Job description

*Role starts on-site daily, with potential flex for hybrid once ramped up

We are representing a dynamic, PE-backed organization in the Portland area that is currently navigating an exciting phase of expansion following a major strategic acquisition. This is not a "maintenance" role; we are looking for a high-energy Staff Accountant to act as a key contributor in harmonizing financial workflows and building a scalable accounting infrastructure.

If you enjoy the "build" phase of a department and want direct visibility to executive leadership, this is the seat for you.

What Makes this one Great?!

• Direct Visibility: You’ll work closely with the finance leadership team during a critical integration phase.
• Career Pathing: As the company scales through further acquisitions, your role is positioned for upward mobility.
• Stability & Growth: Competitive base salary, comprehensive benefits, and a structured bonus program.

Core Impact Areas

• Full-Cycle Accounting: Own the month-end, quarter-end, and year-end close processes, including complex accruals and journal entries.
• Operational Integrity: Manage fixed asset schedules, depreciation, and balance sheet reconciliations to ensure a "clean" post-integration ledger.
• Process Engineering: Identify gaps in current reporting workflows and assist in ERP enhancements to improve data integrity.
• Strategic Reporting: Partner with finance leadership to provide variance analysis and internal audit schedules that drive business decisions.
• Cross-Functional Support: Work alongside operational teams to streamline Accounts Receivable and ensure GAAP compliance across all business units.

Required

• BS level degree (or higher) in Accounting, Finance, or related
• 3+ years’ Accounting
• The Mindset: You are a "process-first" thinker who thrives in evolving environments where the playbook is still being written.
