Senior Accountant

Are you a Senior Accountant who wants to look beyond the spreadsheet and understand the operations behind the numbers?

We are partnering with a growing Food Manufacturing company to find a Senior Accountant who bridges the gap between Finance and Operations. Reporting to the Financial Controller, this is a hybrid role that combines core financial reporting with high-value cost accounting and inventory analysis.

If you enjoy walking the plant floor, analyzing margins, and using data to drive business decisions, this is the role for you.


Advantages
- Competitive base salary
- Annual bonus
- Health and Dental program
- Support for CPA annual dues
- Free parking, on-site
- Employee discount

Responsibilities
- Own the G/L: Manage the day-to-day accounting cycle, including month-end close, GL accuracy, and balance sheet reconciliations
- Analyze the Costs: Dive deep into standard costing, labor, overhead, and production variances to help the business understand where money is being made (or lost)
- Manage Inventory: Lead inventory reconciliation and valuation, ensuring the numbers match the physical reality of the warehouse
- Drive Decisions: Partner with the Operations and Supply Chain teams to provide gross margin analysis by product and channel
- Improve Systems: act as a key user for the ERP system (Business Central) and champion process improvements

Qualifications
- 3-7 years of accounting experience (Manufacturing or Inventory-heavy industries are a must)
- Strong understanding of Cost Accounting (Standard costing, BOMs, variances)
- Proficiency in Excel (Pivot tables, VLOOKUPs) and ERP systems (Microsoft Business Central is a massive plus)
