Accounting Supervisor

Location: Fort Worth, Texas


Reports to: Enterprise Financial Controller


Direct/Functional Oversight: Accounts Receivable


Status: Full-time, exempt

Position Summary

The Accounting Supervisor owns the month-end close and the integrity of the balance sheet for NCCO Brand Fulfillment, and leads the accounts receivable workflow. This is the technical accounting seat on site - the person who knows the GAAP answer, can document why it's the right one, and closes the books on time without being chased.

The role works as a peer to the Cost Accountant, who owns inventory, standard cost, and production variances. Together the two cover the full accounting function: cost and inventory on one side, close, balance sheet, and receivables on the other.

This is not an entry-level or assist-level position. We are looking for someone who has already owned a close start to finish and wants to keep doing hands-on technical work while leading a piece of the team.

Key Responsibilities

Month-End Close and Financial Reporting

• Own the month-end close calendar and drive on-time completion of all close activities, excluding inventory and cost accounts (owned by the Cost Accountant)
• Prepare and post journal entries including accruals, prepaids, depreciation, allocations, and intercompany activity
• Prepare monthly financial statements with variance commentary for Controller review
• Maintain and continuously improve the close checklist, including documented procedures for each recurring entry
• Research, document, and apply GAAP treatment for non-routine transactions; serve as the on-site technical accounting resource

Reconciliations and Balance Sheet Integrity

• Own the full balance sheet reconciliation package - monthly reconciliations with supporting detail, aging of reconciling items, and timely resolution
• Perform daily bank reconciliation and cash position reporting
• Complete monthly bank reconciliations for all accounts
• Validate and review transactions posted by Accounts Payable and Accounts Receivable; this role reviews and reconciles rather than originating postings, preserving segregation of duties
• Bank reconciliations are reviewed and approved by the Controller or Accounting Manager

Accounts Receivable Leadership

• Lead the day-to-day AR workflow, including invoicing accuracy, cash application oversight, aging review, and collections cadence
• Set and maintain AR procedures, escalation paths, and credit hold decisions within established policy
• Track and report AR performance measures such as DSO, past-due percentage, and unapplied cash
• Partner with sales and customer service to resolve disputes and short pays
• Escalate credit and write-off decisions to the Controller in accordance with policy
• Process credit applications, assigning credit limits in accordance with policy

Note: this role directs and reviews AR activity; cash application is performed by AR staff.

Budgeting, Analysis, and Projects

• Support annual budget preparation and periodic reforecasts, providing the accounting detail and historical results the process depends on
• Build ROI, payback, and cost-benefit analyses for capital requests and process investments as needed
• Complete ad hoc analysis and reporting requests from operations and corporate finance
• Identify and implement process improvements across the accounting workflow, and document what you build

Business Partnering and Decision Support

• Partner with the General Manager and functional leaders to understand business activity, operating conditions, and the underlying drivers of financial performance
• Review actual-to-budget variances with the responsible leaders and explain not just what changed, but why it changed, whether it is temporary or structural, and what follow-up may be appropriate
• Translate accounting and financial results into practical business information that non-financial leaders can understand and use in decision-making
• Provide accounting and financial support for business decisions while maintaining clear accountability - department leaders continue to own their budgets, their spending, and their operating results

Note: this role interprets and supports; it does not own budget development or enterprise planning, which sit with corporate finance and FP&A.

Backup and Collaboration

• Serve as backup to the Cost Accountant - sufficient working knowledge of standard cost, inventory valuation, WIP, and production variance analysis to cover close-critical items during absence
• Partner with the Cost Accountant, Accounts Payable, and corporate finance to support a consistent multi-entity close

Qualifications

Required

• Bachelor's degree in Accounting
• 5+ years of progressive accounting experience, including full ownership of a month-end close
• Demonstrated technical accounting strength - able to research a treatment, document the position, and defend it
• Hands-on balance sheet and bank reconciliation experience
• ERP experience in a manufacturing or distribution environment
• Advanced Excel (pivot tables, lookups, large data sets)
• Clear written and verbal communication with non-accounting partners

Preferred

• CPA or CMA, or MBA active progress toward one
• Standard costing and inventory accounting exposure
• Prior supervisory or workflow leadership experience, ideally in AR or a transactional function
• Multi-entity and intercompany experience
• Experience in a private equity-owned or recently transacted company
• Experience with Epicor Kinetic

What Success Looks Like

First 90 days - Close is running on your calendar. You know every account on the balance sheet, which ones are clean, and which ones have history in them. AR aging has been walked account by account.

Six months - Close lands on schedule without escalation. The reconciliation package is complete and current, with no unexplained aged items. AR has a documented cadence and measurable movement in past-due balances.

Twelve months - You are the person operations calls with a "can we do this" question before they do it. Close has gotten shorter, the ad hoc analysis requests come to you first, and you can cover the Cost Accountant's critical path when needed.

Working Conditions

Month-end close drives the calendar. Close deliverables take priority during close week, with AR workflow adjusted accordingly.
