Accounting Manager

Accounting Manager
Salary: $90,000-$105,000 + discretionary bonus
Location: Fully onsite in New Milford

Why This Opportunity Stands Out:

• Report directly to the VP of Finance & HR with high visibility into company-wide financial operations
• Own the general ledger and close process end-to-end — real ownership, not a piece of it
• Build supervisory experience managing a Transactional Accountant
• Gain specialized manufacturing accounting exposure — inventory, WIP, and cost of goods sold
• Coordinate directly with outside auditors, tax preparers, and a UK parent company
• Play a key role in improving ERP utilization and accounting processes
• Clear, defined performance measures so you always know how you’re tracking

Key Responsibilities for the Accounting Manager:

• Own the general ledger and month-end/year-end close process
• Prepare monthly financial statements, management reports, and variance analyses
• Oversee accounts payable, accounts receivable, cash application, and collections
• Manage inventory accounting, WIP reconciliation, and cost of goods sold analysis
• Coordinate the annual audit, tax preparation, and outside accountant requests
• Train and supervise the Transactional Accountant

Qualifications for the Accounting Manager:

• Bachelor’s degree in Accounting or Finance preferred
• 5+ years of progressive accounting experience, including close and financial reporting ownership
• Strong knowledge of U.S. GAAP and account reconciliations
• Manufacturing, inventory, and cost accounting experience strongly preferred
