Job description

Salary Range: $85,000–$97,500 ~ commensurate with experience

Bonus Potential: Up to $20,000 annually

Benefits: 401(k), Group Health Insurance, Cell Phone Assistance, and more

A privately held, multi-division organization is seeking an experienced Senior Accountant to play a critical role in financial leadership, reporting, and operational support. This is a highly visible position reporting directly to the President, with regular interaction with executive leadership and a parent company.

This opportunity is ideal for a hands-on accounting professional who enjoys owning the close, leading a small team, and translating financial data into meaningful insights for leadership.

What You’ll Do

• Lead the monthly close process for multiple operating divisions
• Prepare and review Balance Sheets, P&Ls, and journal entries
• Manage inter-divisional billing
• Understand and apply percentage-of-completion accounting and WIP for project-based operations
• Oversee inventory tracking and basic vehicle leasing/financing
• Deliver monthly and quarterly reporting to parent-company leadership

Team & Cross-Functional Leadership

• Manage and mentor a support team of 2–3 accounting staff handling AP, AR, bank reconciliations, and payroll coordination
• Partner with internal HR and parent-company HR on benefits administration (group health, 401(k), and related plans)
• Collaborate with IT leadership and support basic system integrations

Systems, Reporting & Analytics

• Maintain and optimize accounting operations in QuickBooks Online (with a future transition to Sage)
• Leverage Excel and Microsoft 365 at an advanced level for reporting and analysis
• Support and interpret data from job costing and customer service operating systems
• Develop, refine, and communicate KPIs and financial insights to executive and mid-level management

What We’re Looking For

• Bachelor’s degree in Accounting (Master’s preferred)
• 3–5 years of experience leading accounting teams
• Strong experience with monthly close and multi-entity accounting
• Advanced Excel skills and comfort with financial modeling and reporting
• Working knowledge of benefits administration and payroll coordination
• Ability to communicate clearly and confidently with senior leadership
• Highly organized, detail-oriented, and comfortable in a fast-moving environment

Why This Role Stands Out

• Direct access to executive leadership
• Broad scope with real influence on operations and strategy
• Opportunity to help shape processes, reporting, and systems
• Stable organization with multiple operating divisions
• Trusted, senior-level role with room for long-term impact

If you’re a seasoned accounting professional ready to step into a visible, trusted leadership role, we encourage you to apply.
