A growing manufacturing and industrial services company in the West Hartford, CT area is seeking a Bookkeeper to join its accounting team. This is a newly created role designed to help bring accounting processes in-house and support stronger financial reporting, controls, and day-to-day accounting operations.

• Support day-to-day bookkeeping and accounting activities
• Process accounts payable through Bill.com or similar AP software
• Assist with payroll-related accounting and coordination
• Maintain accurate financial records in Sage 50 or a similar accounting system
• Reconcile accounts and review transactions for accuracy
• Understand the impact of entries on the financial statements
• Support month-end close and reporting requirements
• Help prepare timely financial information for leadership and ownership
• Work closely with the CFO, office staff, and operations team
• Assist with improving internal accounting processes and segregation of duties
• Maintain organized documentation and support audit-related requests as needed

What We're Looking For

• Strong bookkeeping or accounting experience
• Solid understanding of debits, credits, journal entries, and financial statement impact
• Experience with Sage 50 preferred
• Experience with Bill.com or similar accounts payable software preferred
• Payroll system experience helpful
• Prior experience in a manufacturing, industrial, service, or similar business environment preferred
• Comfortable working in a smaller office environment connected to an active production or plant setting
• Experience supporting a company with at least 30 employees preferred
• Organized, accurate, dependable, and detail-oriented
• Able to meet deadlines and support a timely month-end close process
• Willing and able to work onsite 5 days per week

Compensation & Benefits

• Base salary of $70,000 to $75,000, depending on experience
• Small bonus opportunity
• Opportunity to work directly with executive financial leadership
• Newly created role with room to make an impact
• Stable business with strong growth plans
• Hands-on accounting role in a growing company

Why This Role Stands Out

This is a great opportunity for a true accounting professional who wants to be close to the business, take ownership of core bookkeeping functions, and help strengthen accounting operations during a period of growth. The right person will bring practical accounting knowledge, attention to detail, and the ability to support accurate reporting in a deadline-driven environment.
