Job description

Accounting Manager | Shared Services & Accounting

Operational Accounting Leadership Opportunity

Twin Cities, MN (Hybrid) | $130,000–$145,000 + Bonus + Profit Sharing

Ready to take the next step in your career as an Accounting Manager?

We’re partnering with a highly respected Twin Cities manufacturer to identify an experienced Accounting Manager for a highly visible leadership role within a large, enterprise Shared Services organization.

This is much more than a traditional Accounts Receivable position. It’s an opportunity for an Accounting Manager who enjoys combining technical accounting, financial analysis, operational leadership, process improvement, and people development while leading a critical Order-to-Cash function.

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

• Highly visible Accounting Manager role within a large Shared Services organization.
• Blend technical accounting, financial reporting, operational leadership, and continuous improvement.
• Lead an established, high-performing team.
• Partner with senior leadership on automation and business transformation initiatives.
• Strong career growth and advancement opportunities.
• Collaborative, servant leadership culture.
• Hybrid work schedule (3 days onsite / 2 days remote).

What You’ll Do

• Lead and develop a high-performing Accounting Operations / Order-to-Cash team.
• Oversee customer invoicing, cash application, customer account support, credits, and related accounting activities.
• Manage month-end close, journal entries, balance sheet reconciliations, financial reporting, variance analysis, and internal controls.
• Monitor operational performance, KPIs, and service levels while driving continuous improvement.
• Partner with Finance, Operations, and IT leaders to improve business processes and enhance the customer experience.
• Coach, mentor, and develop team members while fostering a collaborative, customer-focused culture.

What We’re Looking For

• Bachelor’s degree in Accounting, Finance, or a related business discipline.
• Current Accounting Manager (or comparable accounting leadership experience) within a mid-sized or large organization.
• Strong technical accounting background including General Ledger, GAAP, month-end close, journal entries, balance sheet reconciliations, financial reporting, revenue recognition, and variance analysis.
• Prior Shared Services, Accounting Operations, Revenue Accounting, or Order-to-Cash experience preferred.
• Advanced Excel skills.
• Strong leadership, communication, and relationship-building abilities.
• Passion for continuous improvement and developing high-performing teams.

Compensation & Benefits

• $130,000–$145,000 base salary
• Annual bonus
• Profit sharing
• Comprehensive benefits package
• Hybrid work environment
