Lead Accountant

Ready to take ownership of more than just journal entries?

Circle Logistics is growing—and our Finance team is growing with us. We’re looking for a Senior Accountant who wants to do more than maintain the books. This is a hands-on, high-visibility opportunity to own meaningful pieces of the accounting cycle, work with complex multi-entity financials, improve processes, and partner directly with Finance leadership.

If you're an experienced accountant who loves digging into the numbers, solving problems, and making things better—and you're looking for a path toward leadership or a supervisory role
—this could be the opportunity you've been waiting for.

We’re a fast-growing transportation and logistics company moving millions of dollars of freight across the country. That means our accounting environment is high-volume, complex, and anything but boring.
