Senior Accountant (High-Exposure Role | Downtown Knoxville, TN)
A financially strong, well-established private investment office in downtown Knoxville is seeking a Senior Accountant to join its team. This is a unique opportunity for an accounting professional—particularly someone coming from public accounting or a client-service environment—who thrives in a fast-paced setting and enjoys working directly with high-level stakeholders.
This role offers significant visibility to ownership and senior leadership, making it ideal for someone who combines strong technical accounting skills with exceptional communication and presentation abilities.
Why This Opportunity Stands Out
- High-touch role with direct exposure to ownership and executive leadership
- Opportunity to transition out of public accounting into a dynamic, relationship-driven environment
- Financially sound organization with a stable, long-term outlook
- Competitive compensation, bonus potential, and excellent benefits
- Collaborative, high-performing team in a downtown Knoxville office setting
What You'll Do
- Maintain accounting records and prepare journal entries with strong attention to accuracy and detail
- Partner with internal stakeholders and external advisors, including investment managers
- Perform reconciliations, financial analysis, and support monthly/quarterly reporting processes
- Assist with audit and tax preparation activities, including coordination with third parties
- Support treasury functions, including cash tracking and debt management
- Deliver proactive communication and updates to leadership and stakeholders
What We're Looking For
- 4+ years of accounting experience (public accounting or private client-facing roles strongly preferred)
- Proven ability to communicate complex financial information clearly and confidently
- Strong Excel skills and attention to detail
- A client-service mindset with the ability to build trust and credibility
- Ability to operate with urgency, discretion, and professionalism in a high-exposure environment
- Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, or related field
Ideal Candidate Profile
This position is perfect for someone who:
- Is coming out of public accounting (Audit/Tax) and wants a more relationship-driven role
- Enjoys interacting with stakeholders and being a trusted advisor, not just behind the scenes
- Brings a combination of technical accounting strength and polished communication skills
- Wants visibility and the opportunity to make a real impact
Additional Details
- Location: Downtown Knoxville, TN (onsite)
- Compensation: Competitive base salary + bonus + excellent benefits
- Environment: Professional, confidential, high-integrity setting
