Senior Accountant

Neil Jesani Advisors (NJA) is a national tax and advisory firm serving high-net-worth individuals and mid-market businesses across the United States. Our team of CPAs, tax attorneys, IRS Enrolled Agents, CFPs, and fractional CFOs provides tax, compliance, accounting, tax resolution, and advisory services. We are headquartered in Sunrise, Florida, with a West Coast office in Las Vegas.

For more than 20 years, our work has been built on responsive client service, deep technical expertise, and integrity. Internally, we value ownership, entrepreneurship, and steady improvement in how we work.

This is an internal corporate accounting role within NJA’s own finance function. It does not involve client tax or advisory work. The Senior Accountant owns core accounting work across NJA’s multiple entities and business lines and reports to the Corporate Financial Controller.

You will also play a hands-on part in two major initiatives: converting historical records from cash to accrual accounting and implementing a cloud-based ERP.

This role suits an accountant who likes building things as well as maintaining them: someone who wants to help turn a growing firm’s accounting into a scalable, well-controlled function.
