LaSalle Network

LaSalle Network is partnering with a fast-growing technology startup in Chicago to hire a Senior Staff Accountant. As the company continues to scale, they are looking for a hands-on accounting professional to help build and strengthen the finance function. This is an exciting opportunity to join a high-growth organization where you'll have direct visibility to leadership, contribute to key accounting initiatives, and play an instrumental role in developing scalable financial processes.

The Senior Staff Accountant will support the Controller in managing daily accounting operations, leading key aspects of the month-end close, and ensuring accurate financial reporting. The ideal candidate enjoys working in a fast-paced, entrepreneurial environment and is eager to take ownership of projects while helping establish the infrastructure of a growing accounting department.


What You'll Do

  • Lead key components of the month-end close process, including journal entries, account reconciliations, accruals, and variance analysis.
  • Maintain the integrity of the general ledger and ensure compliance with U.S. GAAP.
  • Prepare and review reconciliations for cash, prepaid expenses, fixed assets, accrued liabilities, and other balance sheet accounts.
  • Assist with the preparation of monthly financial statements and supporting schedules.
  • Support intercompany accounting and consolidations as the organization continues to grow.
  • Manage the full-cycle accounts payable process, including vendor setup, invoice coding, approvals, payment processing, and vendor communications.
  • Partner with internal stakeholders to improve invoice processing, expense management, and AP workflows.
  • Help develop and document accounting policies, procedures, and internal controls to support a rapidly scaling business.
  • Identify opportunities to improve accounting processes, automate manual tasks, and shorten the monthly close cycle.
  • Support ERP optimization initiatives and assist with future accounting system implementations.
  • Prepare audit schedules and supporting documentation for external auditors, tax filings, and compliance requirements.
  • Collaborate with FP&A, People Operations, and other cross-functional teams to ensure accurate financial reporting, expense tracking, and employee-related accounting.
  • Assist the Controller with special projects, operational initiatives, and ad hoc financial analysis.


What We're Looking For

  • Bachelor's degree in Accounting or Finance; CPA or CPA candidate preferred.
  • 3–6 years of progressive accounting experience, including public accounting and/or high-growth startup or technology company experience.
  • Strong understanding of U.S. GAAP and accrual-based accounting.
  • Experience supporting month-end close, financial reporting, and general ledger accounting.
  • Hands-on experience with accounts payable, invoice processing, and expense management.
  • Experience with ERP systems such as NetSuite, Intacct, or QuickBooks.
  • Advanced Microsoft Excel and/or Google Sheets skills.
  • Strong analytical, organizational, and problem-solving abilities with exceptional attention to detail.
  • Self-starter who thrives in a fast-paced, entrepreneurial environment and enjoys building processes from the ground up.
  • Excellent communication skills and the ability to collaborate effectively across all levels of the organization.


What's in It for You?

  • Opportunity to join a rapidly growing technology startup during an exciting stage of expansion.
  • High visibility with executive leadership and the chance to make a meaningful impact on the finance organization.
  • Exposure to process improvement initiatives, ERP optimization, and finance infrastructure development.
  • Collaborative, entrepreneurial culture where new ideas are encouraged and valued.
  • Competitive compensation, equity potential, comprehensive benefits, and strong long-term growth opportunities.
