About Our Client

Our client-an aggressively scaling, PE‑backed professional services organization-is seeking a Senior Accountant to join its rapidly evolving finance function. This is an exceptional opportunity for someone who thrives in a high-growth, high-change, start-up like environment and wants to help build accounting infrastructure from the ground up.

The company is in a period of heavy acquisition activity, integrating multiple entities annually, and building its first fully mature back-office function. This role is critical to that effort.

If you're someone who excels in ambiguity, enjoys process creation, and wants meaningful ownership over month-end close, financial reporting, and audit readiness, this is a fantastic next step.

Job Description

Senior Accountant Responsibilities:

  • Own monthly close responsibilities across multiple entities
  • Prepare journal entries, prepaids, accruals, and fixed asset activity
  • Complete monthly account reconciliations and maintain GL accuracy
  • Support external audit preparation and work directly with a Big 4 partner
  • Track and monitor compliance-related documentation
  • Assist in building a standardized financial reporting package
  • Support accounting integration for newly acquired entities
  • Work on opening balance sheets, working capital adjustments, and onboarding into internal workflows
  • Help shape scalable processes as the organization continues to acquire and consolidate businesses
  • Support system integrations and process improvement initiatives
  • Help design new accounting workflows as the finance function matures
