Reporting to the Corporate Controller, the Senior Accountant joins a finance function in the middle of a significant modernization.

The Sr. Accountant has primary responsibility for inventory accounting and the implementation and management of reconciliation processes. The Sr. Accountant maintains functional leadership for month-end close, financial reporting, and other key accounting areas. Reporting to the Corporate Controller, the Sr. Accountant must operate with a high degree of independence and serve as a key point of collaboration across departments.
