About the Company
Our client is a well-established national leader in the travel services industry. It has 20+ years of history, a nationwide footprint, and more than 2,000 employees. The company has a lean, collaborative corporate team in downtown Chicago and offers an employee ownership program that gives team members a stake in its success.
The Opportunity
This Senior Accountant will own key parts of the close and reporting process. It is a hands-on corporate accounting role with broad exposure across the business and a real chance to shape processes rather than just run them.

- Prepare and support the balance sheet, income statement, and cash flow reporting
- Research technical GAAP issues and recommend the appropriate accounting treatment
- Account for fixed assets and capitalization in partnership with other departments
- Support quarterly and year-end audits alongside external auditors
- Strengthen internal controls, including system access, as new technology, AI tools, and processes are introduced
- Drive process improvements to increase efficiency, accuracy, and control
- Mentor junior accountants, review their work, and serve as the escalation point for complex questions
- Partner with Operations and other teams on ad hoc accounting and finance projects
Qualifications
- Bachelor’s degree in Accounting or a related field
- 2–4 years of accounting experience, with public accounting strongly preferred (Big 4 or national firm a plus)
- CPA, or actively pursuing the CPA
- Strong working knowledge of GAAP and the month-end close
- Interest in mentoring others and growing into a leadership role
Compensation & Benefits
- $95,000–$115,000 base salary plus a 10% annual bonus
- Employee ownership program
- Hybrid schedule in downtown Chicago
