An innovative, high-growth company in the tech-meets-manufacturing space is seeking a hands-on Accounting & Finance Manager to lead core financial operations and help establish the backbone of a professionalized finance function. This is a highly visible role designed for someone who can balance daily execution with strategic foresight — reporting directly to executive leadership and working cross-functionally across departments.

The company operates in a regulated and project-based environment, so ideal candidates will bring strong accounting fundamentals and experience supporting complex revenue cycles, inventory, and compliance frameworks.

• Revenue Recognition: Own and maintain revenue schedules in accordance with ASC 606
• ERP & Systems: Serve as finance system lead for NetSuite, driving process improvements and playing a key role in post-implementation optimization
• Inventory & Cost Accounting: Refine inventory tracking and costing methods for both standard product and project-based revenue
• Billing & Collections: Oversee invoicing, accounts receivable, and support strong cash flow practices
• Financial Reporting & KPIs: Assist with internal reporting, board/investor updates, and financial models in partnership with the executive team
• Compliance & Controls: Support tax filings, regulatory compliance, and documentation for future audits
• Team Collaboration: Manage bookkeeping support and coordinate with external tax and audit partners

Qualifications

• Active CPA (required)
• 3–5+ years of experience in accounting or finance, ideally with a blend of public accounting and in-house leadership
• Experience working with NetSuite, including configuration or implementation support
• Strong understanding of GAAP, revenue recognition (ASC 606), and cost/inventory accounting
• Hands-on, systems-savvy, and capable of building processes from the ground up
• Comfortable in a fast-paced, growth-stage environment with evolving needs
• Bonus: Familiarity with government contracting compliance (FAR/DFARS) or manufacturing operations

This is an excellent opportunity for someone ready to step into an influential finance role and grow alongside a forward-looking company on the rise. If you’re a CPA with a passion for financial integrity and operational improvement — this one’s for you.
