Senior Staff Accountant

Creative Financial Staffing

Senior Staff Accountant

Step into a high-impact senior accounting role where you’ll own key financial processes and partner directly with leadership. This is a great opportunity to take full ownership of AP operations while supporting tuition reimbursement and core accounting functions.

Why This Opportunity Stands Out:

  • Hybrid flexibility with 1–2 remote days per week
  • Direct exposure to CFO and senior leadership – high visibility role
  • Ownership of full-cycle AP with opportunity to drive process improvements
  • Unique exposure to tuition reimbursement programs and employee benefits accounting
  • Broad, hands-on role across AP, general ledger, and financial reporting
  • Opportunity to play a key role during a departmental transition

Key Responsibilities for the Senior Staff Accountant:

  • Manage full-cycle accounts payable, including invoice processing, coding, and payments (ACH/wires)
  • Administer and track tuition reimbursement programs, ensuring accuracy and compliance
  • Support month-end close, including journal entries and reconciliations
  • Maintain general ledger accuracy and support financial reporting
  • Assist with billing, receivables tracking, and account inquiries

Qualifications for the Senior Staff Accountant:

  • Experience managing full-cycle accounts payable processes
  • Experience handling tuition reimbursement programs or related accounting
  • Familiarity with Blackbaud or similar accounting systems
  • Strong experience with month-end close and reconciliations
