About the company

We are partnering with a fast-growing, PE-backed consumer products company. They have a clear growth plan to cross the $1B mark in the next few years. The company is expanding through both organic growth and acquisitions.

Role focus

The Accounting Manager will play a key role in shaping the finance function during this period of transformation. Reporting directly to the Assistant Corporate Controller, this individual will lead the close and consolidation process, manage multi-entity reporting (including foreign currency), and help standardize financial systems and processes across a growing portfolio of businesses.

What you’ll do

• Lead the monthly close process across multiple business units and ERP systems
• Prepare consolidated financial statements (Balance Sheet, Income Statement, Cash Flow) and quarterly lender reporting
• Partner with FP&A, plant finance, and operations on variance and performance analysis
• Review reconciliations and strengthen internal controls
• Support M&A integration efforts and future system implementations (SAP experience preferred)
• Recommend process improvements, leveraging automation and data tools to streamline reporting

What we’re looking for

• Bachelor’s in Accounting required; CPA and/or MBA a plus
• 5+ years of progressive accounting/finance experience, ideally with exposure to manufacturing or consumer products
• Strong US GAAP and consolidation experience (multi-entity, multi-currency)
• Background in both private and public company settings; preference for hands-on, mid-sized or PE-backed environments rather than only very large corporations
• Ability to thrive in a fast-paced, entrepreneurial setting where processes are being built and improved
