Job Description

Senior Accountant


Salary: $88,000 - $98,000


Looking for a Senior Accountant opportunity where you can do more than just month-end close? This role offers the chance to join a large, stable organization while gaining exposure to complex accounting operations, financial reporting, audits, process improvement, and a major ERP transformation.


This is a great opportunity for an experienced Senior Accountant who enjoys solving problems, working across departments, and taking ownership of their work. Public-sector experience is a plus, but not required — we're looking for someone with a strong accounting foundation who can learn the nuances of the organization.


Why You'll Love This Senior Accountant Opportunity



  • Join a large, established organization offering long-term stability



  • Gain valuable exposure to a major ERP implementation and modernization initiative



  • Work on more than just the monthly close, with exposure to reporting, audits, analysis, compliance, and special projects



  • Partner with stakeholders across the organization and become a trusted accounting resource



  • Opportunity to identify inefficiencies and help improve accounting processes



  • Build experience within a complex accounting environment that will continue to strengthen your technical skill set




What You'll Do as a Senior Accountant



  • Maintain general ledger accuracy and ensure financial transactions are recorded appropriately



  • Prepare journal entries, accruals, account reconciliations, and supporting schedules



  • Support month-end and year-end close processes



  • Research account discrepancies, analyze financial activity, and resolve balancing issues



  • Assist with financial reporting, annual audits, and regulatory reporting requirements



  • Provide accounting support, guidance, and training to internal stakeholders



  • Participate in ERP implementation, testing, system improvements, and accounting process enhancements



  • Help strengthen internal controls and identify opportunities to improve efficiency and accuracy



  • Serve as a knowledgeable accounting resource for departments throughout the organization




What We're Looking For



  • 5+ years of accounting, finance, or audit experience



  • Strong experience with general ledger accounting, reconciliations, journal entries, and financial analysis



  • Understanding of GAAP and financial reporting



  • Comfortable researching discrepancies and working through complex accounting issues



  • Strong Excel and financial systems skills



  • Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, or a related field, or equivalent combination of education and experience



  • Governmental, nonprofit, public-sector, or similarly complex accounting experience is helpful but not required



  • ERP implementation or system conversion experience is a plus




The Ideal Senior Accountant


The ideal Senior Accountant is someone who is technically strong but also curious and solutions-oriented. You'll be successful here if you're comfortable digging into the details, asking questions, collaborating with different stakeholders, and helping improve the way accounting processes are handled.


For a Senior Accountant looking for stability, variety, visibility, and exposure to a large-scale ERP transformation, this is an opportunity to make an impact while continuing to grow your accounting experience.
