Job Description

Join us as a General Ledger and Cost Accountant and help safeguard the accuracy of our books while shaping the financial backbone of a scaling company. Your work will reinforce reliable reporting, strengthen internal controls, and support forecasting and analysis as we grow.

A day in this role

In the morning, you might reconcile balance sheet accounts and validate entries posted by team members, ensuring coding and documentation flow correctly from cross-functional partners. As the day progresses, you’ll prepare journal entries and accruals for the monthly close, assist with budgeting, and dig into job costing to answer project-level questions. When needed, you’ll jump in to back up Accounts Payable—processing invoices, generating AP reports, and preparing payments—while maintaining strict confidentiality of all financial data.

What you’ll tackle

  • Reconcile balance sheet accounts each month and maintain clean, well-documented schedules.
  • Complete month-end, quarter-end, and year-end close activities with timely, accurate journal entries and accruals.
  • Assist with monthly budgeting and contribute to forecasting and analysis initiatives.
  • Provide backup for Accounts Payable: invoice processing, AP report generation, and payment preparation.
  • Maintain and update general ledger accounts; ensure consistent accounting practices and data integrity.
  • Review and validate transactions entered by others for accuracy and compliance with U.S. GAAP fundamentals.
  • Partner with cross-functional teams to ensure proper coding, documentation, and seamless financial data flow.
  • Perform job costing analysis and respond to project-level financial inquiries.
  • Protect sensitive information and uphold strong internal controls at all times.

Tools and environment

  • QuickBooks Desktop experience preferred; comfort with ERP or major accounting systems is important.
  • Advanced Excel skills for reconciliation, variance analysis, and modeling.

What you bring

  • Bachelor’s degree in Accounting, Finance, or a related field.
  • 3+ years of hands-on accounting experience.
  • Solid understanding of U.S. GAAP.
  • Manufacturing or project-based accounting experience is a plus.
  • Attention to detail, collaborative mindset, and drive for continuous improvement.

If you’re motivated by precision and impact, this role offers a chance to elevate our financial integrity while advancing your career.
