Great benefits and vacation package! We're looking for a sharp, detail-driven individual, who enjoys improving systems as much as crunching numbers. In this role, you’ll have the opportunity to influence financial processes, work cross-functionally, and contribute to a growing company that values both accuracy and efficiency. Key Responsibilities
  • Prepare and analyze financial reports, monitor budget performance, and deliver insights to support operational and strategic decisions.

  • Monitor company cash flow and assist with forecasting and working capital optimization.
  • Maintain internal controls and identify opportunities to improve efficiency, accuracy, and risk mitigation.
  • Assist with the development and refinement of accounting procedures and ERP-related workflows.
  • Contribute to audit readiness by maintaining organized documentation and supporting annual audit processes.

Payroll Accounting
  • Ensure payroll-related entries are correctly posted to the general ledger, including labor allocations, tax liabilities, and benefits.
  • Reconcile payroll data across internal systems and the ERP to ensure financial accuracy.

Fixed Assets & Inventory
  • Maintain and properly classify fixed asset records in the ERP system, ensuring timely updates for acquisitions, transfers, and disposals in compliance with accounting policies.
  • Oversee inventory controls and documentation, including cycle count analysis, reconciliation of variances, and process improvements to ensure data integrity and reduce obsolescence.

Other Duties
  • Provide cross-functional support within the accounting team and assist with ad hoc projects as assigned.

Skills & Qualifications
  • Strong understanding of GAAP and internal control frameworks.
  • Advanced Excel skills (e.g., PivotTables, VLOOKUP/XLOOKUP, data validation, etc.).
  • Excellent attention to detail with a strong analytical and problem-solving mindset.
  • Comfortable in a fast-paced environment with shifting priorities.
  • Prior experience in manufacturing or inventory-centric business is a plus.
