Job description

We’re expanding into enterprise and defense - bringing our obsessive attention to performance, design, and U.S.-based manufacturing into high-stakes environments like search and rescue and military innovation. With several of our products already approved by the Defense Innovation Unit, we’re solving procurement issues for customers who demand speed, agility, and compliance.

If you love working at the intersection of community, content, and cutting-edge technology, you’ll feel right at home here.

The Accounting Manager will be a key member of the Controllership organization and will lead the day-to-day execution of Unusual Machines' accounting operations.

Job responsibilities

  • Lead day-to-day accounting operations and manage the monthly, quarterly, and annual close, ensuring the accuracy and completeness of the general ledger and financial reporting.
  • Review journal entries, accruals, account reconciliations, roll-forwards, and supporting schedules; ensure reconciling items and accounting exceptions are resolved timely.
  • Oversee accounting for cash, AP, AR, prepaids, fixed assets, leases, payroll-related accounts, intercompany activity, and other assigned accounts.
  • Review financial results and balance-sheet activity to identify unusual trends, errors, and emerging accounting issues.
  • Lead, coach, and develop the accounting team, establishing clear responsibilities, deadlines, review standards, and accountability.
  • Build appropriate cross-training and backup coverage while developing a scalable accounting organization that can support continued growth and acquisitions.
  • Provide accounting oversight of inventory and manufacturing processes while partnering with the Cost Accountant on product costing, landed cost, COGS, manufacturing variances, and inventory reserves.
  • Review inventory-to-GL reconciliations, E&O analyses, inventory adjustments, cycle counts, and physical inventory results.

Job requirements

  • Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, or related field.
  • 6–10 years of progressive accounting experience, including meaningful responsibility for month-end close, general ledger accounting, reconciliations, and financial reporting.
  • 2+ years of supervisory, management, or significant team-lead experience strongly preferred.
  • Strong knowledge of U.S. GAAP and financial statement preparation.
  • Manufacturing, aerospace, defense, electronics, hardware, distribution, or other inventory-intensive industry experience strongly preferred.
  • Solid understanding of inventory accounting, COGS, raw materials, WIP, finished goods, inventory reserves, and manufacturing cost flows.
  • Working knowledge of standard costing, BOMs, labor and overhead allocation, landed cost, and manufacturing variances.
  • Strong ERP experience; hands-on NetSuite experience strongly preferred.
