Senior Accountant
$75k - $85kFull-time
Taylor White
Senior Accountant | Tampa Bay Area, FL
We’re partnering with a profitable, founder-transitioned distribution company in the Tampa Bay area to find a Senior Accountant who wants real ownership and a clear path to the Controller seat.
About the opportunity
Our client is a privately held, employee-first organization with a leadership team that listens, recognizes great work often, and values balance. Think casual dress, early finishes, and the occasional surprise day off! The Controller is leading a major ERP implementation, so this person will take ownership of day-to-day transactional accounting and work closely with the CFO. For the right candidate, this role can grow into the Controller position and become the CFO’s right hand. It’s a hands-on role, not a spectator seat.
What you’ll do
- Prepare month-end journal entries and maintain balance sheet, bank, and borrowing base reconciliations
- Perform detailed variance analysis across inventory, cash, overhead, AP, and AR
- Audit inventory movement and landed cost calculations; resolve purchase price variances, unit-of-measure discrepancies, and freight accruals
- Support multi-state sales and use tax compliance, resale certificate validation, 1099 reporting, and corporate filings
- Maintain working proficiency across 3-way match AP, overhead AP, and commercial AR, and provide coverage when needed
- Support the CFO with financial reporting, cash flow modeling, internal control reviews, and process mapping for the ERP migration
What you bring
- BS in Accounting or Finance
- 4 to 7+ years of progressive, hands-on GL experience in wholesale distribution, manufacturing, or physical inventory environments
- Strong Excel skills (pivot tables, XLOOKUP/VLOOKUP, variance analysis)
- Working knowledge of multi-state sales and use tax and resale certificate management (Avalara experience is a plus)
- ERP experience is a plus, not required
- A roll-up-your-sleeves mindset and a genuine curiosity to learn every facet of the business
- Someone leadership can trust and develop into a long-term partner
CPA not required. Distribution experience, operational grit, and GL problem-solving matter more than letters after your name.
What’s in it for you
- Base salary: $75,000 to $85,000, depending on experience
- Health, dental, and vision coverage
- 401(k) and PTO
- Genuine work-life balance and a team that treats people well
- A real, visible path to Controller
- Fully on-site in the Tampa Bay area
