About the Company

Our client is a well-established, privately held distribution company with a multi-location operating footprint and a company-owned vehicle fleet supporting its logistics operations.

This is an opportunity to join a finance team supporting a company in active growth mode, with real ownership over a technical and operationally meaningful piece of the accounting function.

Position Summary

The company is seeking a Senior Accountant to take ownership of lease accounting under ASC 842 while contributing broadly to month-end close, fixed assets, and general ledger accuracy across a multi-location operating environment. This role is well suited to someone who wants technical depth in lease accounting combined with exposure to the full accounting cycle of a complex, asset-intensive business.

Key Responsibilities

• Own the ASC 842 lease accounting process end to end, including classification, measurement, modifications, renewals, and disclosure schedules across a large and active portfolio of facility and equipment/fleet leases
• Maintain and reconcile the lease accounting system or subledger, ensuring right-of-use assets and lease liabilities are accurately stated each period
• Support monthly and quarterly close, including journal entries, account reconciliations, and variance analysis across multiple entities and locations
• Assist with fixed asset accounting, including capitalization, depreciation, and disposals
• Support inventory-related accounting processes, including cost of goods sold and inventory reconciliations
• Assist with intercompany eliminations and consolidated reporting across multiple operating locations
• Support preparation of schedules and reporting packages used for lender or ownership reporting, including covenant-related calculations as needed
• Assist with accounting for transactions involving foreign currency exposure
• Partner with FP&A, operations, and external auditors during quarterly reviews and the annual audit
• Identify and help implement process improvements as the company scales its accounting infrastructure

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Accounting or Finance required; CPA or active pursuit of CPA a plus
• 3 to 6 years of progressive accounting experience, with direct, hands-on ASC 842 lease accounting experience required
• Experience with a multi-entity or multi-location operating structure strongly preferred

• Clear communicator who can work cross-functionally with operations and finance leadership

What the Company Offers

• Competitive base salary and benefits package
• Direct exposure to senior finance leadership and to the accounting infrastructure of a scaling, institutionally backed company
• A technically substantive lease accounting mandate rather than a narrow, siloed role
• Long-term growth path within a company actively investing in its finance function
