Job Description

Great Lakes Family of Companies is seeking an experienced, hands-on Senior Accountant / Controller to join our growing team.

This position will play an important role in the financial operations of our group of privately held companies. We're looking for someone who is comfortable working across multiple businesses, understands the numbers, and isn't afraid to be hands-on with the day-to-day accounting.

Responsibilities include:

  • Prepare and review financial statements, P&Ls and balance sheets
  • Manage banking, cash flow and ACH transactions
  • Oversee accounts payable and accounts receivable
  • Manage intercompany transactions and reconciliations
  • Assist with budgeting, forecasting and financial planning

  • Help improve accounting procedures, controls and processes

What We're Looking For

We're looking for someone with strong accounting experience who is organized, dependable, and comfortable taking ownership of their work. Experience with multi-company accounting and QuickBooks is strongly preferred. Construction, manufacturing, or related industry experience is a plus.

A degree in accounting or finance is preferred, but we will consider significant relevant experience in place of a degree.

What Matters to Us

We're a locally owned family of companies that have grown significantly over the years. With that growth has come, increasing financial complexity.

We're looking for someone who doesn't just want a job. We want someone who wants to understand our businesses, become a trusted part of our team, and help us continue building strong financial systems as we grow.
