Job Summary
The Senior Accountant is an experienced individual contributor who executes the day-to-day accounting operations that make a clean, on-time close possible — owning complex reconciliations, AP/AR oversight, and general ledger accuracy in a fast-paced manufacturing environment. This role is the primary hands-on executor within the close calendar and control framework the Controller establishes, translating standards and deadlines into completed, accurate work.
The Senior Accountant is not responsible for designing the close calendar, controls framework, or reporting cadence, that ownership sits with the Controller. Instead, this role is accountable for flawless execution within that framework, surfacing issues early, and being a technical resource other accounting staff can rely on day to day.
Core Responsibilities
Close Execution:

Execute assigned month-end and year-end close tasks on schedule per the close calendar published by the Controller, including complex journal entries, accruals, and reconciliations
Flag risks to close timing or accuracy early, rather than after the fact
Complete reconciliations for the most complex, higher-risk accounts, with documentation that meets the Controller’s standards without requiring rework
Investigate and resolve variances, escalating root causes the Controller should be aware of

AP / AR Execution:

Serve as the primary point of resolution for day-to-day AP and AR issues (vendor disputes, billing discrepancies, cash application problems)
Ensure subledgers tie out cleanly to the GL each cycle
Provide hands-on backup coverage across AP and AR as volume requires
Maintain Vendor and Customer records with all required documentation, ensuring updates occur only after appropriate review and verification.

Reconciliations & Documentation:

Own timely, accurate, audit-ready reconciliations for assigned accounts
Maintain documentation in the format and standard set by the Controller
Be a resource to less experienced staff on reconciliation technique, without holding formal review/approval authority (that stays with the Controller)

Process & Systems Execution:

Execute process improvements and system optimizations identified by the Controller (D365, Excel-based workflows, etc.), and surface improvement ideas from the ground level
Help maintain SOP documentation for day-to-day workflows, in line with standards the Controller sets
Serve as a go-to technical resource for Staff Accountants on AP, AR, and GL questions

Required Qualifications:

4–6+ years of progressive accounting experience
Deep proficiency in AP, AR, GL, and complex reconciliations
Advanced Microsoft Excel skills (lookups, pivots, advanced analysis)
Comfortable operating within a structured close calendar and control framework set by others
High attention to detail and ability to manage multiple priorities independently

Preferred Qualifications:

Bachelor’s degree in Accounting, Finance, or related field
CPA or CPA-track a plus
Experience in a manufacturing or operational environment
Hands-on experience with D365 or similar ERP
Experience executing (not necessarily designing) a formal close process
