  • Manage assigned portions of the close checklist to ensure timely and accurate completion.
  • Verify that financial results are complete, accurate, and ready for leadership review.

Balance Sheet Management

  • Own specific balance sheet accounts and prepare supporting reconciliations (cash, prepaids, accruals, fixed assets, clearing accounts).
  • Maintain cash reconciliations and support short-term cash visibility.
  • Identify, investigate, and resolve reconciliation differences quickly.
  • Escalate outstanding items with clear explanations and recommended solutions.
  • Ensure account support aligns with internal control and audit standards.

Fixed Assets & Capital Projects

  • Oversee fixed asset accounting, including additions, retirements, depreciation, and related reconciliations.
  • Partner with Operations to validate capitalization, asset readiness, and useful life assumptions.
  • Maintain accurate asset schedules and audit-ready documentation.

Expense Monitoring & Budget Support

  • Review operating expenses, including spend tied to facility changes or project‑related costs.
  • Produce monthly budget‑vs‑actual reporting with meaningful variance commentary.
  • Share spend reports with budget owners and assist with follow‑up questions.
  • Collaborate cross‑functionally to:
    • Identify one‑time and non‑recurring costs
    • Prevent charges tied to closed or transitioned facilities
    • Ensure proper classification of restructuring, add‑backs, and non-operating costs
  • Flag material or recurring variances to Finance leadership with clear insights.

Credit Card Program Oversight

  • Review card transactions for accuracy and policy compliance.
  • Ensure timely coding and reconciliation of credit card activity.
  • Work with AP and Finance leaders to improve the process, tighten controls, and simplify the user experience.

Issue Management & Judgment

  • Determine which issues to solve independently versus escalate.
  • Proactively call out unusual trends or unexpected balances.
  • Present issues with root cause analysis and recommended actions.

Cross‑Functional Collaboration

  • Partner with Operations, AP, and Finance to resolve issues efficiently.
  • Support process improvements that strengthen the close, reconciliation quality, and documentation.
  • Assist with audit and internal review requests.

FP&A Support

  • Track and report departmental spend vs. budget monthly.
  • Provide accurate close data and explanations to support forecasting and variance analysis.
  • Ensure historical data is clean, documented, and ready for FP&A use.

Qualifications

  • 4+ years of progressive accounting experience (manufacturing, distribution, or PE‑backed environment preferred).
  • Strong experience with month‑end close and balance sheet ownership.
  • Background in fixed asset and capital accounting.
  • Comfortable working independently in a fast‑moving, evolving environment.
  • Experience with modern ERP / AP / expense systems (e.g., NetSuite, Deacom, Ramp, Corpay) is a plus.
