PrideStaff Financial is seeking a resilient, high-levelAccountant to take full ownership of financial operations for anestablished client who manufacturers of high-quality body armor and uniforms. This is a total team of 40 employees in a fast-paced manufacturing environment, so client needs a "pro" who doesn’t need a manual to get started.
This is a solo accounting role. You will be the engine behind the desk, picking up the torch from a departing owner to ensure our financial health remains rock-solid. If you are someone who enjoys "unraveling the puzzle," improving processes, and managing the full spectrum of accounting without needing hand-holding, we want to talk to you.
Core ResponsibilitiesYou will be responsible for the entire accounting cycle for two entities. While you will have the support of an outside CPA for high-level strategy, the day-to-day execution is 100% yours.
Full-Cycle Accounting: Manage AP, AR, and general ledger maintenance.
Inventory Management: Track and reconcile raw materials and finished goods in a manufacturing context.
Payroll: Process timely and accurate payroll via Paychex.
Banking & Reconciliations: Perform daily bank reconciliations and monthly account reconciliations.
Month-End Close: Execute a clean, timely month-end close and prepare internal financial statements.
Collections & Billings: Manage outgoing invoices and stay on top of collections to maintain healthy cash flow.
Operational Oversight: Review existing workflows and "figure out" the current state of the books to ensure nothing has fallen through the cracks.
Experience: 7+ years of progressive accounting experience, preferably in a manufacturing environment.
Systems: Expert-level proficiency in QuickBooks and Paychex is required.
The "X-Factor": A proven ability to walk into a new environment, audit the current state of affairs, and hit the ground running with minimal supervision.
Education: Bachelor’s degree in Accounting or Finance preferred.
Reliability: This is a critical, in-office position. We need a steady hand who values a consistent M-F schedule.
If you are a self-starter who thrives on autonomy and has the technical "chops" to manage a manufacturing accounting department solo, please submit your resume and a brief cover letter outlining your experience with QuickBooks and inventory management.
Compensation / Pay Rate (Up to): $75,000.00 - $95,000.00
