Key Responsibilities

• Support and oversee accounting operations for multiple manufacturing sites across North America.
• Own revenue recognition under ASC 606 for long-duration, contract-based manufacturing agreements, including milestone-based, percentage-of-completion, or cost-to-cost revenue models.
• Manage revenue recognition for complex contracts, including contract modifications, change orders, variable consideration, and ongoing reassessment throughout the contract term.
• Partner with operations, engineering, and program teams to understand contract structure, delivery timelines, and financial impact.
• Oversee month-end and year-end close processes, ensuring accurate financial reporting in accordance with GAAP.
• Support budgeting, forecasting, and financial analysis activities across multiple business units.
• Assist with internal and external audits, including preparation of technical accounting support and audit documentation.
• Ensure compliance with internal controls, SOX requirements, and corporate accounting policies.
• Identify and implement process improvements to strengthen controls, reporting accuracy, and scalability.
• Supervise and develop accounting staff across regional locations.

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, or related field.
• CPA license required (active or inactive, with ability to renew).
• 5+ years of progressive accounting or finance experience within a manufacturing environment.
• Demonstrated hands-on ownership of ASC 606 revenue recognition, particularly for long-duration, contract-based arrangements with over-time recognition.
• Experience supporting government, defense, aerospace, infrastructure, or regulated customers, or environments with fixed-price, cost-plus, or milestone-based contracts, strongly preferred.
• Strong understanding of cost accounting, inventory, WIP, and manufacturing financial operations.
• Experience with ERP systems (NetSuite, SAP, Dynamics 365, or similar).
• Proven ability to exercise judgment, defend accounting positions, and partner cross-functionally.
• Strong leadership, communication, and analytical skills.
