Accountant - Manufacturing

Apply Description About Us All In One Accounting is a 7-time winner of the 50 Fastest Growing Companies in the Twin Cities and one of the Best Places to Work in the Minneapolis area. Our purpose is simple: to make the lives of entrepreneurial and nonprofit leaders better. We do that by supporting profitable growth, protecting assets, and amplifying impact — bringing financial clarity and strategic leadership to the clients who need it most. We run on EOS (Entrepreneurial Operating System), which means clear goals, strong accountability, and a team that executes with intention. A bit about the role: We're seeking a Manufacturing Accountant to support a portfolio of small and mid-sized manufacturers — job shops, discrete manufacturers, process manufacturers, and fabricators. Manufacturing accounting is its own world: standard costing, inventory valuation, COGS analysis, and the intersection of operations and finance. You'll work as part of AIOA's delivery team model, bringing the technical foundation and operational curiosity to keep manufacturing clients financially clear and informed — alongside your Controller and CFO. Now about you... We hire for hungry, humble, and smart — and here's what that looks like at AIOA. Hungry means you bring initiative to every client, push beyond the task at hand, and look for ways to improve processes without being asked. Humble means you know when to escalate, you take feedback well, and you make your team better by being a reliable, low-ego contributor. Smart — in our world — means people-smart and situationally aware: you read clients well, communicate clearly, and know how to navigate complexity without creating noise. If that sounds like you, you'll thrive here.
