What We're Looking For

+ Bachelor’s degree in Accounting and 3+ years of relevant accounting experience.

+ Strong working knowledge of US GAAP, revenue recognition, and SOX compliance.

+ Excellent analytical and communication skills — you can translate complex financial data into clear insights.

+ Proficiency in Microsoft Excel and familiarity with ERP systems.

+ Attention to detail, accountability, and a proactive approach to problem-solving.

+ A mindset focused on quality, integrity, and continuous improvement.

+ Preferred: CPA certification, public accounting or manufacturing experience, aerospace industry exposure, and advanced Excel skills.

Why You’ll Enjoy Working Here:

+ Flexibility that works: 9/80 schedule with every other Friday off

+ Professional growth: Continuing education support, certifications, and exposure to governance, risk, and compliance tools at a global scale.

+ A culture that values balance: Work with a high-performing, motivated team that also promotes positivity and collaboration.

+ Competitive rewards: Benefits start the first of the month after hire, quarterly bonus tied to company profitability, 401(k) with 3% company contribution, Employee Stock Purchase Plan, paid holidays (including a full Christmas week shutdown), and comprehensive health/vision/dental coverage.

Compensation & Benefits:

+ Base salary: $85,000 - $100,000 influenced by several factors including experience, skill set, education, certifications, market conditions, and business needs.
