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
- 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
- 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
