Our client, a national manufacturing corporation, is looking for a Plant Accounting Manager for their headquarters in Western Michigan.
Reporting to the Operations Controller, but with frequent contact and interaction with senior corporate management, this role oversees several important aspects of the company’s plant accounting functions, including reporting, controls, procedures, purchasing, and inventory.
Though this is a plant role, you will also be involved in special projects at the corporate level and assist in coordination of the R&D process for the whole company so there are plenty of opportunities for exposure to other disciplines, skill acquisition, and, for the ambitious candidate, eventual promotion to higher levels of management at the plant or corporate level.
Our client is eager to attract local candidates who have a broad accounting and finance skill set and a solid technical background. They offer an impressive benefits package, including a competitive salary, an excellent work/life balance (little to no travel is required for this role), and generous paid leave and holidays, with a total package up to $80K.
Responsibilities:
You’ll have direct oversight of the entire A/P function, as well as providing key support for collation of all financial data, reporting, and statements; development of the annual budget and key performance metrics; and the implementation of internal controls.
In addition, you will be an integral team member in the procurement and inventory departments, monitoring the purchasing system, ensuring accuracy of inventory and purchasing financial data via periodic audits, promoting continuous process improvements, and implementing cost reduction strategies across the board to help the company meet and exceed its performance expectations.
Qualifications:
- Bachelors degree in Accounting required.
- CPA preferred.
- Cost Accounting experience required.
- At least 3 years of accounting experience within manufacturing, along with at least 1 year of management-level experience.
- Software: Proficient in Microsoft Office and a background in the use of ERP and MRP systems.
