Reconcile bank accounts and other key balance sheet accounts, research variances, and resolve discrepancies in a timely manner.

Oversee account structure maintenance by establishing new accounts as needed and confirming transactions are recorded to the appropriate ledger categories.

Monitor fixed asset records, including construction in progress, and maintain depreciation schedules to support accurate monthly expense recognition.

Review supporting journals and payment activity for errors, completeness, and proper coding, including invoices, checks, electronic payments, and wire transactions.

Support year-end accounting activities by closing accounts, preparing audit schedules, and assisting with tax return support and external financial statement audits.

Perform analysis related to unbilled revenue, billing summaries, and other recurring monthly accounting items to improve reporting accuracy and completeness. Requirements - Bachelor's degree in Accounting or a closely related discipline.

3-5 years of progressive accounting experience, including full-cycle accounting and month-end close responsibilities.

Strong working knowledge of U.S. GAAP and financial reporting practices.

Experience with general ledger management, account reconciliations, journal entry preparation, and financial statement audit support.

Demonstrated ability to perform financial analysis, budgeting, and forecasting using advanced Excel and other financial systems.

Background in a high-volume, complex manufacturing environment strongly preferred.

Effective communication and collaboration skills, with the ability to work across teams and manage competing deadlines.

Experience with Microsoft Dynamics and exposure to hedge accounting are considered advantageous.
