About the Company
Our client is a growing accounting services business serving small and mid-sized companies. As its client base expands, the team is hiring another senior accountant to take ownership of client accounts.
About the Role
We’re looking for a hands-on Senior Accountant who can own the month-end close and see the full picture across a client’s general ledger. You’ll report to the hiring manager, work across approximately 4–6 clients, and oversee 1–2 bookkeepers. For roughly the first 90 days, the role will be 80–85% hands-on with the close; over time, it will shift toward more review and delegation.
You Will
Own the month-end close and maintain accurate books and general ledgers.
Review accounting work and, as you learn each client’s processes, delegate work to the team.
Maintain existing forecast models.
Work across multiple client accounts and meet reporting deadlines.
Help improve accounting processes and work with automation tools as the company adopts them.
About You
Your Background
5+ years of accounting experience, including hands-on month-end close ownership.
Experience working across the general ledger, rather than only one specialized area.
Strong attention to detail and organization; able to work independently and meet deadlines.
English fluency for client interactions.
Comfortable taking a hands-on approach, thinking beyond checklists, and connecting the dots across accounting work.
Nice to Have
Experience with U.S. companies (strongly preferred) or familiarity with US GAAP.
Accounting firm or other multi-client experience; in-house experience is also welcome.
Experience in e-commerce, insurance, investments, or VC/PE-backed businesses.
Exposure to Xero, QuickBooks, NetSuite, or Power BI.
Interest or experience in process automation, or the ability to build forecast models from scratch.
A bachelor’s degree, CPA-type certification, or Python experience. None is required.
Compensation & Perks
Compensation: 5,000–6,250 USD/month
Up to two weeks of PTO.
U.S. public holidays, with the option to swap them for local public holidays.
Flexible working hours with relevant Eastern Time overlap.
