Ready to leave public accounting without leaving behind meaningful work?

If you've mastered the month-end close, survived your share of busy seasons, and are looking for an opportunity where you can make a real impact - not just move from client to client - we'd love to meet you.

The Wellsville Group is looking for a Senior Accountant to join our growing Finance team. This is an opportunity to step into a highly visible role supporting a multi-entity organization, partnering with leaders across the business, and helping shape the future of our accounting processes.

If you enjoy solving complex accounting challenges, improving systems, and want your work to influence business decisions, this could be the next step in your career.

What You'll Do

• Leading month-end, quarter-end, and year-end close activities
• Preparing and reviewing journal entries and account reconciliations
• Managing intercompany accounting and consolidations across multiple entities
• Preparing financial statements and supporting schedules
• Assisting with budgeting, forecasting, and financial analysis
• Supporting internal and external audits
• Identifying opportunities to improve processes, strengthen controls, and drive efficiencies
• Collaborating with leaders throughout the organization to support informed business decisions

This is more than transactional accounting - you'll help improve how we operate.

We'd Love to Meet Someone Who

• Has 3-5+ years of progressive accounting experience (public accounting experience is a huge plus!)
• Has a Bachelor's degree in Accounting or Finance
• Has a strong understanding of GAAP
• Loves solving problems and improving processes
• Enjoys working with large data sets and Excel
• Thrives in a fast-paced, collaborative environment
• Wants to continue growing professionally rather than staying in the same role year after year

Experience with multi-entity accounting is helpful, but if you've developed strong accounting fundamentals in public accounting and are looking to make your first move into industry, we'd love to talk.

Why The Wellsville Group?

We're a family-owned company with nearly 400 employees across three states, and we've built our reputation by investing in our people.

Here You'll Find

• Competitive compensation
• Medical, dental & vision insurance
• 401(k) with company match
• Paid Time Off & paid holidays
• Employee discounts
• Ongoing professional development
• A collaborative team that values your ideas
• A company committed to promoting from within

Most importantly, this role has room to grow. As our business continues to expand, this position offers the opportunity to take on greater responsibility and develop toward future leadership opportunities within Finance.

If you're ready to trade busy season for business impact, we'd love to hear from you.

Join a company where your expertise is valued, your ideas matter, and your career can continue to grow.
