Senior Accountant

The Senior Accountant is responsible for providing full-service accounting support for an assigned portfolio of clients. Depending on the size and complexity of each engagement, responsibilities range from owning specific areas of the month-end close process for larger clients to independently managing the full accounting cycle and preparing monthly financial statements for smaller clients.

This role provides the opportunity to work with organizations across multiple industries while developing broad accounting experience, building meaningful client relationships, and taking ownership of the monthly accounting process.
