LHH is seeking a Senior SEC Reporting Analyst for a fast-growing, publicly traded organization with a technology-forward approach to its industry. This is a unique opportunity for an accounting professional to play a key role in building and enhancing an SEC reporting function rather than stepping into an already-established reporting department. The ideal candidate will have 2–4 years of progressive accounting experience, preferably within SEC reporting or public accounting, along with a strong foundation in U.S. GAAP, excellent attention to detail, and an interest in developing deeper technical accounting and public-company reporting expertise.

- Assist with technical accounting research involving complex accounting matters and new FASB and SEC guidance; contribute to technical accounting memos and GAAP compliance.
- Prepare and support consolidated financial statements, including statements of cash flows, equity, and comprehensive footnote disclosures.
- Perform initial validation and review of XBRL/interactive data for SEC filings.
- Support the development, documentation, and execution of internal controls over financial reporting in a SOX-compliant environment.
- Partner with internal teams and external/internal audit resources to strengthen controls and improve reporting processes.
- Prepare audit schedules and supporting documentation for quarterly reviews and annual external audits.
- Collaborate with FP&A and Investor Relations on monthly and quarterly variance/flux analysis and information supporting MD&A.
- Partner cross-functionally with Accounting, FP&A, and business operations to validate financial statements, footnotes, MD&A, and other public disclosures.

- 2+ years of progressive accounting experience, preferably within an SEC reporting function or public accounting environment; Big 4 experience preferred.
- Foundational knowledge of U.S. GAAP and SEC reporting requirements.
- Experience or exposure to internal controls, SOX compliance, or financial reporting control frameworks preferred.
