Position Summary
We are seeking a Senior Accountant – Shared Services to support enterprise-wide accounting processes across Apogee’s multiple business units and locations. This role provides accounting leadership for fixed assets, leases, and select other shared-service-accounting functions, serving the entire Apogee enterprise—not just a single business segment.
This is more than just an accounting job. You’ll own the execution and improvement of how a public company delivers accounting services across diverse business units, systems, and geographies. You’ll collaborate with colleagues in BU finance, operations, project management, and the Corporate office. You will have visibility, influence, and the opportunity to shape the processes that drive Apogee’s financial operations.
The ideal candidate brings a strong foundation in U.S. GAAP and internal controls, paired with a continuous improvement mindset. You should be comfortable working independently, communicating across teams, and finding ways to standardize and streamline accounting processes across a complex enterprise.
Key Responsibilities
- Lead the preparation and review of journal entries and account reconciliations related to fixed assets, leases, and other shared services functions.
- Support month-end close activities across multiple sites, general ledgers, and ERP systems.
- Manage the full lifecycle of fixed asset and lease accounting—from tracking construction-in-process and new lease contracts, to recording depreciation, amortization, and disposals.
- Support the corporate accounting team with technical accounting research, drafting of accounting policies, and documentation of guidance on complex topics.
- Identify opportunities to streamline, standardize, and improve accounting processes across business units and IT environments.
- Execute, monitor, and enhance internal controls to ensure compliance with Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX) requirements.
- Serve as a subject matter expert and trusted partner for cross-functional and cross-BU initiatives.
Education & Experience
- Bachelor’s degree in Accounting, Finance, or related field.
- 3–5+ years of accounting experience; public accounting or experience at a public company in the manufacturing or construction industries is a plus.
- CPA (or progress toward certification) preferred.
- Strong knowledge of U.S. GAAP; experience with technical accounting topics is a plus.
- Proven ability to work independently, manage priorities, and solve problems with minimal guidance.
- Excellent analytical, organizational, and communication skills.
- Comfortable working across multiple systems, teams, and locations in a dynamic, matrixed environment. Experience with ERPs such as SAP, JDE, or Epicor is a plus.
