  • Own the monthly close process and deliver accurate, timely financial statements
  • Partner with operations to analyze performance, identify cost drivers, and improve profitability
  • Oversee cost accounting, inventory, and production-related financial analysis
  • Lead budgeting, forecasting, and decision-support efforts
  • Ensure strong internal controls, compliance, and audit readiness
  • Manage cash, working capital, and key financial processes
  • Serve as a key member of the leadership team, influencing business decisions and driving results

 

What We’re Looking For

  • Bachelor’s degree in Accounting or Finance
  • 5+ years of progressive accounting or finance experience, preferably in manufacturing
  • Strong understanding of cost accounting, inventory, and operational finance
  • Ability to partner with operations and influence decision-making
  • CPA, CMA, or MBA preferred
  • Experience with ERP systems and strong analytical skills
