What are the responsibilities and job description for the Senior Accountant position at Alliance Resource Group?
We are partnering with a growing, manufacturing organization to hire a Senior Accountant who will play a critical role in supporting month-end close, multi-entity accounting, and system-driven process improvements.
This position is ideal for an accountant who enjoys owning deliverables, improving processes, and operating in a lean organization where accuracy, accountability, and continuous improvement matter.

• Prepare and post month-end journal entries including accruals, prepaids, fixed assets, inventory adjustments, and intercompany entries
• Perform monthly balance sheet reconciliations and investigate discrepancies
• Support the month-end close calendar and checklist execution
• Assist in maintaining clean, audit-ready schedules and documentation
• Support multi-entity accounting, intercompany tie-outs, and consolidation support
• Partner with operations and manufacturing teams on inventory, cost accounting, and margin analysis
• Assist in system enhancements, ERP improvements, and reporting automation initiatives
• Participate in cleanup projects, including correcting legacy issues and improving reconciliation discipline
• Support cash management, bank reconciliations, and credit card reconciliations
• Assist with audit requests, tax schedules, and ad hoc reporting projects
• Contribute ideas and recommendations for process improvement and efficiency
What We’re Looking For
• Bachelor’s degree in Accounting or Finance required
• 4–6 years of progressive accounting experience
• Strong hands-on experience with month-end close and reconciliations
• Solid understanding of GAAP and accrual accounting
• Manufacturing or product-based company experience strongly preferred
• Exposure to multi-entity environments and intercompany accounting
• Experience with accounting systems / ERP environments (NetSuite, Sage, Dynamics, QuickBooks, etc.)
• Advanced Excel skills (pivot tables, lookups, reconciliations)
• Comfortable operating in a hands-on, fast-paced, entrepreneurial environment
• Strong sense of ownership, accountability, and attention to detail
• Ability to work independently while collaborating cross-functionally
Ideal Profile
This role is best suited for a Senior Accountant who wants more ownership and exposure than a large corporate environment can provide. Someone who enjoys improving how things work, learning the full business, and contributing beyond transactional accounting will thrive in this position.
