Robert Half

Job Description

Job Description

This role will oversee core accounting operations and financial reporting for the business. The successful candidate will have 7+ years of progressive general accounting experience within a manufacturing environment, with a strong command of inventory accounting.

Key Responsibilities

  • Manage and execute the monthly, quarterly, and annual close process
  • Prepare and review internal financial statements and supporting schedules
  • Oversee inventory accounting, including costing, reserves, and reconciliations
  • Handle or closely supervise accounts payable and accounts receivable
  • Perform general ledger accounting, journal entries, account reconciliations, and variance analysis
  • Maintain and improve accounting controls, processes, and documentation
  • Support external auditors and year‑end reporting requirements
  • Partner with operations and management to support financial decision‑making

  • 7+ years of general accounting and financial reporting experience within a manufacturing company
  • Required experience with inventory accounting
  • Strong hands‑on background with GL, AP, AR, and close processes
  • Experience at the Accounting Manager or Controller level, depending on scope and company size
  • Solid understanding of GAAP; cost accounting experience is highly preferred
  • ERP or manufacturing accounting system experience strongly preferred

The company offers an excellent benefits package including a generous bonus and pension plan. The company also offers a medical, vision and dental plan and liberal PTO policy.
