Senior Accountant

Tier One is a growing security and risk-management organization with approximately $13 million in annual revenue and more than 100 employees. At Tier One, we believe security goes beyond simply providing a presence. Our mission is to deliver proactive, professional security solutions through disciplined execution, highly trained personnel, innovative processes, enabling technology, and trusted collaboration.

We are seeking an experienced, hands-on Senior Accountant who can take ownership of the company's day-to-day accounting functions while also serving as a trusted financial resource to the leadership team. This is not a position where you simply close the books and distribute reports.

We want a Senior Accountant who can help our leadership team understand: Where are we financially? What changed? Why did it change? What needs our attention? What should we be planning for next? This position will have visibility across the organization and the opportunity to directly influence the financial systems and infrastructure supporting a $10 million company with more than 100 employees.
