Senior Accountant — Where Precision Meets Real Impact
Some accountants just keep the books. You keep them
clean, compliant, and constantly getting better. We're looking for a Senior Accountant to own the balance sheet and general ledger — making sure everything ties out to US GAAP and corporate policy, while spotting the process improvements that make the whole function run leaner.
If you take genuine pride in a reconciliation that balances to the cent — and can't help asking why do we do it this way — keep reading.
What You'll Own
You'll be at the heart of the financial close — preparing month-end journal entries and reconciliations, maintaining the general ledger, and keeping every financial record accurate. You'll support financial statement preparation and internal reporting, monitor and reconcile intercompany transactions, and review and validate resale certificates for tax compliance.
You'll be the go-to during audits — internal and external — providing the documentation and analysis that keep things moving, and ensuring everything stays compliant with GAAP and internal policy. You'll collaborate across Accounts Payable, Accounts Receivable, and Tax, and you'll never stop looking for ways to sharpen the general ledger function.
And because the business is growing and changing, you'll stay adaptable — taking on new responsibilities, special projects, and stepping in wherever timely, accurate accounting is needed.
You'll thrive here if you have
