Senior Accountant - NYC!

A growing, private equity-backed company at the intersection of consumer products and design is looking for a Senior Accountant. This is an excellent opportunity for an early-career accounting professional to take on significant responsibility within a growing organization and gain exposure to both core accounting and broader financial analysis, as you'll work hand in hand with the CFO and VP Finance.

This person will play an important role in strengthening the company's accounting infrastructure as the business continues to grow. The position will be hands-on and involve month-end close, reconciliations, journal entries, and financial reporting, while also providing exposure to process improvement, multi-entity accounting, and other strategic finance initiatives. The ideal candidate will have strong accounting fundamentals, excellent attention to detail, and the ability to operate independently in a fast-moving environment.

This role is particularly well suited for someone coming from a strong public accounting or corporate accounting background who is looking to take on broader ownership within an operating company. The company is based in Midtown and only requires 1 day in office per week!
