Sr. Accountant
About The Position
Reporting to the Corporate Controller, the Senior Accountant joins a finance function in the middle of a significant modernization. This is not a maintenance role: the Sr. Accountant will own inventory accounting for a precision medical device manufacturer and take ownership of a reconciliation process being built now, with real influence over how it works going forward. The Sr. Accountant has primary responsibility for inventory accounting and the implementation and management of reconciliation processes. The Sr. Accountant maintains functional leadership for month-end close, financial reporting, and other key accounting areas. Reporting to the Corporate Controller, the Sr. Accountant must operate with a high degree of independence and serve as a key point of collaboration across departments.
