The opportunity
Our client is an established manufacturing company with a long history of success and operations across multiple U.S. locations.
Key responsibilities
Month-end close (primary focus)
Own the monthly close calendar and checklist, and deliver close on schedule
Prepare and post recurring and non-recurring journal entries: accruals, prepaids, allocations, reclasses
Prepare balance sheet reconciliations for all assigned accounts each month, with clear support and timely follow-up on reconciling items
Prepare the trial balance and draft monthly financial statements
Perform flux and variance analysis, and explain significant movements to management
Fixed assets
Maintain the fixed asset register: additions, disposals, transfers, construction in progress
Calculate and record monthly depreciation, and reconcile the fixed asset subledger to the general ledger
Apply the company capitalization policy and flag items that need review
Controls, audit and process
Maintain documentation for close procedures and reconciliations
Prepare schedules and respond to requests for the annual audit or review, tax preparers and lenders
Find and implement improvements to make the close faster and more accurate
Handle ad hoc analysis and projects as assigned
Growth responsibilities (developed over 12–18 months)
After the close is running smoothly, you will take on these areas step by step. Each one starts with assisting, then preparing the work for management review, then owning it.
Ownership consolidation: Prepare the consolidated reporting package for ownership, including intercompany reconciliations and eliminations
Lender reporting: Prepare monthly and quarterly lender packages, covenant calculations, compliance certificates and borrowing base reports
Cash forecasting: Maintain and update the weekly and monthly cash forecast. Track forecast-to-actual variances and refine the assumptions behind them.
Ideal profile
Strong working knowledge of US GAAP, accruals, reconciliations and fixed asset accounting
Experience with Infor CSI or a comparable mid-market ERP
Advanced Excel skills: lookups, pivot tables, building and maintaining reconciliation schedules
Public accounting experience (audit), or experience at a manufacturing or distribution company
Exposure to multi-entity consolidation, intercompany accounting or lender and covenant reporting
Experience with cash flow forecasting
Skills and attributes:
Takes ownership: drives the close to completion without being chased
Detail-oriented, and ties numbers out before handing them off
Curious about the business behind the numbers, not just the entries
Communicates clearly with operations, purchasing and outside parties
Wants to grow into broader financial reporting and treasury responsibilities
Bachelor’s degree in Accounting
3–5 years of progressive accounting experience, including hands-on ownership of a full month-end close
CPA, or progress toward a CPA, preferred
Compensation & benefits
Established manufacturing company with a long history of success
Growing organization
Opportunities for career growth across multiple U.S. locations
Collaborative team environment supporting operational excellence
Summary of Position
Our client is looking for a Senior Accountant to own the month-end close from start to finish. The role reports to the Corporate Controller and is the primary preparer of the company’s monthly financials.
In the first year you will run the close independently: journal entries, account reconciliations, fixed assets and depreciation. From there, you will be trained to prepare the ownership consolidation package, lender reporting and the cash forecast for management review. This role suits an accountant who wants a clear path toward Accounting Manager or Assistant Controller.
How to apply
Three ways to start the conversation.
Send your résumé, book a call, or apply straight from the LinkedIn posting. Whichever route you pick, one person handles your application from first reply to offer.
