$110k - $125k/yr Full time Accounting Finance Manager Financial Management

This position is no longer accepting applications (closed Oct 18, 2026).

Job Description

FOX PACKAGING seeks a hands-on Finance Manager to lead day-to-day onsite execution of the Finance and Accounting function and to work closely with the CFO and executive leadership. The role emphasizes stronger finance controls, consistent month-end close, governance over pricing, team development, and support for migrating from QuickBooks and manual tracking to Made2Manage (M2M).

Key Responsibilities

Provide day-to-day onsite leadership and coordination for the Finance and Accounting team during the CFO’s onsite and remote weeks.
Maintain clear priorities, deadlines, and accountability across recurring accounting, reporting, pricing, control, and support activities.
Act as the first escalation point for routine workflow issues, resolving items or elevating exceptions quickly.
Partner with team members to understand workload, remove process friction, and improve role clarity.
Step into selected tasks when leverage is needed, a bottleneck must be cleared, or a critical process requires protection.
Serve as the primary onsite Finance contact for company owners and executive leadership for documents, approvals, questions, and financial follow-up.
Convert physical documents, handwritten requests, and informal owner handoffs into traceable Finance workflows with defined ownership and follow-through.
Ensure critical items are scanned, routed, retained, and completed rather than remaining dependent on paper or individual memory.
Prepare concise exception-based updates for the CFO on items requiring decision, escalation, or leadership attention.
Own the close calendar, including dependencies, due dates, completion tracking, and escalation of late inputs.
Coordinate account reconciliations, journal-entry support, AR/AP reviews, inventory/WIP close activities, and management reporting deadlines.
Partner with technical accounting resources to keep the close accurate, documented, and completed on a predictable cadence.
Establish practical controls around credit-card support, expense documentation, approvals, and other recurring close bottlenecks.
Provide hands-on close support when needed without displacing technical ownership held by the appropriate accounting resource.
Define process ownership, train backup coverage, and maintain SOPs, deadlines, and controls for critical recurring Finance activities.
Identify person-dependent, paper-dependent, or overly manual processes and lead practical improvement initiatives.
Support forward-looking digital record retention for financial support, approvals, and audit documentation.
Collaborate with Finance, ERP/IT, and operating teams to reduce duplicate entry, unnecessary trackers, and recurring manual reporting.
Help build formal control processes for inventory, excess and obsolete material, fixed assets, AR/AP, and balance-sheet integrity.
Support the CFO by strengthening Commercial Finance and Sales collaboration focused on profitable growth.
Maintain pricing governance, quote discipline, margin thresholds, and escalation paths for exceptions.
Coordinate pricing administration and coverage models so approved prices flow accurately through M2M, quotes, orders, and invoicing.
Maintain working proficiency in pricing workflows to provide coverage when primary and backup owners are unavailable.
Support customer, product, freight, discount, terms, and margin analysis used in bids, RFQs, renewals, and commercial decisions.
Help Sales evaluate pricing and commercial alternatives, including clear financial impact.
Coach team members toward stronger ownership, judgment, accountability, and process discipline.
Evaluate workload using transaction volume, cycle time, exception frequency, complexity, and business value rather than historical job boundaries.
Cross-train critical activities to reduce key-person dependency and improve vacation/absence coverage.
Help create development paths for employees to grow into higher-value finance, accounting, commercial, analytical, or systems work as Fox grows.
Partner with the CFO on role design, performance expectations, development plans, and future staffing needs.
Support the planned migration of Fox Solutions accounting and related workflows from QuickBooks and manual trackers into Made2Manage (M2M).
Map current-state processes, define control requirements, test future workflows, and validate reporting before legacy processes are retired.
Promote data quality at the source by clarifying departmental transaction ownership and reducing recurring cleanup by Finance/ERP.
Support improved working capital, costing, commercial, operational, and management reporting as the function matures.

Required Qualifications

Bachelor’s degree in Accounting, Finance, or a related field.
5+ years of progressive accounting/finance experience, including demonstrated experience leading teams and managing cross-functional responsibilities.

First-Year Success Profile

Finance operates effectively during the CFO’s remote weeks without routine issues requiring constant CFO intervention.
Month-end close becomes predictable, with clear deadlines, ownership, and fewer late inputs.
Critical Finance processes have documented owners, backups, SOPs, controls, and escalation paths.
New financial records are retained digitally and are retrievable without reliance on paper files.
Manual workarounds and duplicate trackers are measurably reduced as M2M, Power BI, and other systems are used more effectively.
Pricing administration is stable enough that the CFO is no longer the routine backup for standard price updates.
Commercial Finance and Sales use improved margin visibility, pricing discipline, and customer-economic awareness.
The Fox Solutions M2M migration is supported through disciplined process mapping, testing, and change management.
The team has clearer roles, stronger accountability, and practical development paths toward higher-value work.
