Job description

Clear Comfort Water is seeking a hands-on and dependable Senior Accountant to own the day-to-day accounting processes that keep our business running. This role will have primary responsibility for accounts payable, accounts receivable, customer and administrative vendor communications, daily accounting activity, sales tax filings, payroll administration, and other recurring accounting and HR administrative processes.

This is a self-starter role in a growing small business. We are looking for someone who takes ownership of their responsibilities, stays ahead of deadlines, follows issues through to resolution, and is comfortable moving between detailed transactional work and broader accounting projects.

The position also offers a clear opportunity for growth. Working closely with the CFO, the Senior Accountant will progressively take on more complex balance sheet reconciliations, journal entries, month-end close responsibilities, and financial reporting. For the right person, the role can develop into ownership of significant portions of the full-cycle corporate close as Accounting Manager or Controller.

We are not afraid to get our hands dirty or think big. We’re looking for someone who is excited to grow with the company, comfortable rolling up their sleeves, and curious to understand how all parts of the accounting cycle connect in a dynamic small-business environment.

• Own the accounts payable process, including invoice entry, coding, approvals, payment preparation, and vendor communications
• Maintain accurate administrative vendor records and supporting documentation
• Research and resolve invoice discrepancies, duplicate charges, credits, and other vendor issues for administrative vendors
• Monitor upcoming obligations and ensure payments are processed accurately and on time
• Reconcile vendor statements and follow outstanding items through resolution
• Support employee expense reporting and reimbursement processes
