About the Senior Accountant Role
The Senior Accountant will play a key role in day-to-day accounting and financial reporting while working closely with senior finance leadership. Because this is a lean accounting environment, the position offers exposure across the full accounting cycle rather than a narrow area of responsibility.
The Senior Accountant will support general ledger accounting, accounts payable, accounts receivable, reconciliations, month-end close, and audit preparation. This person will also have opportunities to improve processes, strengthen reporting, and make better use of accounting technology.
The ideal candidate enjoys working collaboratively, communicating across departments, and taking ownership of both routine accounting responsibilities and new projects.
Role Responsibilities
Perform full-cycle accounting, including general ledger activity, journal entries, accounts payable, accounts receivable, and month-end close
Prepare bank, cash, balance sheet, and other account reconciliations
Maintain accurate financial records and supporting schedules
Assist with month-end and year-end close activities
Support financial reporting, analysis, budgeting, and forecasting activities
Prepare schedules and documentation for external audits and other compliance requirements
Partner with employees, vendors, and internal teams to resolve accounting questions and discrepancies
Help identify opportunities to improve accounting processes, reporting, controls, and system utilization
Qualifications
Bachelor’s degree in Accounting, Finance, or a closely related field
Approximately 3-5+ years of accounting experience
Hands-on experience with Sage Intacct
Strong understanding of GAAP and general ledger accounting
Experience with month-end close, journal entries, reconciliations, accounts payable, and accounts receivable
Strong Excel skills and comfort working with financial data
Strong attention to detail, organization, and problem-solving skills
Collaborative communication style with the ability to work effectively across an organization
Why This Role Stands Out
Broad ownership across the accounting cycle rather than a highly specialized role
Direct exposure to senior finance leadership
Opportunity to improve processes, reporting, and accounting-system utilization
Collaborative team environment where the Senior Accountant can have meaningful visibility and impact
