Financial Analyst

If you believe the best finance partners are built on the plant floor, not just behind a screen, this role is worth your time.

We are supporting a manufacturing operation in Aroostook County, Maine that is looking for an Accounting or Finance professional who wants to be truly embedded in the business. This is not a remote, hybrid, or check-in-from-afar role. It is hands-on, on-site, and closely tied to day-to-day operations.

You will work directly with machine superintendents and plant leadership, supporting critical equipment, processes, and operational finance activities that require a daily presence. This role also serves as backup for on-site operational finance responsibilities, making reliability and engagement essential.

This opportunity is ideal for someone who can commute locally or is open to relocating for the right long-term fit. Northern Maine offers a pace and quality of life that is increasingly hard to find. Think space to breathe, four true seasons, strong community ties, access to the outdoors, and a lower cost of living. It suits someone who values focus, stability, and doing work that is tangible and visible.

What you will be doing: 

• Ensure accounting requirements are completed accurately and on time

• Analyze operational and financial data, investigate variances, and identify key drivers

• Prepare clear, meaningful variance commentary for plant and leadership teams

• Support cost reduction and continuous improvement initiatives

• Assist with reporting tied to performance and incentive programs

• Recommend and help implement process improvements aligned with operational goals

• Spend time on the manufacturing floor, partnering closely with plant leadership

What they are looking for: 

• Bachelor’s degree in Accounting or Finance

• Strong analytical, problem-solving, and communication skills

• Ability to prioritize in a fast-paced manufacturing environment

• High integrity and respect for confidentiality

• Approximately 10 percent travel

• A hands-on mindset and willingness to be on-site in Aroostook County every day

If you are looking for a role where your work directly impacts operations, people, and outcomes, and you are open to building a life in northern Maine, this could be a meaningful next step.

Compensation is commensurate with experience. Salary details are shared early in the interview process.
