Title: Senior Accountant

Work Model: Hybrid flexibility following probationary period

Compensation: $75,000- $90,000 + discretionary bonus

Position Overview

The Senior Accountant plays a key role in supporting a well-established, growing organization with a strong brand presence and a collaborative culture. This position is responsible for full-cycle Accounts Payable (AP), Accounts Receivable (AR), and biweekly payroll processing using Paycom, while also contributing to month-end close, audit readiness, and process improvement initiatives.

This is an excellent opportunity for a detail-oriented accounting professional who enjoys being close to operations, values accuracy and ownership, and wants to work in an environment that balances structure with forward momentum. The role partners closely with the Controller, department leaders, and external service providers in a fast-paced but supportive setting.

Why This Opportunity Stands Out
  • Join a financially stable organization with a strong market presence and long-term growth plans
  • Work in a hands‑on, visible role with meaningful exposure to leadership and operations
  • Opportunity to improve and streamline processes in an environment that values continuous improvement
  • Broad responsibility across AP, AR, payroll, and close—ideal for someone who enjoys variety and ownership
  • Collaborative, team‑oriented culture with strong cross‑functional partnership
Essential Duties & Responsibilities Of The Sr. Accountant
  • Manage full‑cycle Accounts Payable, including invoice intake, coding, approval routing, and weekly payment processing
  • Handle Accounts Receivable, including invoicing, cash application, and follow-up on outstanding balances
  • Prepare, process, and reconcile biweekly payroll across multiple departments using Paycom
  • Administer and reconcile payroll‑related items such as benefits deductions, garnishments, retirement contributions, and payroll tax filings
  • Maintain accurate vendor records, including contracts, W-9s, and payment terms; coordinate annual 1099 reporting
  • Support month‑end close by preparing journal entries and reconciling AP, AR, and payroll‑related accounts
  • Collaborate with operational and commercial teams to ensure accurate revenue tracking and reporting
  • Identify opportunities to streamline, automate, and improve accounting workflows to increase efficiency and accuracy
  • Assist with budget vs. actual analysis and transactional detail as requested
  • Support annual audit preparation, including schedules and supporting documentation
  • Contribute to cross‑functional initiatives such as inventory accounting workflows and fixed asset tracking, where applicable
  • Ensure compliance with GAAP and internal controls, recommending improvements as appropriate
Requirements & Qualifications
  • Bachelor’s degree in Accounting, Finance, or a related field
  • 3–5 years of accounting experience, preferably in an operational, multi‑department environment.
  • Manufacturing or distribution industry experience highly preferred.
  • Experience with Paycom payroll is a plus
  • Proficiency in Excel and accounting systems such as SAP or Net Suite, or similar ERP platforms
