Senior Accountant

Tier One is a growing security and risk-management organization with approximately $13 million in annual revenue and more than 100 employees.

At Tier One, we believe security goes beyond simply providing a presence. Our mission is to deliver proactive, professional security solutions through disciplined execution, highly trained personnel, innovative processes, enabling technology, and trusted collaboration. Our leadership team brings more than 250 years of combined law enforcement and military experience, and we are committed to setting a higher standard for professionalism, training, service, and accountability.

As the organization continues to grow, we are strengthening the financial systems, processes, controls, and reporting capabilities needed to support that growth. For now, this is a 1-person accounting department and as we grow, this person will need to lead a team.

We are seeking an experienced, hands-on Senior Accountant who can take ownership of the company's day-to-day accounting functions while also serving as a trusted financial resource to the leadership team.

This is not a position where you simply close the books and distribute reports. We want someone who understands the numbers, recognizes trends and concerns, asks questions when something doesn't look right, and can clearly communicate the financial health of the organization to company leadership.

The successful candidate must live within a 30-minute commute from the office.
