CONFIDENTIAL Accounting Manager

We are partnering with a private‑equity‑backed, multi‑entity business in the Houston area that is building and upgrading its finance organization while continuing to grow. The Accounting Manager will own the accounting function, assess current practices, and create better processes, controls, and accountability. Reporting to the Controller, this role offers meaningful exposure to senior leadership and the opportunity to grow as the organization expands.

Responsibilities

• Lead key aspects of the monthly close, including general ledger, reconciliations, journal entries, and account analysis.
• Ensure accurate financial reporting and balance‑sheet integrity.
• Bring strong accounting discipline to an inventory‑based operating environment, including cost accounting and supply‑chain‑related activity.
• Identify gaps, improve processes and controls, and drive greater efficiency and consistency.
• Dig into issues, determine root causes, and propose solutions rather than simply reporting problems.
• Lead and develop staff while assessing capabilities and building a stronger accounting organization.
• Support an evolving, multi‑entity business as continued growth and acquisitions add complexity.

Requirements

• CPA required.
• Bachelor’s degree in Accounting.
• Strong hands‑on accounting foundation with solid GAAP knowledge.
• Experience in distribution, manufacturing, or another inventory‑intensive operating environment.
• Inventory and cost accounting experience, with an understanding of how accounting connects to supply chain and operations.
• Experience leading a close and performing detailed account reconciliations.
• Track record of improving processes, controls, or accounting operations—not merely maintaining them.
• Experience in a private‑equity‑backed, acquisitive, or transformational environment is strongly preferred.
• Confident, entrepreneurial, and willing to roll up sleeves, solve problems, and take ownership.
• Experience developing and leading accounting staff.

Compensation

This role is budgeted for approximately $125,000 base salary plus a 10% bonus.

Schedule

The position is hybrid, with the team together in the office Tuesday through Thursday.
