Columbus, OH

If you've owned the month-end close, enjoy developing people, and want an opportunity to grow into a future Controller position, this could be the role you're looking for!

The Accounting Manager will take ownership of the month-end and year-end close, oversee core accounting operations, develop staff, and help strengthen processes and controls as the company continues to grow through acquisitions.

Key Responsibilities

  • Own the month-end and year-end close process
  • Manage the general ledger and financial reporting activities
  • Review journal entries, account reconciliations, and balance sheet accounts
  • Oversee AP, AR, and fixed asset accounting
  • Lead, coach, and develop accounting team members
  • Drive process improvements, automation, and stronger controls
  • Support acquisition integration and accounting initiatives
  • Partner closely with the Controller to improve efficiency and create capacity within the department

Team Structure

Reporting to the Controller, this individual will oversee:

  • Three accounting team members
  • A future Accounts Receivable hire
  • A future Staff Accountant hire

Ideal Background

We're looking for an accounting leader who has:

  • Personally owned month-end and year-end close processes
  • Strong general ledger, reconciliation, and balance sheet review experience
  • Experience overseeing AP, AR, and fixed assets
  • Proven leadership, coaching, and performance management skills
  • A hands-on approach with the ability to delegate effectively
  • Strong problem-solving skills and process improvement experience
  • Comfort operating in a growing, evolving environment

Strong ERP experience and adaptability are more important than experience with any specific system.
