About The Role

This position serves as the operational lead for day-to-day accounting functions at a privately-owned manufacturer. As the Senior Accountant, you will oversee the full accounting cycle, manage the month-end closing process, and lead financial reporting for operations across headquarters and manufacturing facilities. Reporting directly to the Controller, this role combines core general ledger leadership with hands-on cost accounting, job costing, and inventory control. The organization is looking for a grounded, technically sound leader who carries themselves with a steady energy and thrives in a manufacturing environment. You will partner closely with accounts payable and accounts receivable, maintain internal control frameworks, and support an ongoing NetSuite ERP implementation. It is an exceptional fit for a detail-oriented professional who enjoys cross-functional collaboration with sales, supply chain, and operations teams to align financial reporting with overall business goals.

• Cost Accounting & Inventory: Review standard costing, analyze material, labor, and overhead variances, perform job-cost allocations, and evaluate gross margin profitability.
