Job Description & How to Apply Below

A growing, privately held specialty products company is seeking a Senior Accountant to take ownership of core accounting functions and help build a stronger, more scalable financial infrastructure.

This is an ideal role for someone with 4–7 years of experience who wants real ownership, exposure to process improvement, and the opportunity to grow alongside a company that is actively investing in its finance function.

What You'll Do
  • Lead month‑end and year‑end close processes including journal entries, reconciliations, and account analysis
  • Maintain accuracy of the general ledger and all supporting schedules
  • Assist with accounts payable entry and related transactional accounting tasks
  • Prepare financial statements and support internal reporting needs
  • Support external audit requests and compliance requirements
  • Identify and implement improvements to accounting processes and internal controls
  • Partner with FP&A and leadership on reporting needs and financial insights
What We're Looking For
  • Bachelor's degree in Accounting or Finance
  • 4–7 years of progressive accounting experience
  • CPA preferred or actively in progress
  • Strong understanding of GAAP and month‑end close processes
  • ERP system experience required
  • Experience in a growing or PE‑backed environment a plus
Why This Role Stands Out
  • Real ownership — not a support role
  • Ground‑floor opportunity to help build and modernize the accounting function
  • Collaborative environment with direct leadership access
  • Strong benefits including health, dental, vision, FSA, and disability coverage
