Job description

Accounting Manager Department: Finance/Administration Reports To: CFO

McCann Vision & Values: At McCann, we believe contractors and municipalities deserve a trusted supplier who cares about their long‑term success as much as the success of the project at hand.

What We Do: 'Serving the Constructor' with supplies, equipment, and support needed to get the job done.

How We Do It: We 'Exceed the Expectations' of our customers, fellow associates and partners.

Our Shared Values: Integrity, Respect, Reliability & Urgency.

We're looking for an Accounting Manager to lead our accounting team and own the monthly close process. McCann Industries distributes construction equipment and building materials across the Midwest. Our accounting group is small enough that you'll know every account and everyone on the team, and the business is complex enough to keep the work interesting — multiple locations, real inventory, and customers who count on us. You'll report directly to the CFO. This is a strong fit if you've spent a couple of years as an accounting supervisor and you're ready to step up and run things.

Benefits

• Competitive salary and eligibility for bonus program
• Opportunities for growth
• Health benefits
• 401K with Company match
• Paid time off and holiday pay
• Professional development opportunities

Core Values

• Demonstrate McCann Values – Integrity, Respect, Reliability & Urgency
• Customer Service: A passion for customer service with the ability to resolve issues in a positive manner.
• Teamwork: Collaborate with internal teams to ensure seamless operations and high‑quality service.
• Effective Communication: Excellent verbal and written communication skills, interpersonal skills, professionalism, and integrity.

Key Responsibilities

• Month-end and year-end close, including journal entries and financial statements under GAAP
• Monthly reporting to management, with comparisons to budget and prior year
• A team of staff accountants and accounts payable specialists — hiring, training, coaching, and day‑to‑day direction
• Accounting policies, procedures, and internal controls
• Year‑end audit prep and the relationship with our outside auditors
• Tax filings and supporting documentation
