A full-time Accountant opportunity in Salinas, California, with Manpower offers a finance professional a hands-on role inside a manufacturing organisation. This guide sets out the day-to-day work, the background the posting asks for, and how to approach the application through the original listing.
About Manpower and Working as an Accountant
Manpower is a staffing and workforce organisation that connects employers with professional talent, and in this case the accountant supports a manufacturing business. That setting means the work is closely tied to production, sales and operating results, not only to head-office reporting.
Accounting in a manufacturing environment also requires steady attention to detail. Figures need to be checked, explained and reconciled so managers can see how the business is performing and where costs or margins are changing.
Accountant Duties and Responsibilities
- Analyse operational and financial results, trends and key performance measures.
- Help with budgeting and forecasting work.
- Support customer profitability analysis.
- Prepare and post journal entries.
- Take part in the month-end close.
- Support daily financial operations and reporting.
Requirements
- A bachelor’s degree in Accounting, Finance, Business or a related field.
- At least 3 years of accounting and/or finance experience.
- Knowledge of financial reporting, budgeting, forecasting and internal controls.
- Proficiency in Microsoft Excel and financial reporting systems.
The posting describes weekday hours of 8am to 5pm, Monday to Friday, and a stated rate of $35 to $40 an hour. Confirm the schedule and pay details in the original listing before applying, as they can change.
