Description
About This Opportunity
Numbers tell a story, and we’re looking for the person who can read between the lines. This isn’t just another junior accounting role—it’s your chance to become the backbone of a fast-paced manufacturing team in Youngstown, Ohio. You’ll own the month-end close, dig into reconciliations, and help shape processes that keep the financial engine running smoothly. If you’re ready to trade monotony for meaningful work, this is it.
What You’ll Do
You’ll step into the heartbeat of our accounting cycle. From day one, you’ll be hands-on with the month-end closing process—processing journal entries, building accruals, and reconciling cash and general ledger accounts. You’ll also:
• Validate wire instructions and payments, ensuring every dollar lands where it should
• Reconcile bank and credit card merchant statements, catching discrepancies before they become problems
• Execute monthly corporate benefit and credit card expense allocations
• Dive into our ERP system to analyze general ledger activity and uncover insights
• Support daily, monthly, and yearly audit functions—your attention to detail will be the safety net
• Tackle ad-hoc projects and help improve existing processes, then help implement those improvements
This role is about more than data entry. You’ll develop a deep understanding of how our financial processes work, then recommend smarter ways to do them. You’ll work independently, think critically, and communicate clearly—because your voice matters here.
What You Bring
You don’t need a decade of experience—you need the right foundation and a hunger to grow. Here’s what we’re looking for:
• An Associate’s degree or higher in Accounting or a related field
• Solid general ledger knowledge and basic accounting skills
• Advanced Excel skills—pivot tables, VLOOKUPs, filters, and tables are your playground
• Comfort navigating a PC, the internet, and various software (you’re tech-savvy)
• Extreme attention to detail—you spot the small stuff that others miss
• The ability to prioritize, multitask, and meet deadlines without breaking a sweat
• Clear, concise communication—both written and verbal
The Details
• Location: Youngstown, Ohio (on-site, no remote)
• Compensation: $48,000 - $55,000 per year
• Type: Direct Hire
• Experience: 1+ year preferred
