Are you an accounting professional who enjoys working in a dynamic, multi-entity environment where no two days look the same?

Our client is seeking a Senior Accountant to join a high-performing finance team supporting a diverse and growing franchise portfolio. This is a highly visible role offering direct exposure to accounting leadership and operational teams, with the opportunity to take ownership of complex, fast-moving accounting processes.

This is an ideal opportunity for someone who enjoys digging into details, building structure in evolving environments, and partnering closely with both finance and operations leaders to drive accuracy and insight across the business.

• Opportunity to strengthen processes, improve reporting, and drive efficiencies
• Fast‑paced environment with variety, ownership, and continuous learning
• Strong long‑term growth potential within a well‑established, expanding organization
• Collaborative culture that values accountability, curiosity, and initiative

In this role, you will take ownership of the franchise accounting function across a multi‑entity structure, ensuring accuracy, timeliness, and insight in all financial reporting and operational data.

• Managing the full accounting cycle for franchise operations, including revenue recognition, royalty billing, and AR management
• Serving as the primary accounting contact for franchise‑related financial activity
• Overseeing invoicing, cash application, and reconciliation of franchisee payments
• Monitoring and resolving outstanding balances, deductions, and billing discrepancies
• Preparing period‑end franchise revenue schedules and reconciliations

• Experience with ERP systems (Sage 100 preferred)
• Strong analytical mindset with attention to detail and accuracy
• Ability to manage multiple priorities in a fast‑paced environment
• Strong communication skills and ability to collaborate across teams

This role is a great fit for someone who:

• Enjoys owning processes end‑to‑end and being the go‑to accounting resource
• Thrives in a fast‑paced, evolving environment with a high degree of variety
• Likes working closely with both finance and operational leaders
• Is proactive, detail‑oriented, and comfortable working independently
