This position is responsible for ensuring the accuracy of financial information, managing accounting and administrative personnel, coordinating with our outside accounting firm, supporting compliance initiatives, and providing management with timely financial and operational information.

This is not a traditional public accounting role. We are looking for a business-minded leader who can build processes, develop people, maintain accountability, and ensure the administrative side of the company operates efficiently and effectively.

• Assist with budgeting, forecasting, cash flow reporting, and financial analysis
• Monitor internal controls and improve administrative processes
• Support management with financial and operational reporting
• Coordinate audits, insurance renewals, compliance activities, and business licensing requirements
• Ensure accounting policies and procedures are followed consistently across both locations
• Maintain and support company compliance programs and documentation requirements

Manufacturing Compliance Responsibilities

• Assist with compliance requirements related to OSHA, EPA, DEP, and other applicable regulatory agencies
• Support customer, regulatory, and industry audits
• Maintain records and documentation required for compliance programs
• Coordinate administrative requirements related to CMMC, cybersecurity initiatives, and customer security requirements
• Administer and maintain customer confidentiality agreements, NDAs, and related documentation
• Work with management to ensure policies, procedures, and records remain current and compliant

Qualifications

• Strong leadership, organizational, and communication skills
• Experience supervising employees and managing multiple priorities
• Ability to work independently and solve problems with minimal supervision
• Proficiency with accounting software and Microsoft Excel
• Experience in a manufacturing environment strongly preferred
• Familiarity with regulatory compliance, audits, and documentation requirements preferred
• Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, Business Administration, or related field preferred
• CPA designation is not required

Our Business Philosophy

We are a manufacturing company first.

Every department within the organization—including accounting, administration, human resources, compliance, and operations support—exists to support our primary mission: serving customers through safe, efficient, high-quality manufacturing.

The successful candidate will understand that this role is a service and support function within the organization. While accuracy, compliance, and financial controls are essential, they must be balanced with the practical needs of a fast-paced manufacturing environment.

We are looking for a team-oriented leader who enjoys working alongside operations, engineering, production, and management to help the entire organization succeed. The ideal candidate understands that strong administrative processes should enable the business, not create unnecessary obstacles to serving customers and supporting production.

Compensation & Benefits

• Salary range: depending on experience
• Health insurance and retirement benefits
• Paid vacation and holidays
• Long-term growth opportunity within a stable and growing manufacturing company

Ideal Candidate

The ideal candidate is a self-starter who takes ownership, follows through on commitments, and ensures the details are handled correctly. This individual will lead a small administrative team, coordinate with outside accounting professionals, support compliance initiatives, improve business processes, and provide accurate information that helps management make sound business decisions.

If you enjoy building systems, supporting operations, developing people, and helping a manufacturing business succeed, we would like to hear from you.
