Senior Staff Accountant

About the role

A growing professional services firm in Lakeview is hiring a Senior Staff Accountant to own the month-end close and serve as the backbone of a small, collaborative finance team. Reporting directly to the Controller, you'll have real ownership of the numbers and a genuine voice in how the function scales — this isn't a seat where you're siloed on a single ledger.

What you'll do

• Own the full month-end and quarter-end close, including journal entries, accruals, and balance-sheet reconciliations
• Prepare monthly financial statements (P&L, balance sheet, cash flow) with variance analysis and commentary for leadership
• Maintain fixed-asset, prepaid, and intercompany schedules
• Lead the AP/AR review cycle and safeguard the integrity of the general ledger
• Partner with the Controller on the annual budget and rolling forecasts
• Serve as a key contact for external auditors and support year-end tax preparation
• Help migrate reporting off spreadsheets and into a modern ERP, documenting processes along the way
• Identify and implement improvements that shorten the close and reduce manual work
• Review the work of and mentor a junior accountant

Why this role

• Hybrid schedule — three days in the Lakeview office, two remote
• A clear, openly discussed path to Accounting Manager within two to three years
• A Controller who invests in the team, at a firm that treats finance as a partner rather than a back office

Compensation & benefits

• $78,000–$92,000 base, commensurate with experience, plus an annual performance bonus
• 401(k) with company match and full medical, dental, and vision coverage
• CPA exam and continuing-education support
• Generous PTO — and a culture that respects it
