This role leads the core accounting function — month-end close, general ledger, reconciliations, taxes, payroll, and consolidation — and provides oversight of the Accounts Payable, Accounts Receivable & Collections, and Senior Accountant roles. As the senior accounting/finance operator for the region, the Finance Manager ensures the books are closed correctly and on schedule, enforces internal controls in a publicly traded (SOX) environment, and delivers reliable financial data to the Director of Finance and executive leadership. Strategic financial planning and FP&A for the region are owned by the Director of Finance; the Finance Manager partners with that leader by providing accurate, timely financial information and analysis support.\nWhat You'll Do\n\nMonth-End Close & General Accounting\nOwn and certify the monthly and quarter-end close for the U.S., Canada, and Mexico, including preparation and review of close binders and financial statements.\nManage the general ledger, journal entries, and account reconciliations; ensure accurate and complete recording of all transactions.\nReview balance sheet accounts, inventory, prepaids, and work-in-process regularly to ensure reported numbers are accurate and issues are proactively resolved.\nOversee fixed-asset accounting and maintenance of the fixed-asset ledger.\nPerform and review bank reconciliations for the region.\n\nConsolidation, Reporting & Master Data\nLoad OneStream statistics/data and perform the OneStream check and approval for NA entities.\nReview and approve master data changes to maintain data integrity across financial systems.\nPrepare and review intercompany reconciliations and intercompany billing across NA entities.\nSupport annual reporting and generate financial reports for the Director of Finance and executive leadership as needed.\n\nTax, Payroll & Compliance\nComplete monthly tax filings and coordinate related compliance across the U.S., Canada, and Mexico, including country-specific statutory and indirect-tax requirements.\nProcess and/or oversee payroll (Dayforce), ensuring accuracy of pay, coding, and deductions across the U.S., Canada, and Mexico.\nMaintain and distribute certificates of insurance.\nApprove purchase orders, ensuring compliance to process and accuracy of GL coding.\n\nInternal Controls & Audit\nEnforce internal controls and segregation of duties to meet SOX/COSO requirements; serve as the reviewer/approver of accounting work within defined control boundaries.\nHandle internal and external audit requests and support a timely, clean audit.\nIdentify and implement process improvements and standard work across the accounting function.\n\nTeam Leadership & Oversight\nProvide leadership, coaching, and quality review to the Accounts Payable, AR & Collections, and Senior Accountant roles.\nProvide oversight and review of the Mexico (MTMX) accounting function, which is performed day-to-day by the Accounting Manager, MTMX; ensure Mexico results are accurate, timely, and properly consolidated into the NA reporting framework.\nTake ownership of issues within scope — proactively driving solutions, exercising sound judgment, and communicating progress to stakeholders rather than escalating routine matters.\nSupport ERP (SAP) and OneStream improvement initiatives and consult with site management on expenses, financial performance, and SAP process flow.\nOther duties and assignments as required; may serve as backup for payroll, bank deposits, and related functions.\nWhat You'll Bring\nBachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, or Business (equivalent experience may be considered).\nMinimum seven (7) years of progressive accounting/finance experience in a comparable role, including month-end close ownership.\nStrong knowledge of U.S. GAAP and multi-entity accounting; experience closing multiple legal entities.\nProficiency with ERP systems (SAP Business One preferred), consolidation tools (OneStream preferred), and payroll systems (Dayforce).\nSelf-starter who takes ownership, exercises sound judgment, and drives issues to resolution proactively.\nStrong communicator with a proactive, solutions-oriented approach and the ability to lead and develop a small accounting team.\nHigh attention to detail and commitment to accuracy, confidentiality, and financial integrity.\nWhat We Value\nCPA, CA (Chartered Accountant), CMA, or equivalent.\nExperience in a publicly traded / SOX-compliant company.\nExperience with SAP Business One and OneStream in a publicly owned company.\nCanadian accounting and payroll familiarity — CRA source deductions (CPP/EI), T4/ROE, Ontario EHT/WSIB, and Registered Pension Plan (RPP) administration — given NA operations in Ontario.\nExperience in manufacturing (plastics/injection molding or automotive supply preferred).\nFamiliarity with Mexico-region accounting, tax, and payroll requirements (given oversight of the MTMX entity); working Spanish-language ability a plus.\nWork Environment\nOn-site role based in Fraser, MI; standard office environment with occasional plant-floor exposure requiring appropriate PPE.\nOccasional travel to NA site locations as needed.","description_format":"text","description_chars":5364,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":7,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":{"level":"bachelor","optional":false},"security_clearance":false,"languages":[{"language":"Spanish","level":"All levels","optional":false}]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":[],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-11-02T18:11:41Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":90,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":1,"p_active":0.903,"p_room":1,"age_days":10,"expected_fill_days":42,"reasons":["conf:3","velocity","win:early"],"computed_at":"2026-11-12T10:38:37Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/standex-international-finance-manager","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/standex-international-finance-manager.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-11-12T23:37:30Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":49943,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-11-13T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.1,"usd":0.01,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":2318981},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=2318981"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fstandex-international-finance-manager"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"free","price":{"credits":0,"usd":0},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fstandex-international-finance-manager"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.1,"usd":0.01},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fstandex-international-finance-manager"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/standex-international-finance-manager\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fstandex-international-finance-manager"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":3620509}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"standex.com","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":3620509},"note":"people open to offers who fit this vacancy"}],"note":"The same data through MCP tools: https://alion.io/mcp/open needs no sign-in (compact searches, postings, people);
