Senior Accountant II

Own the day-to-day accounting for a complex manufacturing site — inventory, manufacturing costs, labor, fixed assets, capital projects, accruals, and reconciliations.

Prepare journal entries, balance-sheet reconciliations, and variance explanations, and deliver assigned close activities on the monthly, quarterly, and annual calendar.

Support manufacturing cost accounting: standard costs, labor and machine rates, overhead absorption, bills of material, work centers, routings, and work-order review, while analyzing purchase price, usage, efficiency, volume, scrap, and rework variances.

Reconcile inventory subledgers to the general ledger and support cycle counts and physical inventories, including variance analysis, adjustments, and evaluation of excess or obsolete material.

Handle fixed assets and capital projects end to end — capital versus expense determinations, additions, transfers, disposals, depreciation, and timely release of completed projects from construction in progress.

Partner daily with Operations, Supply Chain, Engineering, Quality, and Corporate Accounting to investigate transaction issues, execute controls, support audits, and drive process, master-data, and ERP improvements.
