Senior Accountant

Why This Role

MPE is growing, and our finance team is at the center of that growth. We are seeking a Senior Accountant who is eager to build ownership early in their career. The ideal candidate should be excited about shaping how we use automation, AI, and process improvement to modernize accounting operations. This role is suitable for someone with 1–3 years of experience, whether from Big 4 audit, internships in audit/finance/credit/collections, or early-career accounting roles.

What You'll Do

• Close & General Ledger
• Support month-end close, including account reconciliations, journal entries, and resolving discrepancies
• Maintain the general ledger and catch/correct posting errors in our ERP (IFS)
• AR, AP & Collections
• Support the invoicing and accounts payable process, ensuring accuracy and timely payments
• Aid in collections efforts and develop better reporting to reduce overdue accounts
• Cash & Reporting
• Manage companywide cash and credit card reconciliations
• Support cash forecasting and financial statement preparation
• Pull together data on sales, production, and costs to identify trends and opportunities
• Process Improvement & Systems
• Collaborate with the team to improve AR/AP workflows using Excel automation, IFS, and AI tools
• Bring fresh ideas to the table, thinking about manual processes and finding ways to automate and improve them
• Cost Accounting & Compliance
• Support cost accounting activities such as standard costing and inventory valuation
• Prepare documentation for external audits and support internal controls
• Gain knowledge on key areas like prepaid expenses, fixed assets, and lease liabilities, with the potential to take on more responsibility over time

What You Bring

• Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, or a related field
• 1–3 years of relevant experience (Big 4 audit, internships in audit/finance/credit/collections, or early-career accounting roles)
• Comfort with Excel; ERP experience (IFS or similar) is a plus but not required
• Curiosity about how AI and automation can improve accounting workflows
• A strong attention to detail and genuine interest in understanding the "why" behind the numbers, not just the "how"
• A collaborative mindset — you will work closely with Sales, Operations, and Customer Service
