Job Description & How to Apply Below

A confidential, well-established organization is seeking a Senior Accountant to join its growing finance team. I’ve been retained to identify a strong accounting professional with a solid technical foundation, excellent analytical skills, and the ability to thrive in a dynamic environment. This role is ideal for candidates coming from public accounting who are ready to transition into a broader, impact-driven position that offers stability, growth, and visibility with leadership.

Why

This Opportunity Stands Out
  • Strong mentorship and direct interaction with executive leadership
  • Opportunity to elevate existing processes and bring fresh insight
  • A stable, financially sound organization undergoing positive growth
  • A role that values initiative, accuracy, and strategic thinking
Key Responsibilities
  • Lead month-end and quarter-end close processes, ensuring accurate and timely financial reporting
  • Prepare and analyze journal entries, account reconciliations, and variance explanations
  • Support financial statement preparation and internal reporting
  • Assist with budgeting, forecasting, and year-end audit activities
  • Maintain and strengthen internal controls, recommending improvements as needed
  • Contribute to special projects, system enhancements, or process optimization initiatives
  • Collaborate cross-functionally with operations and leadership on accounting-related matters
Qualifications
  • Bachelor’s degree in Accounting, Finance, or related field
  • 2+ years of progressive accounting experience; public accounting experience strongly preferred
  • CPA or CPA eligibility is a plus
  • Strong understanding of GAAP
  • Exceptional attention to detail and ability to manage multiple priorities
  • Proficiency in Excel; experience with modern ERP systems is beneficial
  • Strong communication skills and the ability to present financial information clearly
Ideal Candidate Profile

This opportunity suits someone who:

  • Enjoys both hands-on accounting and higher-level analysis
  • Wants long-term growth within a stable environment
  • Appreciates structure but also likes improving processes
  • Brings confidence, curiosity, and a proactive approach to their work
  • Is seeking meaningful work-life balance after public accounting or a fast-paced role
