Manage accounts payable activities, including invoice review, vendor payments, ACH transactions, wire transfers, and expense reimbursements.

Partner with procurement and operations teams to strengthen purchasing and procure-to-pay processes.

Maintain fixed asset records, depreciation schedules, construction-in-progress accounting, and project costing.

Support tax reporting, year-end activities, revenue recognition, and accounts receivable functions as needed.

Identify opportunities to streamline accounting processes, strengthen internal controls, and improve reporting accuracy.

Qualifications

Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, or a related field.

Strong experience in a Senior Accountant or similar accounting role.

Inventory accounting experience is highly desirable, including inventory valuation, cost accounting, and inventory reconciliations.

Strong understanding of U.S. GAAP and the month-end/year-end close process.

Advanced general ledger, journal entry, and account reconciliation skills.

Experience with fixed assets, accounts payable, and financial reporting.

Strong Excel skills and experience working with ERP/accounting systems.

Excellent analytical, organizational, and problem-solving abilities.

Ability to work independently while partnering effectively with operations and leadership.
