Job Full Description

Position: Plant Accountant – Manufacturing Operations Support

About the Role

We’re partnering with a leading manufacturer to find a sharp, hands-on Plant Accountant who thrives in a production-driven environment. This role is ideal for someone who enjoys blending financial analysis with operational insight—someone who’s just as comfortable on the shop floor as they are behind a spreadsheet.

You’ll serve as the finance lead for the plant, supporting leadership with cost analysis, budgeting, and performance reviews. This is not a siloed office role—it’s embedded in the heartbeat of the operation.

Key Responsibilities

Own and audit financial transactions in alignment with GAAP
Reconcile accounts and support monthly/quarterly/year-end close
Conduct variance analysis and present findings to management
Develop labor and overhead rates for planning and standard costing
Assist with reforecasting and annual budget cycles
Partner with plant teams to improve financial processes and controls
Contribute to policy development and internal audit readiness
Occasional travel (up to 10%) to support cross-site initiatives
Mentor junior staff and promote financial literacy across departments
Champion continuous improvement and safety culture

What We’re Looking For

Bachelor’s degree in Accounting or Accounting Manufacturing Experience
2+ years of accounting experience; manufacturing exposure preferred
Strong tenure history—someone who builds roots, not just resumes
Willingness to engage with operations and get involved on the floor
Self-starter with a proactive mindset and ability to work independently
Comfortable pushing back and leading financial conversations at the plant level
Strong multitasking and organizational skills
Collaborative spirit with coaching ability

Compensation & Perks

Salary range: $63,000–$73,000 (flexible based on experience)
Annual bonus target: up to 12%
401K: 4% match plus 2% profit sharing (vesting over 3–5 years)
Vacation: 2 weeks initially, increases to 3 weeks after 5 years
10 paid holidays
Medical, dental, and vision insurance
PTO and wellness program
On-site doctor/appointment scheduling available
Some flexibility for remote work when needed
