• Process and oversee bi-weekly payroll for union and non-union employees
• Prepare payroll tax reporting, payroll reconciliations, and payroll-related journal entries
• Review and support accounts payable and accounts receivable to ensure accurate financial reporting
• Assist with the annual independent audit, budget preparation, and regulatory reporting
• Participate in ERP, payroll system, and financial software implementations
• Identify opportunities to improve accounting processes, internal controls, and operational efficiency
• Mentor team members and provide accounting guidance as needed

• Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, or a related field (or equivalent combination of education and experience)
• Minimum 5 years of progressive accounting experience
• Strong experience with general ledger accounting, financial reporting, account reconciliations, and month-end close
• Experience processing payroll; union payroll experience is preferred
• Experience with ERP systems and payroll software
• Strong understanding of GAAP and financial reporting best practices
• Advanced Microsoft Excel skills; proficiency with Outlook, Word, and Power Point
• CPA is preferred but not required
• Excellent analytical, organizational, and problem-solving skills
• Ability to prioritize multiple deadlines while maintaining exceptional accuracy
• Strong written and verbal communication skills
• Ability to maintain the highest level of confidentiality
• Experience mentoring or supporting other accounting professionals is a plus

• Competitive salaried compensation
• Comprehensive health benefits
• Paid time off and holidays
• Retirement plan
• Professional development opportunities
• Stable, collaborative work environment
• Opportunity to lead process improvements and contribute to organizational success

This is more than a traditional Senior Accountant role. You'll have the opportunity to influence financial operations, improve systems and processes, participate in ERP and payroll implementations, and partner with leadership to help drive organizational success. If you're looking for a role that combines technical accounting, financial reporting, payroll oversight, and continuous improvement, this is an excellent opportunity to advance your career.

If you're an experienced accounting professional who thrives in a collaborative environment and is passionate about financial accuracy, process improvement, and delivering meaningful results, we encourage you to apply.
