Senior Accountant
A high-impact opportunity for a CPA or public accounting professional ready to step into a strategic finance role.
About the Opportunity
Banyan Search is partnering with a well-established, growth-oriented company to find a sharp Senior Accountant ready to make an impact. This isn’t just a close-the-books role — it’s a seat at the table where your analysis and insights will directly inform leadership decisions.
With a hybrid schedule (just two days in office per week), you’ll enjoy the flexibility of remote work without sacrificing the collaboration and visibility that come with being part of a dynamic finance team. If you’re a CPA, a current or former public accounting professional, or a corporate accountant with strong GAAP instincts and a desire to stretch into budgeting and strategic analysis — this is your opportunity.
What You’ll Do
Own the monthly close process, including journal entries, accruals, and reconciliations
Drive corporate expense budgeting, forecasting, and variance analysis
Deliver meaningful financial insights to senior leadership — not just numbers, but the story behind them
Prepare ad hoc financial analysis and reporting in support of key business decisions
Partner cross-functionally with business stakeholders on planning and reporting initiatives
Champion process improvements that increase accuracy, efficiency, and close cycle speed
Support budgeting and planning system maintenance and enhancements
Ensure adherence to internal controls and GAAP standards
What You’ll Bring
Bachelor’s degree in Accounting, Finance, or related field
3+ years of accounting experience; public accounting background strongly preferred
CPA license (or active candidate) highly valued
Advanced Excel skills and proficiency with ERP/accounting systems
Strong analytical mindset with the ability to communicate financial results clearly
Experience with budgeting or FP&A tools is a plus
Candidate must be authorized to work in the US without current or future sponsorship requirements.
