  • Ensure compliance with internal controls, company policies, and audit requirements

Budgeting, Forecasting & Financial Analysis

  • Analyze actuals vs. budget and identify key cost drivers and performance gaps
  • Provide financial insight to support decisions on pricing, production efficiency, and capital investment
  • Develop and maintain standard cost models and dashboards for leadership review

Operations Partnership

  • Partner with the General Manager, Maintenance Superintendent, and Production leadership on cost control, throughput, and yield improvement
  • Participate in daily/weekly production meetings to keep financial data aligned with operational performance
  • Coach department managers on budgeting and financial accountability
  • Serve as the primary site contact for corporate finance, HR, and auditors

Compliance & Controls

  • Support ESG and environmental/safety cost tracking and reporting
  • Maintain audit-ready documentation for internal and external reviews

What We're Looking For

  • Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, or a related field (CPA or CMA preferred)
  • 5+ years of progressive accounting experience; manufacturing or sawmill experience strongly preferred
  • Solid grasp of cost accounting, inventory management, and variance analysis
  • Advanced proficiency in Excel and ERP systems (UKG, Sage, SAP, or similar)
  • Strong communicator who can translate financial data for non-finance stakeholders
  • Comfortable working in a fast-paced, production-floor environment

Work Environment

This is an on-site, full-time role at our sawmill facility. You'll work primarily in an office setting but will regularly visit production, maintenance, and yard areas. Standard business hours apply, with occasional extended hours around month-end close. PPE (safety glasses, hearing protection, hi-vis vest) is required in designated production zones.
