Description

Kforce has a client that is Senior Accountant (Hands-On Doer/Controller Succession Track) in Clearwater, FL. The Role: The Senior Accountant will be a true operational worker bee who will roll up their sleeves, learn our wholesale distribution model from the warehouse floor up, and take ownership of daily execution. The candidate reports directly to our retiring Controller initially; succession runway directly to the CFO/Co-Owner.

Requirements:

  • 4-7+ years of hands-on GL accounting strictly within wholesale distribution, manufacturing, or physical inventory environments (landed costs, gross margin variance, freight reconciliation, inventory reserves, borrowing base/bank reconciliations)
  • No CPA needed; Operational execution, distribution grit, and advanced Excel skills matter far more than credentials
  • Experience in ERP distribution platforms (we use SouthWare) and sales tax compliance familiarity (Avalara/multi-state resale certificate handling is a strong plus)
  • Hands-on, full-cycle accounting experience - they specifically want someone who can actually perform the accounting functions, not just review other employees' work
  • Strong account reconciliation experience - must be capable of personally completing reconciliations and serving as backup when other accounting employees are unavailable
  • Broad accounting knowledge/cross-functional capability - the goal is for this person to eventually learn and back up every major function within the accounting department
  • Controller-level growth potential - they're looking for someone who can develop into the Controller role as the current Controller eventually retires
  • Willingness to be a hands-on "doer" - this sounded particularly important; The client explicitly said they don't want someone who only oversees people; They need someone willing to "get their hands dirty" and perform the work themselves
  • Ability to absorb knowledge from the current Controller - there will be a significant knowledge-transfer/succession component
  • ERP/system adaptability - they will eventually transition to Odoo, so someone comfortable learning new ERP systems and adapting accounting processes will be valuable; Prior Odoo experience is preferred, not required; The client explicitly said they will provide training

The pay range is the lowest to highest compensation we reasonably in good faith believe we would pay at posting for this role. We may ultimately pay more or less than this range. Employee pay is based on factors like relevant education, qualifications, certifications, experience, skills, seniority, location, performance, union contract and business needs. This range may be modified in the future.

We offer comprehensive benefits including medical/dental/vision insurance, HSA, FSA, 401(k), and life, disability & ADD insurance to eligible employees. Salaried personnel receive paid time off. Hourly employees are not eligible for paid time off unless required by law. Hourly employees on a Service Contract Act project are eligible for paid sick leave.

Note: Pay is not considered compensation until it is earned, vested and determinable. The amount and availability of any compensation remains in Kforce's sole discretion unless and until paid and may be modified in its discretion consistent with the law.

This job is not eligible for bonuses, incentives or commissions.
