• Support inventory accounting and related analysis
• Maintain and strengthen internal controls, accounting procedures, and best practices
• Identify opportunities for process improvement, automation, and workflow efficiency
• Support accounting systems and technology enhancements
• Provide coaching and guidance to an established accounting team
• Participate in strategic planning and business decision‑making

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, Business, or related field
• 5+ years of progressive accounting experience

• Ability to effectively partner with operational and non‑financial leaders
• Strong analytical skills with the ability to identify the story behind the numbers
• Advanced Excel skills and strong overall systems proficiency
• Experience with Sage Intacct or similar accounting/ERP systems preferred
• ServiceTitan experience is a plus

• Exposure to inventory and/or cost accounting preferred
• Comfortable leveraging technology, automation, and emerging AI tools
• Strong communication, organization, and problem‑solving skills

This position is onsite five days per week in Rochester, NY, with typical hours of 7:30 AM–4:30 PM.
