Job description

We're partnering with a growing glass manufacturing company to find an accounting professional who wants more than a traditional close-the-books role.

This role is 100% on site at their Tacoma (98446) location

This is for the person who wants to understand the business- walking the plant floor, learning what happens at the cutting table and tempering line, and turning that operational knowledge into financial insight leadership can actually use.

What makes this role different:

This isn't a seat-warming accounting job. You'll own analytical projects, build visibility into margins, and serve as a genuine thought partner to finance leadership. The scope is expected to grow with you.

What you'll be doing:

• Analyzing profitability by product, process, yield, and location
• Spending time on the shop floor to understand inventory practices and workflow
• Building and refining reporting inside ERP systems
• Supporting a multi-entity structure with multiple income statements and real estate holdings
• Running projects independently and communicating findings directly to leadership

What we're looking for:

• Bachelor's degree in Accounting or Finance
• 3–4 years of public accounting experience
• CPA or active pursuit a strong plus
• Manufacturing exposure helpful, but not required
• Self-directed, intellectually curious, comfortable with ambiguity

What's in it for you:

• Competitive base salary
• 401k with match
• Healthcare with company contribution
• Flexible PTO
• Room to grow as the company scales

If you're coming out of public accounting and want your work to connect to something tangible-this is worth a conversation.
