The Opportunity

The Opportunity: High-Autonomy Senior Role

We are a specialized equipment rental business looking for a meticulous and highly autonomous Senior Accountant to take ownership of our financial ecosystem. This is a role for a "numbers person" who finds satisfaction in the precision of daily repetitive tasks, complex schedules, and clean books.

You will report directly to the Principal (JD) and act as the primary guardian of our General Ledger. As this is our priority hire, you will also have the opportunity to help determine the need for a Junior Accountant to support you as we grow.

Key Responsibilities
  • Full-Cycle Accounting:
    Maintain the General Ledger and oversee all daily accounting activities using Quick Books.
  • Fixed Asset Management:
    Manage the nuance of an equipment rental business, specifically maintaining detailed Fixed Asset schedules, including book and tax depreciation.
  • Month-End & Year-End Close:
    Lead the close process with high autonomy, preparing all necessary schedules for review with the Principal.
  • Reporting:
    Build and maintain complex Excel schedules to track rental performance and asset life cycles.

Technical Requirements
  • Quick Books Expert: Deep proficiency with Quick Books is mandatory.
  • Excel Power User: You must be highly proficient in Excel (Pivot Tables, VLOOKUPs/XLOOKUPs, and building complex formulas).
  • Fixed Asset Knowledge: A strong understanding of depreciation, asset tracking, and the difference between book and tax accounting.
  • English Proficiency: C1 Level English (Written). While employee-facing calls are rare, your written documentation and email communication must be flawless.
  • Niche Software: Familiarity with PowerPoint for monthly review decks and Spend Management tools (Ramp/) is a major plus.
The Ideal Profile
  • Attention to Detail: You are the type of person who catches a $0.01 discrepancy and won't rest until the schedule balances.
  • Autonomous: You don't need to be micro-managed. You know the deadlines and you hit them consistently.
  • Task-Oriented: You enjoy the rhythm of daily repetitive tasks and the structure of maintaining precise schedules.
Benefits & Perks
  • Time Off: 10 days of PTO plus standard US holidays.
  • Growth: The potential to build and lead a small accounting team under your supervision.
