• Assist with the implementation and data migration to a new accounting/inventory system
• Partner with production and warehouse teams to improve inventory tracking and reporting
• Provide reporting and insights on cost of goods sold, inventory valuation, and margins
• Support internal and external audit requirements related to inventory and operations
• Lead or assist with ad hoc financial projects and process improvement initiatives

What We’re Looking For:

• 4+ years of hands-on accounting experience in manufacturing or materials-based industries
• Strong knowledge of inventory accounting, journal entries, and monthly close
• Proficiency with Excel and ERP systems
• Detail-oriented, accountable, and comfortable on the warehouse floor when needed

What We offer: 

• Be part of a growing company with real impact on the ground floor
• Work closely with operations and finance leadership
• Strong benefits package: medical, dental, vision, 401(k), PTO
• Competitive pay (based on experience)
