What are the responsibilities and job description for the Staff Accountant position at Great Northern Cabinetry?
The Company
Great Northern Cabinetry is a manufacturer of high-quality custom cabinetry sold through a network of dealers. The company, which started as a small business in 1972, still operates in its original location in Rib Lake, WI. Ownership has experience working for larger, world class companies, and they desire to build a company that has the capabilities of a large company and the atmosphere of a small company.
Great Northern Cabinetry manufactures and sells two lines of cabinetry (face framed and frameless), which are marketed to kitchen and bath dealers, home builders and remodeling contractors. Cabinetry is an $18B segment within the $160B kitchen and bath building products industry. Most of the company's sales are used in single family residential new construction and existing home remodeling projects. With an improving environment for housing related building products, company ownership believes that over the next five years it can develop a sales presence in the entire continental U.S., where today the company reaches about half the country.
Ownership is committed to creating a culture of trust, respect, integrity, and accountability. Culturally, ownership is looking to build a team that buys into three critical operating principles: People and their safety come first; our business is centered around the dealer; and we seek improvement every day. Great Northern Cabinetry is a small company today with ambitions to grow.
