Description
Senior Plant Accountant
Salary: $90,000 – $110,000
Why This Opportunity Stands Out:
• Clear career path to Accounting Manager and broader corporate opportunities within a growing organization
• High visibility role partnering directly with Plant Leadership, Operations, and Engineering
• Opportunity to own and influence plant financial performance—not just report on it
• Join a stable, global manufacturer with continued expansion following a major merger
• Exposure to advanced ERP systems (SAP, OneStream) and complex manufacturing environments
• Strong leadership team and collaborative plant culture
• Work on impactful initiatives around cost optimization, inventory accuracy, and process improvements
• Comprehensive benefits package including 401(k) match, healthcare, and educational assistance
Key Responsibilities for the Senior Plant Accountant:
• Lead monthly, quarterly, and annual close activities including journal entries, accruals, and reconciliations
• Analyze financial results and deliver actionable insights on variances and performance trends
• Own standard costing processes, including cost rolls and product costing inputs (BOMs, routings, rates)
• Manage inventory accounting, cycle counts, and discrepancy investigations
• Oversee fixed asset accounting including capitalization, depreciation, and asset tracking
• Ensure compliance with SOX, internal controls, and corporate accounting policies
Qualifications for the Senior Plant Accountant:
• Bachelor’s degree in Accounting or Finance
• 7+ years of manufacturing accounting experience with strong cost accounting focus
• Experience with ERP systems (SAP preferred) and financial reporting tools
• Expertise in inventory accounting, variance analysis, and standard costing
