This is a part of a succession planning effort and this new hire will become one of the top decision makers within the organization in a short amount of time! If you're interested in a mid-sized environment, where everyone wears multiple hats, and ultimately everyone has the common goal of achieving company wide success - we'd really like the chance to share more details with you.

Ideally this new hire will be someone that wants to build relationships with employees at all levels and in all capacities; it's a firm belief by the leadership that the more each individual knows about how the company operates, the better shape the company is in. As the company shifts into a new wave of growth opportunities, this individual will be tasked with ensuring they maintain structure & stability even as they adjust some of their processes. Communication skills will also be a major factor in the target candidate for this role; they will want this person eventually to maintain their external tax & audit relationships, sit in on meetings with customers, etc. Qualifications: Bachelor's degree in Accounting (or Finance). CPA is preferred, but not required. 10-15+ years of experience, including ideally some extensive time within the Manufacturing industry. Strong analytical and problem-solving skills.
