This company has scaled from a niche player into an industry leader, and they're known for a genuinely low-turnover, team-first culture — this is a stable, well-run finance operation, not a revolving door. This role sits right next to the Controller as a true right-hand partner — not a transactional or AP/collections seat. You'll be trusted with real ownership over the close process, reconciliations, and financial reporting, with a clear path to influence how the function runs. Note: This search is being conducted confidentially on behalf of our client. Company details will be shared directly with qualified candidates as the process progresses.

Backgrounds in retail, services, or purely transactional accounting will not be a fit. 2+ years of exposure to manufacturing and cost accounting specifically preferred Solid, hands-on Balance Sheet reconciliation skills Strong ERP proficiency and advanced Microsoft Excel skills — IQMS is a significant plus, as this is the system currently in use Experience with Power BI or similar BI/reporting tools Sharp analytical and problem-solving instincts, with the organization and attention to detail to manage multiple priorities under deadline A collaborative, professional, team-oriented approach — this is a close-knit finance team and culture fit matters as much as technical skill Previous experience at an injection molding company is a strong plus, though not required Logistics This is a fully onsite role, 5 days per week — not open to hybrid or remote arrangements Candidates should be able to comfortably commute to the west Atlanta Metro area; those significantly east, north, or south of the city will face a longer commute than the role calls for Additional Job Application Terms This job is part of LinkedIn's Full-Service Hiring beta program.
