Senior Accountant

Confidential Opportunity | Privately Held Multi-Entity Business

A stable and growing privately owned company is seeking a Senior Accountant / Assistant Controller to join its accounting team in a newly created role designed to support continued business growth and operational complexity.

This opportunity offers broad exposure across multiple business lines, including logistics, warehousing, transportation-related operations, real estate/lease holdings, and affiliated operational entities. The organization is looking for someone who enjoys being hands-on, improving processes, partnering closely with leadership, and operating within a collaborative family-owned business environment.

This is an excellent opportunity for an experienced accountant who thrives in environments where adaptability, ownership, and operational partnership are highly valued.

What You’ll Be Doing

· Lead month-end and year-end close activities, including journal entries, accruals, reconciliations, and financial reporting

· Maintain and improve general ledger accuracy and accounting workflows

· Own balance sheet reconciliations and support multi-entity accounting operations

· Assist with budgeting, forecasting, and management reporting

· Partner closely with operations and ownership to support financial visibility and decision-making

· Support lease accounting and ASC 842 compliance activities

· Help strengthen accounting controls, documentation, and accounting processes

· Support AP/AR oversight, fixed assets, and operational accounting activities

· Assist with accounting cleanup initiatives and process improvement projects

· Work cross-functionally with leadership in a highly collaborative environment

Required Experience & Qualifications

· Bachelor’s degree in Accounting, Finance, or related field

· 5+ years of progressive accounting experience

· Strong general ledger accounting knowledge and close process experience

· Advanced QuickBooks experience required

· Advanced Excel skills including pivot tables, lookups, reconciliations, and large data analysis

· Experience with ASC 842 and lease accounting is required

· Strong understanding of accrual accounting, reconciliations, and financial reporting

· Ability to work onsite in a fast-paced operational business environment

Preferred / Nice-to-Have Experience

· Experience within logistics, transportation, freight movement, distribution, warehousing, or related industries

· Prior experience working within a family-owned business environment and enjoying that style of culture

· Multi-entity accounting and intercompany experience

· Forensic accounting or accounting cleanup experience

· Experience improving accounting processes, controls, and reporting structures

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

· Newly created role with strong visibility to ownership

· Opportunity to work directly with leadership and influence accounting operations

· Broad business exposure across multiple operating entities

· Stable, entrepreneurial environment with long-term growth potential

· Collaborative, team-oriented culture where adaptability and initiative are valued

Comprehensive benefits package offered, including medical, dental, vision, PTO, retirement benefits, and additional insurance offerings.
