Accounting Lead


Salary: $75,000 to $110,000


Accounting Lead - Why This Opportunity Stands Out


We are seeking an Accounting Lead for a growing organization that offers the opportunity to step into a high-impact working lead role. This position is ideal for a Senior Accountant who is ready to expand their responsibilities by mentoring teammates, coordinating workflow, and partnering closely with finance leadership while remaining hands-on with the accounting function.


Highlights include:



  • Competitive salary of $75,000 to $110,000 (target hiring range is expected to be $90,000 to $100,000 based on experience)

  • Direct exposure to the VP of Finance and Assistant Controller

  • A clear path for continued professional growth into broader accounting leadership

  • Involvement in month-end close, financial reporting, budgeting, forecasting, audit coordination, and process improvement initiatives

  • The opportunity to help modernize accounting processes and improve efficiencies

  • Comprehensive benefits package including:

    • Medical, dental, and vision insurance

    • Employer-paid and voluntary life insurance

    • Disability insurance

    • 401(k) with company match beginning with your first contribution

    • HSA and FSA options

    • Paid time off, sick time, and company-paid holidays

    • Employee vehicle discount program




Accounting Lead - Key Responsibilities



  • Lead key components of the month-end close process, including journal entries, reconciliations, and financial reporting.

  • Support budgeting, forecasting, annual audits, and regulatory reporting while ensuring accuracy and compliance.

  • Coordinate workflow across the accounting team, mentor teammates, and serve as a resource on day-to-day accounting matters.

  • Partner with finance leadership to identify process improvements, strengthen internal controls, and support accounting system enhancements.

  • Assist with general ledger, accounts payable, accounts receivable, and other accounting functions as needed.


Accounting Lead - Qualifications



  • Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, or a related field with 3 to 6 years of progressive accounting experience.

  • Experience in a high-volume, transaction-intensive accounting environment is strongly preferred. Financial services, commercial leasing, or banking experience is highly valued. Public accounting experience is a significant plus.
