is an opportunity to step into a highly visible leadership role where your work will directly influence the success of the business. You'll enjoy broad responsibilities, close collaboration with ownership, and the autonomy to improve systems, reporting, and processes without inheriting a major turnaround project. The organization values long-term growth, continuous improvement, and provides a supportive transition that allows you to build on an already solid foundation.
