Job description

We are partnering with a successful, growing industry leader seeking a talented Senior Accountant to join its corporate finance team. This is an exciting opportunity for an ambitious accounting professional who wants to build a strong accounting foundation while gaining exposure to FP&A, acquisitions, financial modeling, and strategic business decisions.

Rather than being limited to traditional accounting responsibilities, you'll work alongside corporate finance leadership, gain visibility across the organization, and participate in projects that directly influence the company's growth. The career potential is especially attractive. This position offers a path into Accounting Manager, Corporate Controller, FP&A Manager, and ultimately Director-level finance leadership roles. Whether your interests lean toward accounting leadership or strategic finance, you'll have opportunities to explore both.

What You'll Be Doing

• Play an important role in the monthly and quarterly close process, including journal entries, account reconciliations, and consolidated financial reporting.
• Partner with the FP&A team on budgeting, forecasting, financial modeling, and performance analysis.
• Gain exposure to mergers and acquisitions, including financial due diligence, integration activities, and post-acquisition reporting.
• Analyze financial results across multiple business units, identifying trends, opportunities, and areas for improvement.
• Work closely with senior finance leadership on special projects, strategic initiatives, and business decisions.
• Help improve reporting, automate processes, and leverage technology to make the finance function more efficient.

What We're Looking For

• Bachelor's degree in Accounting or Finance.
• 3+ years of progressive accounting experience.
• Strong understanding of GAAP, general ledger accounting, and month-end close.
• Strong Excel skills and experience with ERP systems.
• Analytical mindset with an interest in financial modeling, FP&A, and the broader business.
• Someone who is curious, motivated, and eager to grow beyond traditional accounting.

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

• Accounting + FP&A: Build expertise in both disciplines rather than being limited to one career track.
• M&A Exposure: Get involved in acquisitions and learn how companies evaluate, acquire, and integrate businesses.
• Direct Leadership Access: Work alongside experienced corporate finance leaders and gain exposure to high-level business decisions.
• Multiple Career Paths: Advance toward Accounting Manager, Corporate Controller, FP&A Manager, or Director of Finance.
• Modern Finance Environment: Opportunities to work with financial modeling, automation, analytics, and evolving finance technology.
• Corporate-Level Impact: Support decisions affecting the entire organization, not just one location or business unit.

If you're an ambitious accountant who wants to understand how businesses grow, how acquisitions happen, and how finance helps drive major decisions, this is an opportunity worth exploring.

We're looking for someone who doesn't just want their next job — they want to build an impressive career.
