Position Summary

The Senior Project Accountant plays a critical role in supporting Electrolit’s continued growth by leading accounting workstreams for strategic, cross-functional initiatives. Reporting directly to the Controller, this position operates in a hybrid role that blends hands-on accounting execution with project leadership, ensuring that new processes, systems, and business initiatives are designed correctly from an accounting, control, and reporting perspective from day one.

This role owns accounting-related initiatives from concept through full operational deployment, personally executing key accounting work, building scalable and compliant processes, and transitioning solutions to the operational accounting team in a turnkey, sustainable state. The Senior Project Accountant acts as a trusted partner to Finance, IT, Operations, and Process Improvement teams and is expected to bring structure, accountability, and clarity within a fast-paced, high-growth consumer products environment.

Location: Houston TX (on-site)

Key Responsibilities

Project Execution & Accounting Operations

• Perform hands-on accounting activities necessary to support new business initiatives, including journal entries, reconciliations, account mappings, reporting, and system configuration.
• Own the accounting workstream for cross-functional projects, ensuring financial processes are accurately designed, executed, and aligned with Electrolit’s reporting and control standards.
• Partner closely with the Controller, Finance leadership, Operations, IT, and external stakeholders to execute accounting deliverables tied to business growth.
• Maintain full accountability for the accuracy, completeness, and quality of all accounting outputs related to assigned initiatives.

Process Development & Optimization

• Design, document, and implement scalable accounting processes that support Electrolit’s growth, complexity, and evolving operational footprint
• Identify inefficiencies, manual workarounds, and control gaps; recommend and implement practical, sustainable improvements
• Ensure all newly developed workflows align with internal controls, compliance requirements, and segregation-of-duties standards
• Provide financial and operational insights to support continuous improvement across project-based accounting activities.

Systems & Implementation

• Support ERP and accounting system implementations, enhancements, and process changes across finance and operations
• Translate business requirements into effective accounting workflows and system configurations
• Participate in testing, validation, and go-live activities to ensure accounting accuracy and reporting integrity

Transition to Operations
