About The Position

Our client, a global manufacturer, is seeking an Accounting Specialist to join their team in Suffolk, VA. Reporting directly to the Controller, this role will support a broad range of general accounting functions, including accounts payable, invoicing, and purchase order processing. The company is open to both entry-level candidates with an accounting-focused degree and experienced professionals who may not have a formal degree but bring strong hands-on accounting experience. Ultimately, they’re seeking someone with a solid understanding of GAAP who is eager to expand their skill set and grow within the organization. One of the things that really stands out about this company is its stability and commitment to developing people internally. The current Controller actually started in a junior accounting role and worked his way up over the past 10 years. He’s big on mentorship and genuinely wants to help someone else grow the same way he did. The company is backed by a parent organization with over $150M in revenue and continues to invest in its US operations, so there’s real stability here, along with a clear path to move into a Senior Accountant role down the line.
