Accounting & Auditing

Join Lyneer Search Group as the Senior Manager of Finance Accounting in the dynamic New York City metropolitan area, where you will play a pivotal role in shaping the company's financial future. This leadership position is crucial for maintaining fiscal health, optimizing resources, and supporting expansion in a competitive recruitment landscape. Your strategic oversight will directly influence profitability, compliance, and long-term sustainability, making a profound impact on organizational success. In this role, you will lead a team of accountants and finance professionals, overseeing daily financial transactions, monthly close processes, and quarterly reporting cycles. Develop and implement accounting policies, conduct variance analysis on budgets versus actuals, and prepare detailed financial statements for board review. Collaborate closely with executive leadership, HR, and operations teams to provide forecasting models and cost-saving recommendations. Manage annual audits with external firms, ensure SOX compliance, and mentor junior staff on best practices. Weekly tasks include reviewing cash flow projections and AP/AR reconciliations, while monthly deliverables encompass P&L analysis and KPI dashboards. You will drive process improvements using ERP systems, spearhead ad-hoc projects like M&A due diligence, and track key metrics such as DSO, EBITDA margins, and ROI on initiatives. Candidates must hold a Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, or a related field, with a CPA certification strongly preferred. A minimum of 8-10 years of progressive experience in finance accounting is required, including at least 4 years in a managerial capacity within professional services or staffing industries. Proficiency in GAAP/IFRS standards, advanced Excel modeling, and ERP platforms like NetSuite or SAP is essential. Familiarity with recruitment sector financial dynamics, such as variable billing and talent acquisition costs, is highly valued. An MBA or additional certifications like CMA will set you apart. Success demands strong technical expertise in financial software, data analytics tools like Tableau, and automation scripting. Equally vital are soft skills such as exceptional communication for presenting to C-suite, strategic leadership to inspire teams, and problem-solving for complex fiscal challenges. You should exhibit analytical precision, adaptability in fast-paced settings, and a commitment to ethical standards, fostering innovation in financial practices. Lyneer Search Group is a premier recruitment firm dedicated to connecting top talent with leading organizations across industries. Our mission emphasizes integrity, innovation, and client success, supported by a collaborative team environment in the heart of New York.
