Job description

What if your next Accounting Manager role wasn't just about owning the close—but about helping redefine how the accounting work gets done?

We're partnering with an approximately $850M organization backed by a global parent company that continues to invest in its U.S. growth. They're looking for an Accounting Manager to lead a team of seven while helping move the accounting function toward greater automation, better analytics, and smarter use of technology.

And when we say there is room to grow here, we've seen it firsthand.

The person previously in this position recently moved into FP&A to broaden her experience, and the leader you'll report to is someone Ambrion originally placed who has since been promoted multiple times. We've watched numerous professionals we've placed here continue to be challenged, learn new areas, and advance their careers.

Now they're looking for the next person who wants to do the same.

You’ll own the full accounting close and lead a Senior Accountant plus a six-person accounting operations team spanning AP, AR, and grain accounting. But this isn't a role where leadership wants you to simply maintain what's working today. They want someone curious about what's possible tomorrow.

Why this opportunity stands out:

• Step into meaningful leadership. Lead and develop a team of seven while building bench strength, improving workflows, and helping people adapt as the function evolves.
• Modernize accounting. Help move transactional work toward exception-based review, automate reconciliations and journal entries, eliminate spreadsheet handoffs, and shorten the close.
• Experiment with emerging technology. Leadership genuinely believes in the potential of AI and automation and wants someone curious enough to explore where tools like Copilot and other technologies can make accounting better.
• Expand your technology toolkit. Gain exposure to Microsoft Dynamics 365, Power BI, Copilot, and additional automation/analytics tools as the organization continues investing in its finance infrastructure.
• Build broader leadership experience. If you've supervised a smaller group—or you're coming from public accounting with some leadership experience—this could be an opportunity to step into management of a larger team and own the accounting cycle.
• Join a company investing for growth. The organization is part of a global parent company that views this U.S. business as an important growth investment.
• Work for leaders we know. We've worked with several professionals within this organization and have watched them take on new challenges and grow their careers.
• Get flexibility that actually feels flexible. The team works in the office Tuesday–Thursday with 9 a.m.–3 p.m. core hours. Meet your responsibilities and deadlines, and there's flexibility around how you structure the rest of your day.

If you're ready to lead people, own the accounting function, and still be encouraged to ask “Is there a better way to do this?”, this could be a really interesting next step.

Qualifications:

We're open to different paths into this opportunity. You don't necessarily need years of Accounting Manager experience already. What matters is a strong accounting foundation, some experience leading or supervising others, and — perhaps most importantly — a genuine interest in using technology to improve how accounting gets done.

Compensation and Benefits:

• Salary Range: $110,000–$145,000 base + 15% bonus
• This role is also eligible for various benefits, including: Medical Insurance

Actual base salary will be determined based on an individual's experience, skills, education, certifications, credentials, special skills, accomplishments, and other factors relevant to the position.

This role is based in the Twin Cities. Applicants must currently reside in Minnesota or are planning to relocate to Minnesota in the near future.
