Position Overview
The Accountant / Bookkeeper will report directly to the Chief Financial Officer (CFO) and oversee the full cycle of daily transactional accounting.

• Tax Compliance: Prepare, file, and reconcile state sales taxes and Federal Excise Taxes (FET) accurately.
• Expense Tracking: Monitor, categorize, and audit company expenses and credit card statements.
• Reconciliations: Perform monthly reconciliations for all bank accounts, credit cards, and subsidiary ledgers. Also, work with our CPA office on closing out the books monthly and preparing annual reports.
• Manufacturing Support: Track inventory transactions, investigate variances, and support month-end closing activities.

Qualifications & Skills
• Education & Certification: Bachelor's degree in Accounting OR a Certified Bookkeeper (CB) designation.
• Experience: Minimum of 3 years of accounting or full-charge bookkeeping experience, preferably within a manufacturing or industrial environment.
• Systems Experience: Hands-on experience with Acumatica ERP is highly preferred.
• Tax Software: Proficiency with automated sales tax software, specifically Avalara (AvaTax) or similar platforms.
• Tax Knowledge: Direct experience handling multi-state sales tax filings and familiarity with FET is a major plus.
• Technical Skills: Strong Excel skills (Pivots, lookups) for data analysis and reporting.

What We Offer
• Competitive Salary: $65,000 - $85,000 per year (commensurate with skillset and experience level).
• Health Benefits: 100% Employer-paid health insurance (with optional, employee-paid dental and vision coverage plans available).
• Retirement: SIMPLE IRA matching program.
• Schedule: Full-time, traditional in-office schedule at our Leesburg facility.
• Work-Life Balance: Paid time off and holiday pay.
