Senior Accountant

About Strickland Legacy Group: Strickland Legacy Group (SLG) is an emerging family office platform supporting a growing portfolio of operating businesses, real estate investments, and long-term family initiatives. As SLG continues to grow, the finance function must provide both reliable day-to-day accounting and a scalable foundation for increasingly complex ownership, entity, reporting and transaction needs. We operate in a high-trust environment and value excellence, discretion, and execution.

Our culture is entrepreneurial, detail-oriented, and relationship-driven.

Role

Purpose:

The Senior Accountant will serve as the foundational accounting resource for SLG and will own day-to-day accounting across SLG's portfolio of operating companies, real estate holdings, and family entities (at least five legal entities today, with more expected as the portfolio grows). This role requires broad general accounting capability, including oversight of accounts payable, accounts receivable, payroll accounting, cash activity, month-end close, multi-entity reporting, and consolidations.

This individual should be able to move comfortably between transaction-level detail and the broader financial picture, while building repeatable processes, controls and reporting that can scale as SLG grows. The ideal candidate will be a hands-on operator who works with minimal oversight and serves as the go-to accounting expert within a lean and evolving organization. This position is primarily in-office and offers meaningful autonomy, visibility, and the opportunity to help shape the accounting infrastructure of a family office.
