Alliance Resource Group is partnered with a VC backed clean energy technology company to find a hands-on Senior Accountant who will help build a world-class accounting function from the ground up. This is a high-impact role for someone who thrives in ambiguity, enjoys creating order where little structure exists, and wants to shape the systems and processes that scale with a fast-growing business. You will play a central role in the monthly close, drive process improvements, and partner closely with Finance and Operations to establish the financial infrastructure the company needs as it grows.
KEY RESPONSIBILITIES
Manage the month-end close end to end, including journal entry preparation and review, account reconciliations, flux and variance analysis, and adherence to the close calendar for accurate, timely financials.
Own key close areas such as fixed assets and depreciation, prepaid expenses, accruals, payroll, and cash and bank reconciliations, keeping supporting schedules accurate, complete, and well documented.
Support general ledger maintenance and help refine reporting segments and financial structure to match the evolving needs of a growing business.
Build monthly reporting packages and deliver financial analysis, including trend and variance commentary, KPI tracking, and ad hoc analyses that give leadership and investors clear visibility into performance.
Act as an accounting resource on operational and technical questions, translating requirements for non-finance partners.
Strengthen process documentation, including desktop procedures, system relationships, and process narratives, as opportunities surface during the close.
Contribute to system implementations and expansions across ERP, AP automation, and expense management.
Help maintain accounting policies and internal controls that keep financial records accurate and audit-ready.
