Senior Accountant

Who you are

• Bachelor's degree in accounting, finance, or a related discipline, with 5+ years of accounting experience — manufacturing preferred
• Working knowledge of U.S. GAAP with hands-on experience preparing journal entries, reconciliations, accruals, and financial analyses
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with the attention to detail to trace a transaction across source documents, operating systems, subledgers, and the general ledger
• Proficient in Excel and comfortable working in an ERP or financial-reporting system
• Clear written and verbal communicator who can explain accounting requirements in practical terms to non-finance partners
• Able to juggle competing priorities and meet deadlines in a fast-paced environment, working primarily on-site and engaging directly with the shop floor
• CPA or CMA certification, or meaningful progress toward one
• Experience in aerospace, defense, automotive, industrial equipment, or another engineered-manufacturing environment, including standard costing, manufacturing variances, and project accounting
• Hands-on experience with Infor LN, SAP, Oracle, or a comparable manufacturing ERP, along with cycle counts, physical inventories, BOMs, work orders, or routings
• Exposure to a SOX-controlled or public-company environment, and familiarity with Power BI, Tableau, SQL, or using automation and AI to strengthen accounting processes

What the job involves

• The Accounting team at Relativity spans tax and compliance, financial operations, general ledger, and business data strategy
• While each group brings unique insights, they are united by a shared goal of protecting the financial integrity of Relativity, while also enabling smarter, faster decisions to help the company scale
• You’ll collaborate deeply with teams across the business, ask the right questions, and become a trusted partner, not just a processor
• With a focus on enabling growth, you’ll bring both structure and creativity to a highly dynamic environment
• Own the day-to-day accounting for a complex manufacturing site — inventory, manufacturing costs, labor, fixed assets, capital projects, accruals, and reconciliations
• Prepare journal entries, balance-sheet reconciliations, and variance explanations, and deliver assigned close activities on the monthly, quarterly, and annual calendar
• Support manufacturing cost accounting: standard costs, labor and machine rates, overhead absorption, bills of material, work centers, routings, and work-order review, while analyzing purchase price, usage, efficiency, volume, scrap, and rework variances
• Reconcile inventory subledgers to the general ledger and support cycle counts and physical inventories, including variance analysis, adjustments, and evaluation of excess or obsolete material
• Handle fixed assets and capital projects end to end — capital versus expense determinations, additions, transfers, disposals, depreciation, and timely release of completed projects from construction in progress
• Partner daily with Operations, Supply Chain, Engineering, Quality, and Corporate Accounting to investigate transaction issues, execute controls, support audits, and drive process, master-data, and ERP improvements
