Description

We are looking for an experienced Senior Accountant to join a growing finance team. This role will lead core accounting activities, ensure accurate reporting across U.S. operations and international intercompany relationships, and help strengthen financial processes as the organization evolves. The ideal candidate brings strong technical accounting knowledge, sound judgment, and the ability to manage deadlines across close, compliance, and audit-related work.

Responsibilities:

  • Lead the monthly, quarterly, and year-end close process, preparing journal entries, recording accruals, and completing timely balance sheet reconciliations.

  • Manage accounting and reporting for U.S. entities while coordinating intercompany activity with global subsidiaries to maintain accurate consolidated records.

  • Analyze complex accounting matters and prepare clear documentation to support appropriate treatment under applicable standards.

  • Partner with tax advisors and internal stakeholders to assist with recurring tax filings and provide support during external audits in multiple jurisdictions.

  • Review incoming invoices for accuracy, address payment or vendor discrepancies, and oversee timely processing of supplier and employee expense payments.

  • Develop, formalize, and maintain accounting policies, internal controls, and operating procedures to support a scalable finance function.

  • Monitor general ledger activity and investigate variances or unusual transactions to improve accuracy and reporting consistency.

Requirements • Proven experience in a senior-level accounting role with ownership of month-end close activities and general ledger oversight.

  • Strong knowledge of U.S. GAAP and the ability to apply accounting guidance to non-routine or technical issues.

  • Hands-on experience preparing journal entries, reconciliations, and supporting schedules for financial reporting.

  • Background in intercompany accounting and working across legal entities or international business structures.

  • Familiarity with audit support and tax filing coordination within a multi-entity environment.

  • Ability to review accounts payable activity, resolve vendor matters, and maintain accurate payment records.

  • CPA designation required or strongly preferred, depending on equivalent depth of experience.
