  • Provide direct supervision, coaching, performance management, and development of AP, AR, and Payroll staff
  • Lead initiatives to streamline workflows, reduce cycle times, and strengthen internal controls
  • Produce and monitor KPI reports (e.g., DSO, DPO, cash flow metrics, AR/AP aging, payroll accuracy)
  • Support ERP system administration (user setup, approvals, workflows)
  • Collaborate cross‑functionally with Operations, HR, Supply Chain, and Sales
  • Respond to ad hoc reporting and business analysis requests
  • Perform other duties as assigned

Qualifications & Experience

  • CPA designation or an equivalent combination of education and experience
  • Minimum 7 years of progressive accounting experience, including 2–3 years in a supervisory or team lead role
  • Hands‑on experience overseeing AP, AR, and Payroll functions
  • Manufacturing environment experience is highly desirable
  • Strong leadership skills with a collaborative, hands‑on management style

  • Proven ability to prioritize, multitask, and meet deadlines
  • High proficiency in Microsoft Office; advanced Excel skills preferred
