Description
The Opportunity
Are you a detail-oriented accounting professional who thrives in a fast-paced manufacturing environment? We are looking for a Staff Accountant to join our team, supporting two of our premier brands: CV-Tek and RapidVisionPak.
In this role, you will hold shared responsibility for the accounting and reporting functions, ensuring our financial integrity remains rock-solid. As a subsidiary of Middleby Corp., we operate under strict month-end deadlines; if you are someone who takes pride in meeting tight windows and delivering high-quality work without constant supervision, you’ll fit right in.
Key Responsibilities
You will be a "hands-on" contributor across all general accounting functions, with a heavy emphasis on inventory and revenue recognition.
Financial Reporting: Execute the monthly general ledger close and prepare financial results for the President and Corporate Accounting.
Revenue & Inventory: Calculate project revenue using Percentage of Completion (POC), manage inventory reconciliations (Raw Materials, WIP, Finished Goods), and maintain the integrity of inventory costs.
Forecasting: Prepare monthly financial forecasts, analyze trends/run rates, and meet with department leads to review budget vs. actual spend.
Operational Support: Maintain fixed asset/depreciation records, manage sales tax filings, and assist in AP/AR as needed.
Audit & Systems: Act as a key contributor during internal/external audits and participate in ERP system projects.
Physical Inventory: Lead the planning and execution of the annual physical inventory count.
What You Bring to the Table
We are looking for a proactive problem-solver who can pivot quickly when priorities shift.
Education: Bachelor’s Degree in Accounting (Required).
Experience: Minimum of 2 years in a staff accounting role, preferably within a manufacturing setting.
Technical Skills: * Advanced proficiency in Microsoft Excel (pivot tables, VLOOKUPs, etc.).
Aptitude for mainframe software; experience with Infor CloudSuite/Syteline is a significant plus.
Attributes: * Strong understanding of GAAP, specifically reserves (bad debt, warranty, obsolescence).
Ability to communicate complex financial data effectively to non-accounting stakeholders.
A "deadline-driven" mindset—longer hours are required periodically during month-end or year-end closes.
Why Join Us?
This is a high-visibility role where your analysis directly impacts the bottom line. You will have the opportunity to search out cost-savings, influence departmental budgets, and grow your career within the larger Middleby Corporation ecosystem.
