About The Opportunity

If you’re a seasoned accountant who loves stepping into fast‑moving environments, fixing what’s broken, and building what doesn’t exist yet — this role is designed for you.

We’re a growing startup at a pivotal stage, and we’re looking for a part‑time Senior Accountant who thrives in a consulting-style engagement: autonomy, flexibility, and the chance to make a visible impact without being tied to a full-time seat.

You won’t just “keep the books.” You’ll architect the accounting function, elevate financial operations, and influence how the business scales — all while maintaining control over your schedule.

This is the ideal role for a consultant who enjoys variety, independence, and meaningful ownership.

What You’ll Own & Lead

Month-End Close Leadership

• Run a smooth, reliable monthly close (2‑week timeline)
• Prepare and post key journal entries (payroll, accruals, amortization, etc.)
• Maintain prepaid, fixed asset, and other core schedules
• Support quarterly revenue recognition, including grant-related reporting
• Deliver accurate monthly and quarterly financial statements
• Partner with external accountants, auditors, and tax teams
  
  

Procure-to-Pay & AP Oversight

• Manage ~100 invoices/month with 2‑ and 3‑way PO matching
• Oversee the AP inbox and ensure timely routing, coding, and approvals
• Handle complex invoices (service construction-related)
• Run weekly payment cycles and maintain strong vendor relationships
• Bring structure and clarity to procurement and purchasing workflows
  
  

Process Improvement & Systems Optimization

• Identify inefficiencies and streamline P2P and accounting workflows
• Strengthen integrations between ADP, QuickBooks Online, and other systems
• Build scalable processes, documentation, and internal controls
• Automate manual tasks to reduce errors and increase efficiency
• Partner directly with leadership to support operational scale
  
  

A Typical Day Might Include

• Reviewing and processing invoices in the AP queue
• Reconciling bank, credit card, and balance sheet accounts
• Updating prepaid, fixed asset, and amortization schedules
• Supporting weekly payment runs
• Preparing grant-related cost tracking reports
• Contributing to month-end close and ongoing system improvements
  
  

Required

What You Bring

• Bachelor’s degree in Accounting (or equivalent experience)
• Strong experience with procure-to-pay and AP workflows
• Hands-on experience with cloud-based accounting systems
• Advanced Excel skills
• A proactive, solutions-oriented mindset
  
  

Nice to Have

• Startup or high-growth environment experience
• Familiarity with P2P tools or system implementations
• Exposure to government grants or cost tracking
• Experience with construction or service-based billing
• Coupa or NetSuite experience
  
  

Why Consultants Love This Role

• True flexibility — design a schedule that fits your life
• High-impact ownership — you shape the accounting function, not just maintain it
• Strategic visibility — work directly with leadership and influence decisions
• Build, improve, and optimize — perfect for someone who enjoys creating order from chaos
• Meaningful work without full-time hours
  
  

Who Thrives Here

You’re someone who enjoys rolling up your sleeves, diagnosing problems, and building better systems. You like bringing clarity to ambiguity and balancing hands-on execution with strategic thinking. If you want a consulting-style role where your expertise is valued and your impact is visible, you’ll feel right at home.

If you want, I can also create a shorter, punchier version for job boards or a more polished version for a careers page.
