Partner with plant and operational teams by providing cost history, pricing information, and financial analysis that supports better decision-making.
Contribute to the month-end close process by preparing assigned schedules, completing entries, and helping ensure reporting deadlines are met.
Reconcile general ledger accounts on a regular basis and resolve discrepancies in line with internal accounting practices.
Prepare and post journal entries tied to daily accounting activity as well as monthly financial close requirements.
Compile recurring financial and operational reports, monitor patterns in the data, and summarize findings for leadership review.
Support accounts payable and accounts receivable activities, including invoice processing, billing, collections follow-up, payment handling, and vendor account reconciliation.
Provide administrative and cross-functional support to the facility, including assistance with onboarding, training coordination, communications, and backup coverage for customer service or logistics as needed.
Proven experience in full-cycle accounting, including month-end close, general ledger activity, and account reconciliation.
Strong background in cost accounting within a manufacturing environment.
Ability to prepare and post journal entries accurately and in a timely manner.
Experience analyzing standard versus actual costs, including material, labor, and overhead variances.
Proficiency with bank reconciliations and financial reporting processes.
Effective communication skills with the ability to collaborate across finance, operations, and administrative teams.
Strong attention to detail, organizational ability, and follow-through in a deadline-driven setting.
