This is a hybrid role (3 days in office, 2 remote) and we are looking for candidates local to the Minneapolis/ St. Paul metro.

A major SAP S/4 transformation
A large-scale billing system replacement
Emerging AI governance and AI-related controls
SOX and internal controls
Process improvement and technology initiatives
Executive leadership and external auditors
What We’re Looking For
2+ years of public accounting/audit experience for the Senior level; 4+ for Consultant
OR relevant IT audit / IT controls experience
SOX and internal controls knowledge
SAP experience is a plus
CPA, CPA eligibility, or Master’s degree preferred

SkyWater is excited to be partnering again with a growing cooperative in the Twin Cities looking to add an Accounting Manager to their team!
Reporting directly to the CFO, this is a broad, hands-on role for someone who enjoys owning the accounting function but also wants exposure well beyond the traditional close. This person will oversee one direct report and have responsibility for financial reporting, AR/AP, member accounting, compliance, audit and accounting systems, while partnering closely across the organization on payroll, operations and process improvement.
They’re looking for 5+ years of progressive accounting experience, ideally including 2+ years of accounting/finance management experience, and someone with strong general accounting knowledge across the full financial statements. More importantly, they want a builder – someone who can connect the dots across the business, identify opportunities to improve processes, and bring a collaborative, people-first approach while still being comfortable driving things forward. There’s also an exciting newer business line that could bring additional inventory and entity complexity as it grows.

First, the company and culture. This is genuinely one of the most beautiful corporate spaces I have ever been in. You feel like you’re walking into a spa – natural light everywhere, plants, outdoor conference rooms, fitness center and wellness spaces. And employees actually get to enjoy it on a hybrid basis! The environment is a great reflection of the broader culture – people-centric, collaborative and a place where work-life balance isn’t just something they talk about.
From a role standpoint, we’re looking for an experienced accountant who wants more than a traditional month-end close position. You’ll own core GL responsibilities while also partnering across the organization on forecasting, analysis, controls, process improvement and special projects. The team is specifically looking for someone who is curious, self-driven and enjoys understanding the business behind the numbers.
Ideal background:
3+ years of accounting experience, ideally in industry
Strong GAAP / general ledger foundation
Strong Excel and analytical skills
Large ERP experience preferred
Excellent communication skills and ability to partner across the business
Hybrid in the western Twin Cities metro.
