Are you an experienced accounting leader who enjoys solving complex business challenges, improving processes, and stepping into high-impact projects? Robert Half Management Resources is seeking Senior Accounting & Finance Consultants to support clients throughout the Greater Tampa Bay and Sarasota markets.

• Leading month-end, quarter-end, and year-end close processes
• Managing financial reporting and ensuring compliance with GAAP
• Overseeing consolidations, intercompany accounting, and multi-entity environments
• Reviewing complex account reconciliations and balance sheet analyses
• Strengthening internal controls, policies, and accounting processes

Work Environment

This is a hybrid consulting opportunity supporting clients across the Greater Tampa Bay and Sarasota regions. Many engagements involve onsite collaboration, typically up to three days per week, while project requirements vary by client. Some engagements may offer greater remote flexibility; however, consultants should expect a primarily hybrid work model and be comfortable working directly with client teams when needed.

You'll have the opportunity to work on high-visibility projects, gain exposure to a variety of industries and business environments, and make an immediate impact while enjoying the flexibility and variety that consulting provides.
