About Us At Nelson-Jameson, we’ve been a trusted partner in the food manufacturing industry since 1947. We provide high-quality products and innovative solutions that help businesses maintain top standards in quality, safety, and compliance. As a family-owned company, we believe in accountability, teamwork, and growth—for our people and the business.

Job Summary We’re looking for an experienced accounting leader who believes strong financial operations are built on capable teams, clear processes, and a commitment to continuous improvement. This role oversees people and processes across AR and AP, guiding the systems, controls, policies, and reporting that support accurate financial performance. You bring deep technical accounting expertise, are comfortable in an ERP environment, and know how to translate financial information into decisions. You lead with accountability and mentorship, create clarity in complex work, and build confidence in the data and systems your team uses every day.
The right person is tech-savvy, resourceful, highly detailed, and energized by finding better ways of doing things. You take ownership of the function, see opportunities where others see routine, and challenge the status quo in a constructive way. Rather than maintaining what exists, you evaluate what’s working, anticipate what needs to evolve, and strengthen processes that support the future. You’re motivated by creating durable solutions, guiding people to their potential, and leaving the function stronger than you found it.
Key Responsibilities
Lead and mentor a team responsible for AR and AP, building a culture of accuracy, ownership, and continuous improvement.
Set clear expectations, guide professional development, and strengthen the team’s technical accounting capabilities.
Own accounting policies, controls, and procedures that support healthy cash flow, accurate reporting, and risk management.
Oversee monthly and annual close processes, ensuring timely journal entries, reconciliations, and financial statements.
Translate financial performance into actionable insights, providing clear analysis of trends, variances, and opportunities.
Manage tax filings, audits, fixed assets, and lease accounting in alignment with regulatory and internal requirements.
Leverage ERP capabilities (P21 strongly preferred) to streamline processes, promote standardization, and automate routine work.
Drive system enhancements and analytics initiatives that expand visibility into financial metrics and operational performance.
Partner with finance leadership on strategic initiatives, contributing expertise that supports planning and business decisions.
Lead special projects that strengthen operational accounting, modernize workflows, and support long‑term scalability.
