Job Description

Overview

LHH is partnering with a high-growth, dynamic organization to identify a Senior Manager, Accounting Compliance to join their corporate accounting team. This role offers a unique blend of compliance, audit leadership, and operational accounting, serving as a key right-hand partner to executive leadership.

This is not a traditional compliance-only position-this role operates as an Assistant Controller-type leader, driving critical initiatives across accounting operations, reporting, and system improvements. Ideal for professionals seeking high visibility, ownership, and long-term growth potential within a fast-evolving environment.

Key Responsibilities

• Own and enhance internal controls and accounting compliance processes
• Lead and project manage the annual external audit
• Support month-end close, including accruals, reconciliations, and financial reporting
• Partner with leadership as a key contributor across accounting operations
• Identify process improvements, automation opportunities, and system enhancements
• Support ERP initiatives, including system implementations and optimization efforts
• Collaborate cross-functionally with operational teams, including inventory and field operations
• Step in across the accounting function to address gaps and support critical priorities

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, or related field
• ~8+ years of progressive accounting experience
• Strong background in audit, technical accounting, and financial reporting
• Experience with month-end close and internal controls frameworks
• Exposure to ERP systems and process improvement initiatives
• Advanced Excel skills
• Experience in high-growth or fast-paced environments

Preferred:

• Background in logistics, fulfillment, or inventory-driven industries
• Experience in system implementations or automation initiatives

What We're Looking For

This role prioritizes mindset and adaptability as much as technical expertise:

• Hands-on, roll-up-your-sleeves approach
• Highly resourceful and solutions-oriented
• Comfortable operating in a fast-paced, evolving environment
• Curious mindset with interest in process improvement and emerging technologies
• Team-oriented with the ability to flex between strategic and operational work

The Opportunity

• High visibility with executive leadership
• Clear path toward Assistant Controller-level responsibilities
• Exposure to M&A activity, complex transactions, and system transformations
• Opportunity to help build and scale processes within a growing organization
• Potential involvement in long-term strategic initiatives, including future exit readiness

Pay Details: $120,000.00 to $130,000.00 per year
