About the Opportunity

Our client is seeking a hands-on Senior Financial Analyst to join their collaborative finance team, reporting to the Senior Accounting Manager. This role is ideal for someone who enjoys being close to the numbers and the business—owning day-to-day accounting activities while also driving insightful analysis for leadership. You’ll be a key player in the month-end close, product costing, sales and margin reporting, and the ongoing improvement of processes that support a modern ERP environment.

You will partner regularly with operations, sales, and other departments, becoming a go-to resource for explaining results and ensuring data accuracy across the ERP and general ledger. If you thrive in a growing, manufacturing-focused organization where your ideas for efficiency and control improvements are welcomed, this opportunity will give you both breadth and depth in accounting, analysis, and cross-functional exposure.

Key Responsibilities

• Manage full-cycle accounting activities, including day-to-day transaction processing and general ledger maintenance.
• Prepare, review, and post journal entries and maintain related month-end schedules.

• Assist with the consolidated month-end close and preparation of internal financial reporting.
• Perform income statement reviews and actual vs. budget variance analysis; provide clear explanations to management.
• Analyze, investigate, and help resolve accounting and ERP-related issues, including product costing and variances.
• Support and update costing information in the ERP to ensure accurate product cost data.
• Prepare and update sales reporting and analysis on a daily, weekly, and monthly basis as required.
• Compile and prepare commission and rebate calculations and reports for internal and external stakeholders.
• Act as a cross-functional resource to accounts receivable and accounts payable, including employee expense and credit card report processing and coding.
• Partner with department managers and supervisors to understand business drivers behind financial results and address data quality issues in the ERP.
• Contribute to process and efficiency improvements in data collection, reporting, and financial/operational workflows.
• Assist with preparation of year-end working papers for external accountants.
• Support the monitoring of internal controls and adherence to financial policies and procedures.
• Maintain organized, audit-ready accounting records and respond promptly to internal and external information requests.
• Perform administrative and clerical tasks related to finance as required.
• Collaborate professionally with internal and external stakeholders and perform other duties as assigned.
