Job Description

Northern Manufacturing is an established custom metal fabrication company specializing in complex, made-to-order products. With more than 160 employees in Oak Harbor, Ohio, our operation combines the complexity of custom manufacturing with the stability of a company that's been in business for more than 75 years.

We're looking for a Senior Accountant to help keep the financial side of our operation running just as smoothly as the shop floor. This is a hands-on role with a lot of variety and ownership.

• Support year-end close and coordinate with our outside accounting firm on corporate tax matters, year-end adjustments, fixed assets, and other complex accounting matters.
• Complete required financial and compliance reporting and work with leadership and other departments to gather information needed for accurate and timely accounting.

Salary: $65,000–$85,000 annually, based on experience and qualifications.
