Senior Accountant (Greater Tampa Bay Area)

This is a hands-on, high-visibility Senior Accountant opportunity at a rapidly growing company where your technical accounting skills, cross-functional curiosity, and desire to build something will be put to work in a role with a genuinely high ceiling. You will report directly to the Controller, gain meaningful visibility to executive leadership. The accounting team is small and tight-knit by design, meaning everyone collaborates across functions, cross-trains on other roles, and develops a breadth of experience that simply does not exist in larger, more siloed organizations. The company is growing fast, and the right person will grow with it — the Controller has been explicit that this role carries a real long-term path toward stepping into a Controller seat as the function evolves. If you are career-driven, forward-thinking, and genuinely eager to take on bigger responsibilities over time, this is a role worth your serious attention.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead month-end close, maintain the general ledger, and ensure GAAP-compliant financial reporting across the organization.
• Oversee accounts payable and accounts receivable functions, providing direction and review as needed.
• Support ERP administration and optimization including workflow enhancements and automation initiatives.
• Assist with audit preparation, tax support, and safeguarding the integrity of the company's books and records.
• Support financial planning and analysis including cash flow reporting and ad hoc reporting for management.
• Provide mentorship and oversight to junior accounting staff as appropriate.

Requirements

• Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, or a related field.
• 4+ years of progressive accounting experience with a demonstrated track record of career advancement.
• Strong knowledge of US GAAP and the ability to apply it independently in a fast-paced environment.
• Proficiency in Excel and comfort with ERP systems — willingness to learn and optimize new platforms is essential.
• Comfortable working in a smaller company setting where wearing multiple hats and working collaboratively across functions is the norm.
• Forward-thinking, career-driven, and genuinely eager to take on increasing responsibility over time.
