· Maintain the fixed asset subledger, including additions, disposals, transfers, retirements, and supporting documentation

· Ensure appropriate capitalization in accordance with company policy; coordinate placed-in-service updates and documentation

· Calculate and record monthly depreciation; reconcile fixed asset subledger to the general ledger

· Support construction-in-progress (CIP) tracking and ensure timely project closeout and classification

· Perform special projects and other duties as assigned


QUALIFICATIONS/POSITION REQUIREMENTS:

· 3+ years of accounting experience with significant exposure to inventory accounting and/or cost accounting

· Bachelor’s degree in accounting, finance, or related field

· Proficiency in Microsoft Office Suite (Excel, Word, etc.); strong Excel skills preferred (pivot tables, lookups, working with large datasets)

· Experience working in an ERP system; ability to learn and navigate new systems quickly

· Comfortable with deadlines and achieving targets or goals, especially during month-end close

· Ability to work independently with strong attention to detail and strong documentation discipline

· Problem-solving and critical-thinking skills with the ability to explain variances clearly and drive resolution
