Senior Accountant

Our client is experiencing continued growth and is adding a Senior Accountant to the team due to a recent promotion and expansion of the business. This is an excellent opportunity for a strong Senior Accountant who wants to take on increasing responsibility and ultimately grow into an Accounting Manager position.

Reporting directly to the Controller, the Senior Accountant will play an important role in the day-to-day accounting operations, financial reporting, month-end close, reconciliations, and analysis. The ideal candidate is someone who enjoys being hands-on, takes ownership of their work, and is interested in developing their leadership and technical accounting skills over time.

What You'll Do

• Support the monthly, quarterly, and year-end close processes.
• Prepare and review journal entries, account reconciliations, and supporting schedules.
• Assist with the preparation and analysis of financial statements and management reporting.
• Support revenue recognition and related accounting activities.
• Analyze account activity and investigate variances or unusual transactions.
• Maintain accurate general ledger accounts and ensure proper accounting treatment.
• Assist with accruals, prepaid expenses, fixed assets, and other balance sheet accounts.
• Partner with internal teams to resolve accounting questions and ensure accurate financial information.
• Assist with improving accounting processes, controls, and reporting procedures.
• Support the Controller with special projects and financial analysis as needed.
• Take on increasing responsibility and ownership with the goal of progressing into an Accounting Manager role.

What We're Looking For

• Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, or a related field.
• 4 years of progressive accounting experience.
• Strong understanding of GAAP and general accounting principles.
• Experience with month-end close, reconciliations, journal entries, and financial reporting.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills with excellent attention to detail.
• Ability to work independently while also collaborating effectively with a team.
• Strong communication and organizational skills.
• A desire to grow professionally and take on additional responsibility.
• Construction or SaaS accounting experience is a plus, particularly experience with revenue recognition, but is not required.

Why Join?

• Newly created opportunity due to company growth and an internal promotion.
• Direct exposure to the Controller and an opportunity to learn and grow.
• Clear potential career path into an Accounting Manager role.
• Collaborative, supportive environment with a focus on quality work rather than excessive hours.
• Flexible start/end times, with options such as 7:304:30 or 8:305:30.
• Minimal overtime, primarily limited to certain month-end close periods.
• While the position is primarily onsite, the company offers flexibility for occasional hybrid work when personal or life circumstances require it.
• Opportunity to join a growing organization where your contributions can have a meaningful impact.

If you're a Senior Accountant looking for a role where you can build on your technical accounting experience, work closely with leadership, and grow into management, this could be an excellent next step.
