The role
Big Lots would rather pay $117,000 - $171,000 for an Accounting Manager who prevents surprises than clean up after them. Cut to the chase and you get $117,000 - $171,000, a finance mandate, and Big Lots colleagues who treat ownership as the default.

- Trim days off the AP cycle without straining a single vendor
- Partner with department heads across Loveland, CO to keep budgets honest
- Keep the CO unemployment and withholding accounts perfectly square
- Stress-test the annual budget against three unhurried demand scenarios
- Run weekly cash positioning and short-term borrowing decisions
- Watch DSO and DPO together, not as isolated numbers
- Settle expense reports fast enough that nobody chases you twice
What You'll Bring
- A point of view, held loosely and defended well
- Prior experience working on-site in Loveland, CO, or willingness to relocate
- Strong analytical and problem-solving capabilities
- The judgment to say no to good ideas at the wrong time
- The kind of reliability that earns you the hard assignments
