About the Role

An established service organization is seeking a Senior Staff Accountant to lead the month-end close process and support the Assistant Controller by overseeing a small accounting team. This is a newly consolidated role—ideal for someone with strong accounting skills and a proactive mindset who’s ready to grow into a supervisory position.

You’ll take ownership of financial accuracy and process management, while guiding entry-level staff accountants and bookkeepers. This is a hands-on role for someone detail-oriented, self-directed, and eager to take on responsibility.

Key Responsibilities

• Month-End Close & Financial Oversight

  • Own the month-end close process: reconciliations, journal entries, reporting

  • Review work completed by staff bookkeepers and support data accuracy

  • Ensure deadlines are met and financials are clean and on time

• Team Support & Light Management

  • Serve as a point of contact for 1–2 junior staff (bookkeepers, staff accountants)

  • Provide guidance, feedback, and informal leadership

  • No prior management required — just readiness to take responsibility

• Operational Finance & Tools

  • Use QuickBooks and Excel (must be proficient in formulas and data analysis)

  • Help streamline processes and support the Assistant Controller with finance ops

  • Maintain clear, well-organized documentation and processes

What We’re Looking For

• Must-Haves

  • Solid accounting experience (industry agnostic — healthcare, nonprofit, etc. all okay)

  • Strong QuickBooks skills and comfort working with spreadsheets

  • Self-starter who’s comfortable taking ownership without micromanagement

  • Willingness and readiness to supervise others (even if not done before)

  • Highly dependable, accurate, and able to prioritize tasks independently
