Senior Accountant

Job Description

Job Description

Continuum is seeking a Senior Accountant to own full-cycle accounting across a portfolio of brands and serve as a critical financial backbone for the organization. This is more than a compliance role — we want someone who combines accounting rigor with the drive and curiosity to understand how businesses operate, spot problems before they compound, and build better processes along the way.

This role sits at the intersection of accounting, finance, and operations. You’ll work closely with brand leadership, the integration team, and corporate finance — giving you visibility across the entire business. Over time, high performers in this role are well-positioned to grow into accounting leadership, FP&A, or M&A integration.

This is an ideal opportunity for a self-starter with strong accounting fundamentals, a problem-solving mindset, and the ambition to grow with a rapidly scaling platform.

Compensation:

$80,000 - $100,000 yearly

Responsibilities:

Monthly Close & Reporting

• Own the full monthly close process for assigned brands, including bank reconciliations, accruals, journal entries, and variance analysis.
• Maintain the general ledger and ensure all financials are GAAP-compliant and delivered within Continuum’s 15-business-day close standard.
• Prepare and review financial statements, supporting schedules, and management reporting packages for brand executives and corporate leadership.
• Identify and escalate discrepancies proactively — don’t wait to be asked.

Financial Operations & Analysis

• Support FP&A and Portfolio Management teams with data, schedules, and analysis for budgeting, forecasting, and performance reporting.
• Conduct analysis of key operational metrics — including collections, payroll, job costing, and vendor activity — to surface insights and flag inefficiencies.
• Assist with audit preparation, tax workpapers, and ad hoc financial projects as needed.

Process Improvement

• Continuously look for ways to streamline close processes, improve reporting accuracy, and reduce manual work through better workflows or tooling.
• Contribute to documentation and standardization efforts across the accounting function.
• Bring ideas forward — we want someone who owns their workstream and improves it.

Qualifications:

• Bachelor’s degree in Accounting, Finance, or related field.
• 2–6 years of accounting experience, including at least 1–2 years in a senior or lead capacity; public accounting or multi-entity environment a strong plus.
• CPA candidate preferred but not required.
• Solid command of GAAP and month-end close processes.
• Comfort experimenting with AI tools and automation to reduce manual work and improve workflows
• Advanced Excel skills required; experience with NetSuite or comparable ERP strongly preferred.
• High attention to detail without losing sight of the bigger picture.
• Strong communicator who can work cross-functionally with non-finance stakeholders. 
• Self-motivated, organized, and comfortable operating in ambiguity — this is a fast-moving company.
