Our client, a respected and growing organization in the design, manufacturing and distribution space, is seeking a detail-oriented and proactive Senior Accountant to join their finance team. Reporting directly to the Controller, this position offers a dynamic mix of hands-on accounting responsibilities, from inventory and payroll to journal entries and tax filings. This is a fantastic opportunity for an experienced finance professional who thrives in a fast-paced environment and wants to make an immediate impact.

What You'll Be Doing:
In this highly visible role, you’ll take the lead on a variety of accounting and operational functions, including:

• Managing and maintaining the general ledger, project codes, and department accounts

• Setting up and reviewing posting groups to ensure system accuracy

• Overseeing bank reconciliations and validating daily reports

• Calculating monthly fringe benefits and handling reclass entries

• Preparing monthly payroll accruals and managing payroll tax returns

• Administering 1099 records and ensuring timely submission

• Uploading ACH and POSPAY files through the bank’s online platform

• Leading inventory cycle counts and reconciling discrepancies with warehouse supervisors

• Providing backup support across the accounting department as needed

• Tackling special projects and miscellaneous duties as assigned

What We're Looking For:

• A bachelor’s degree in Accounting or Finance

• CPA designation strongly preferred

• 5–10 years of progressive accounting experience, ideally in a complex environment

• Strong command of Microsoft Excel and familiarity with other MS Office applications

• Demonstrated ability to learn new systems quickly with minimal supervision

• Excellent organizational, analytical, and communication skills

• A detail-driven mindset with the ability to reconcile data and meet tight deadlines

Why This Role Stands Out:
This is not your run-of-the-mill accounting job. Our client offers a collaborative team environment where your input matters and your expertise will be valued. If you love balancing numbers, fine-tuning processes, and making systems more efficient—all while supporting a mission-driven business—this could be your next career move.
