Senior Accountant
Location: Vancouver, WA - Fully onsite
Salary: $95,000-115,000


About the Role


This position serves as the operational lead for day-to-day accounting functions at a privately-owned manufacturer. As the Senior Accountant, you will oversee the full accounting cycle, manage the month-end closing process, and lead financial reporting for operations across headquarters and manufacturing facilities. Reporting directly to the Controller, this role combines core general ledger leadership with hands-on cost accounting, job costing, and inventory control.


The organization is looking for a grounded, technically sound leader who carries themselves with a steady energy and thrives in a manufacturing environment. You will partner closely with accounts payable and accounts receivable, maintain internal control frameworks, and support an ongoing NetSuite ERP implementation. It is an exceptional fit for a detail-oriented professional who enjoys cross-functional collaboration with sales, supply chain, and operations teams to align financial reporting with overall business goals.


Key Responsibilities

• Full-Cycle Accounting Leadership: Oversee day-to-day general ledger operations, fixed assets, cash management, banking transactions, and expense allocations.
• Financial Close & Reporting: Manage month-end, quarter-end, and year-end close cycles, preparing journal entries, accruals, tax distributions, and GAAP-compliant financial statements.
• Cost Accounting & Inventory: Review standard costing, analyze material, labor, and overhead variances, perform job-cost allocations, and evaluate gross margin profitability.
• Account Reconciliations & Asset Management: Reconcile key bank statements, balance sheet accounts, and subledgers, while maintaining capital asset, lease, and depreciation schedules.
• Tax & Compliance: Prepare and file local and state sales, excise, and personal property tax returns, ensuring timely payment of all corporate liabilities.
• Systems & Process Improvement: Support the NetSuite ERP implementation, refine transactional coding, strengthen internal controls, and coordinate with external auditors and tax advisors.

Requirements

• Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, or a related field. CPA is a plus but not required.
• 5 or more years of progressive accounting experience, ideally within manufacturing, distribution, or job-costing environments.
• Solid understanding of GAAP, full-cycle accounting, inventory costing, and project-based accounting principles.
• High proficiency in Microsoft Excel and experience managing large datasets.
• Hands-on experience with enterprise software and accounting systems; exposure to QuickBooks or NetSuite is strongly preferred.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills with proven ability to support accounting staff and collaborate cross-functionally.
