About the role

Are you an accounting professional looking to take the next step in your career with a rapidly growing, industry-leading organization? We are partnering with a leading, private equity-backed company to identify a Senior Accountant to join its expanding accounting team. This is an excellent opportunity for someone with a background in public accounting or corporate accounting who enjoys taking ownership of accounting processes, improving efficiencies, and working closely with leadership. The ideal candidate will bring a strong technical accounting foundation, analytical mindset, and interest in joining a dynamic, fast-paced environment.
What You'll Be Doing: Take ownership of assigned general ledger accounts, including accruals, prepaid expenses, and vendor rebates. Prepare account reconciliations, journal entries, and supporting schedules as part of the monthly close process. Analyze financial results, investigate variances, and prepare reporting for senior management. Partner with accounting leadership and cross-functional teams on budgeting, forecasting, and financial analysis. Support internal and external audits, ensuring compliance with accounting policies and internal controls. Identify opportunities to streamline accounting processes, enhance reporting, and improve operational efficiency. Leverage automation, AI, and emerging technologies to modernize accounting workflows.
What We're Looking For: Bachelor's degree in Accounting or Finance. Experience in public accounting, corporate accounting, or a combination of both. Strong understanding of GAAP, general ledger accounting, financial reporting, and internal controls. Proficiency in Microsoft Excel and strong analytical capabilities. Experience with ERP systems and an interest in technology-driven process improvements. Strong communication skills and the ability to collaborate across departments. A proactive, detail-oriented professional who thrives in a growing organization.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
