The Ideal Senior Accountant

The ideal candidate enjoys the investigative side of accounting and isn't satisfied simply carrying forward an unexplained balance. You'll be comfortable digging into supporting detail, tracing discrepancies back to their source, and ensuring the general ledger is fully supported.

If you're a Senior Accountant with strong month-end close and balance sheet reconciliation experience who thrives in a high-volume environment, this is an opportunity to take meaningful ownership of the accounting process while joining an organization with a strong mission.
