- Analyze inventory and manufacturing variances, partnering with operations to understand and resolve discrepancies.
- Maintain fixed asset records and depreciation schedules, and identify opportunities to improve accounting processes and controls.
- Present monthly financial results versus budget (BvA) and trend analysis to leadership, and participate in recurring leadership meetings.
- Support insurance audits, tax requests, and other external reporting requirements.
- Lead the annual budgeting process, prepare the year-end tax package for the external accounting firm, and support other year-end compliance tasks (e.g., 1099 oversight, insurance renewals, workers' comp audits).
- Collaborate cross-functionally with Operations, Sales, and other departments to resolve accounting and financial issues.
What You Bring
- Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, or a related field.

- Strong understanding of GAAP, general ledger accounting, and inventory/cost accounting principles.
- Hands-on experience with month-end close and account reconciliations.
- Strong Excel skills, including pivot tables, lookups, and financial analysis.
