LHH is seeking a Senior Accountant to join its corporate accounting team. This role is ideal for professionals coming from public accounting (Big 4 or national/regional firms) who want to transition into an industry role with meaningful ownership, complex accounting exposure, and a clear path for growth.

This position plays a key role in the monthly close and financial reporting process, with broad visibility across the business and regular interaction with cross-functional stakeholders.

Why This Role Appeals to Public Accounting Professionals

  • Opportunity to influence accounting policies and controls
  • Strong long-term career runway within a growing organization
Key Responsibilities
  • Perform revenue and cost accounting activities in accordance with U.S. GAAP
  • Prepare, review, and analyze journal entries and supporting documentation
  • Conduct balance sheet reconciliations and resolve variances
  • Perform detailed financial statement and flux analysis, providing clear, GAAP-based explanations
  • Partner with internal business units to address accounting and operational questions
  • Ensure compliance with U.S. GAAP and internal control frameworks
  • Identify opportunities to improve accounting processes, documentation, and controls
  • Support special projects and ad hoc initiatives related to reporting, systems, or process improvement
Technical & Professional Qualifications
  • Bachelor's or Master's degree in Accounting or Finance
  • CPA or CPA-eligible strongly preferred
  • ~5+ years of relevant accounting experience
  • Public accounting experience (Big 4 / national firm) highly attractive
  • Strong working knowledge of U.S. GAAP and financial reporting standards
  • Experience with core accounting cycles:
    • Record-to-report
    • Revenue recognition
    • Cost accounting concepts
  • Advanced Excel skills; experience with large ERP systems (e.g., Oracle, similar platforms) a plus
  • Proven ability to document accounting positions clearly and defensibly

Pay Details: $78,000.00 to $120,000.00 per year
