Location: Greater Tampa Bay | Hybrid | Local Candidates Only
We are seeking a driven and analytically curious Senior Accountant to join a rapidly growing organization with real momentum behind it. The organization has built a close-knit accounting function where collaboration is the standard and drama simply is not part of the equation. Leadership is approachable, invested, and genuinely committed to developing the professionals on the team. The organization recognizes extra effort in tangible ways and extends meaningful flexibility when life outside of work needs attention. This seat carries a defined runway into a management role for the professional who earns it, making it an ideal fit for someone with ambition and a long-term view. The person hired will gain broad exposure across the close cycle, financial reporting, and cross-functional partnership, including regular collaboration with a global accounting team. This is an environment built for critical thinkers who enjoy digging into the details and take pride in getting the numbers right. Successful completion of background, drug, and reference checks required!
Responsibilities:
- Manage designated segments of the monthly close through completion within the published timeline
- Develop and record advanced journal entries covering estimates, timing adjustments, and cost allocations
- Complete periodic general ledger reconciliations and substantiate each balance with organized documentation
- Examine period-over-period fluctuations and articulate the operational factors behind them
- Administer close calendars, task trackers, and hand-off protocols as the function continues to scale
- Evaluate the close cycle for inefficiencies and propose remedies that reduce turnaround while preserving accuracy
- Provide a final quality review of monthly financial results prior to distribution to leadership
- Apply GAAP and internal policy consistently, maintaining control requirements throughout each cycle
- Compile recurring reporting packages along with the underlying supporting schedules
- Prepare audit deliverables and respond to inquiries from internal and external reviewers
- Advance assigned workstreams through the annual close and preparation of year-end financial statements
- Coordinate with departments outside of accounting to obtain the inputs required for a complete close
Requirements:
- Bachelor's degree in Accounting or Finance required
- 4+ years of accounting experience across public, industry, or a combination of both preferred
- CPA (can be in progress) and/or MBA preferred
- Demonstrated hands-on ownership of close activities
- Proven capacity to manage concurrent deadlines without compromising accuracy
- Advanced Excel proficiency, including large data set analysis and account substantiation
- Working knowledge of a large-scale ERP platform
- Effective communicator capable of engaging confidently with non-financial stakeholders
- Collaborative, even-tempered approach and a genuine team-first orientation
Why You'll Love Working Here:
- Genuine team-first culture within a highly supportive environment
- Defined promotional path into a management role for a strong performer
- Direct exposure to leadership and broad visibility across the accounting function
- Leadership that recognizes and rewards employees who go above and beyond
- Solid benefits package
