Accounting Manager

Flex HR•Denver, CO

13d•$85,000 - $95,000•Onsite

About The Position

Greenfield Milling is seeking an Accounting Manager to join its finance team. The team is working on broader financial cleanup and general day-to-day accounting work. This is a hands-on role where the company is specifically looking for someone who will actively execute accounting work day-to-day, not operate in a purely managerial capacity. There is significant room for growth into a people-management role as the function matures and the team builds out, along with a high degree of flexibility in how the role develops over time.

Requirements

Prior accounting experience in a hands-on capacity; comfortable personally executing detailed accounting work rather than only overseeing it.
Solid understanding of GAAP and core accounting principles, including month-end close, reconciliations, and journal entries.
Experience with ERP/accounting software (e.g., QuickBooks, SAP, Oracle, NetSuite, or similar).
Strong Excel skills and comfort working with financial data and reports.
A proactive communicator who asks questions and raises issues early, rather than waiting to be told.
Comfortable working under a direct, strong-personality leadership style, and receptive to structured feedback and assessment tools (the organization uses the Predictive Index).
Ability to manage multiple priorities and deadlines in a fast-paced, evolving environment.
Demonstrated discretion in handling confidential financial information.
Available to start quickly.

Nice To Haves

Milling or manufacturing industry systems experience is a plus.
Experience supporting or participating in a financial cleanup, system implementation, or process-standardization effort is a plus.
Formal accounting credentials (CPA, CMA, or similar) are a nice-to-have, not required.

Responsibilities

Perform hands-on accounting work in direct support of the team's ongoing cleanup and process-improvement initiatives.
Lead the monthly financial close process, including reconciling balance sheet accounts and preparing journal entries.
Own day-to-day management of one or more accounting functions as assigned, e.g., (accounts payable, accounts receivable, general ledger) to ensure accuracy and compliance.
Review and help correct historical account discrepancies as part of the company's broader financial cleanup effort.
Partner closely with the current team and communicate proactively — asking clarifying questions and surfacing issues.
Analyze financial data and prepare reports to support decision-making and leadership updates.
Assist with documenting and standardizing accounting policies, procedures, and internal controls.
Assist with external auditors, tax professionals, or outside accountants as needed.
Support budgeting, forecasting, and variance analysis in coordination with company financial planning.
Support ERP/accounting system usage and data integrity and help identify opportunities to improve or automate manual processes.
Assist with payroll-related accounting entries and reconciliations as needed.
