Overview:

This Accounting Manager role is designed for a hands?on accounting leader who can step into a fast?moving, operationally complex manufacturing environment and immediately take ownership of the close.

Minimum Qualifications:

Prior experience owning the close in a complex accounting environment Strong technical accounting foundation, including hands?on experience with ASC 606 and ASC 842 Ability to independently review journal entries, reconciliations, and financials Comfortable operating in fast?paced, minimally structured organizations

Preferred Qualifications:

Experience supporting manufacturing or operationally driven accounting environments Exposure to cost allocations, project?based work, or multi?stream accounting Background working through periods of change Determining compensation for this role (and others) at Vaco/Highspring depends upon a wide array of factors including but not limited to the individual's skill sets, experience and training, licensure and certifications, office location and other geographic considerations, as well as other business and organizational needs.
