Our client, a national, private equity-backed services company that has grown by acquiring strong regional operators across the country, is seeking a Senior Accountant for its corporate accounting team. Reporting to the Accounting Manager, you will handle core parts of the monthly close, keep the balance sheet clean, track cash every day and help improve processes as new companies join the business. It's a hands-on position with real variety: close work, audit support and multi-entity accounting, plus a say in how the close gets faster and more automated.

Key Responsibilities

·       Prepare and post journal entries for the month-, quarter- and year-end close, including accruals, prepaids, fixed assets and payroll entries.

·       Check cash daily and work with AR and AP so every deposit and payment is recorded accurately and on time.

·       Reconcile balance sheet accounts, research variances and clear out older open items.

·       Manage intercompany entries and reconciliations across multiple entities and business units.

·       Review P&L and balance sheet changes each month and explain anything significant or unusual.

·       Help prepare monthly financial statements and management reports.

·       Support the accounting for acquisitions, new locations and integration work.

·       Prepare schedules and support for the annual audit, and assist with tax, insurance and bank reporting as needed.

·       Work with AP, AR, Payroll, FP&A and operations to resolve accounting questions.

·       Document policies and procedures, keep controls in place and look for ways to speed up and automate the close.

·       Serve as a go-to resource for junior accounting staff.

 

What Makes This Position Awesome

·       A corporate headquarters position at a national company. Your work pulls together results from operating companies across the country.

·       Acquisition experience most senior accountants never get. The company keeps adding operating companies, and you'll help bring new entities onto the books.

·       Real room to improve things. Process, automation and system projects are part of the job.

·       A chance to mentor junior team members and build leadership experience.

·       Close working relationships with finance leadership and the operations side of the business.

Qualifications

·       3+ years of progressive accounting experience in public accounting, corporate accounting or both.

·       Solid working knowledge of U.S. GAAP.

·       Hands-on month-end close experience: journal entries, reconciliations and financial statement preparation.

·       Strong Excel skills, including pivot tables, lookups and analyzing large data sets.

·       Experience with an ERP system; cloud-based ERP experience a plus.

·       Multi-entity, multi-location experience a plus.

·       Private equity-backed or high-growth company experience a plus.

·       Experience in field services or a similar multi-location operating business a plus.

·       Experience with acquisitions or post-acquisition integration a plus.

·       Detail-oriented and organized, and able to manage deadlines with limited supervision.

·       A clear communicator who works well with both finance and operations teams.
