Senior Accountant / Accounting Manager - Technical Accounting & Strategic Projects

Public Accounting Experience Required

Are you a public accounting professional ready to take your career beyond the traditional audit and month-end cycle?

We’re working with a growing professional services organization that partners with leading companies on complex accounting and finance initiatives. This is an opportunity to leverage your public accounting foundation while gaining hands‑on exposure to technical accounting, financial reporting, transactions, and strategic finance projects.

What You’ll Work On

Every engagement is different, giving you the opportunity to build a broad and highly marketable skill set. Projects may include:

• Technical accounting research and implementation of new accounting standards
• Financial statement preparation and review, including SEC reporting
• IPO readiness and public company reporting
• M&A, acquisitions, carve-outs, and post‑transaction integration
• Financial reporting, consolidations, and close optimization
• Internal controls and finance transformation
• Process improvement and accounting operations
• Budgeting, forecasting, and FP&A initiatives
• Special projects supporting Controllers, CFOs, and executive leadership

What We’re Looking For

• Bachelor’s degree in Accounting, Finance, or related field
• 3+ years of public accounting or relevant accounting experience
• Big 4 or national public accounting experience strongly preferred

• Strong understanding of U.S. GAAP and financial reporting
• Technical accounting, SEC reporting, or transaction experience is a plus
• Advanced Excel and strong analytical skills
• Excellent communication and relationship‑building abilities

Why Make the Move?

Instead of doing the same accounting work year after year, you’ll gain exposure to multiple companies, industries, and complex business challenges.

You’ll have the opportunity to:

• Expand beyond traditional audit and accounting
• Build expertise across technical accounting, transactions, reporting, and finance transformation
• Work directly with experienced finance leaders
• Develop a broad skill set that can accelerate your career
• Position yourself for future opportunities such as Controller, Director of Accounting, Finance Director, or CFO
• $100K-$150K base salary + bonus
• Paid time off and company holidays
• Collaborative environment with strong mentorship

If you’re a public accounting professional looking for more variety, greater exposure, and a faster path to broader accounting and finance experience, I’d love to connect.
