Job Description

LHH is partnering with a growing organization in the San Diego area to identify an experienced Senior Accountant to join its accounting team.

This is a great opportunity for an accountant who enjoys being hands-on with the numbers but also wants broader exposure and the ability to make an impact. The Senior Accountant will play a key role in the month-end close, financial reporting, reconciliations, and day-to-day accounting while partnering with leadership on process improvements and special projects.

This role could be a strong fit for someone who has built a solid foundation in accounting and is ready for increased ownership, visibility, and continued career growth.

What You'll Be Doing

  • Take ownership of key areas of the monthly, quarterly, and year-end close

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

  • Assist with financial statement preparation and reporting

  • Perform balance sheet and general ledger account analysis

  • Research and resolve accounting discrepancies

  • Support budgeting, forecasting, and variance analysis as needed

  • Assist with external audits and preparation of supporting documentation

  • Partner with cross-functional teams to ensure accurate financial reporting

  • Identify opportunities to improve accounting processes, controls, and efficiencies

  • Support special projects and additional accounting initiatives as the organization continues to grow

What We're Looking For

  • Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, or a related field

  • 3+ years of progressive accounting experience

  • Strong understanding of GAAP and general ledger accounting

  • Hands-on experience with month-end close, journal entries, and reconciliations

  • Strong Excel skills, including experience working with large data sets

  • Experience with an ERP or major accounting system

  • Strong analytical and problem-solving skills

  • Detail-oriented with the ability to manage multiple priorities and deadlines

  • Comfortable working both independently and collaboratively

Why Consider This Opportunity?

  • High-visibility role with exposure to accounting and finance leadership

  • Opportunity to take ownership rather than simply process transactions

  • Variety of responsibilities and projects

  • Ability to help improve processes and build efficiencies

  • Collaborative team environment

  • Opportunity for continued professional growth and advancement

If you're a Senior Accountant who enjoys digging into the numbers, solving problems, and taking ownership of your work, we'd love to connect.
