Why This Opportunity Stands Out

Are you ready to transition from public accounting into an industry role where you'll have visibility, influence, and room to grow?

Our client is a well-established, financially strong organization experiencing continued growth. They're seeking a Senior Accountant to become the right hand to the Assistant Controller and play a key role in strengthening the accounting function.

Why you'll love this opportunity:
  • Direct exposure to executive leadership and a clear path toward Accounting Manager
  • Hands-on involvement with acquisition accounting, integrations, and process improvements

  • Stable, growing company with a collaborative culture, long-tenured employees, and a leadership team that values autonomy
  • Hybrid work environment and bonus eligibility
  • Comprehensive benefits including medical, dental, vision, 401(k) with company match, generous PTO, tuition reimbursement, life and disability insurance, FSA/HSA options, Employee Assistance Program, and ongoing leadership development
Key Responsibilities
  • Own key areas of the month-end close process
  • Prepare journal entries, reconciliations, and financial reporting packages
  • Perform balance sheet reconciliations and maintain audit-ready schedules
  • Support acquisition accounting and integration activities
  • Assist with external audits and year-end reporting
  • Drive process improvements and strengthen documentation
  • Partner with finance and operational leaders on special projects and reporting initiatives
Qualifications
  • Bachelor's degree in Accounting
  • 3-5 years of progressive accounting experience
  • Public accounting experience (Big Four not required)
  • Experience with month-end close
  • Strong understanding of U.S. GAAP
  • Audit support experience
  • Preferred:
    • CPA or active CPA candidate
    • Combination of public accounting and industry experience
    • Acquisition accounting experience
    • JD Edwards or similar ERP
    • Interest in leveraging AI tools to improve accounting processes

If you're looking for a Senior Accountant opportunity where you can expand your technical skills, gain acquisition exposure, and position yourself for future leadership, we'd love to speak with you.
