Senior Accountant

ABOUT THE ROLE

We’re seeking a detail-oriented and motivated Senior Accountant to join our team in a unique hybrid role that spans both finance operations and technical accounting. This position is split roughly 50/50 between owning our Accounts Payable function end-to-end and driving key components of the month-end close. It’s an ideal opportunity for someone with a strong operational AP background who has had exposure to bank reconciliations and close tasks—and is ready to deepen their technical accounting skill set.

You’ll be the go-to owner for the full AP lifecycle—vendor onboarding through payment execution—while also taking on progressively greater responsibility in the close process, including reconciliations, accruals, and supporting schedules. You’ll learn directly from seasoned teammates and play a key role on the Accounting team as we scale.

• Own the end-to-end Accounts Payable process, including invoice intake, coding, approval

routing, and timely payment execution.

reconciling items.

• Ensure complete and accurate AP cutoff at period end, including accrual of unrecorded

liabilities.

• Assist in preparing monthly, quarterly, and annual reporting requirements.

• Support the year-end audit process by preparing schedules, reconciliations, and documentation

as needed.

• Maintain accurate financial records and ensure compliance with accounting standards and

internal policies.

QUALIFICATIONS

• Bachelor’s degree in Accounting, Finance, or a related field (CPA or progress toward CPA a plus).

into deeper technical accounting work.

inquiries with speed, accuracy, and care.

WHAT MAKES YOU A GREAT FIT

• Operator’s Mindset, Accountant’s Rigor—You take pride in running a tight, efficient AP

operation while holding yourself to the precision standards of technical accounting.

• Financial Curiosity & Growth Orientation—You’re eager to expand beyond AP into the close

process, learning complex accounting structures and building toward full-cycle ownership.

• Exceptional Communication & Clarity—You articulate financial information clearly, and you

build rapport easily with vendors, teammates, and stakeholders across the business.

• Grace Under Pressure—You maintain composure and focus when managing payment runs,

close deadlines, and unexpected challenges, even when the heat is on.

• Beyond the Ledger Mentality—You’re excited to get out from behind the numbers, contributing

insights to process and business decisions and acting as a key partner to various departments.

simultaneously, seeing every payment, reconciliation, and journal entry through to a complete,

accurate outcome.

• A Positive, Coachable Mindset—You welcome feedback, are naturally curious about process

improvement, and are committed to continuous professional growth.
