Senior Accountant Consultant

Part-Time Senior Accountant Consulting

High-impact fractional work for someone who loves building clarity, structure, and better systems

About The Opportunity

If you enjoy stepping into an organization, assessing what’s working (and what isn’t), and building smarter, more scalable processes, this role is designed for you. You’ll join a growing startup at a pivotal moment—where your expertise will directly shape how the accounting function operates today and scales for tomorrow.

This is not a traditional in-house role. It’s ideal for a consultant-minded accountant who thrives on variety, autonomy, and the satisfaction of creating order in a fast-moving environment. You’ll own key processes, advise leadership, and drive improvements that have immediate, visible impact.

How You’ll Add Value

Lead & Elevate the Month-End Close

• Own a streamlined monthly close (2-week timeline)
• Prepare and review journal entries (payroll, accruals, amortization, etc.)
• Maintain prepaid and fixed asset schedules
• Support quarterly revenue recognition, including grant-related reporting
• Deliver accurate monthly and quarterly financials
• Partner with external accountants, auditors, and tax teams
  
  

Strengthen Procure-to-Pay & AP Operations

• Oversee ~100 invoices/month, including 2- and 3-way PO matching
• Manage the AP inbox, routing, coding, and approvals
• Handle complex service and construction-related invoices
• Run weekly payments and maintain vendor relationships
• Bring structure and consistency to procurement workflows
  
  

Drive Process, Systems, and Workflow Improvements

• Improve integrations between ADP, QuickBooks Online, and other systems
• Build and document scalable processes and internal controls
• Automate manual tasks to reduce risk and increase efficiency
• Advise leadership on accounting best practices and operational scale
  
  

What a Typical Day Might Include

• Reconciling bank, credit card, and balance sheet accounts
• Updating key schedules (prepaids, fixed assets, amortization)
• Supporting weekly payment runs
• Preparing grant-related cost tracking reports
• Contributing to month-end close and ongoing system enhancements
  
  

Required

What You Bring

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

Nice to Have

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

Why This Role Appeals to Consultant-Minded Accountants

• Part-time flexibility with the ability to own meaningful work
• High-impact scope—you’re not just maintaining processes, you’re building them
• Strategic visibility and direct partnership with leadership
• A chance to shape the accounting function during a critical growth stage
• Variety and autonomy—ideal for someone who enjoys fractional or consulting-style engagements
  
  

Who Thrives Here

You’re someone who enjoys diagnosing problems, designing better systems, and bringing clarity to ambiguity. You like balancing hands-on execution with strategic thinking. You’re energized by improving processes, not just following them.

If you want a flexible, impactful role where your expertise directly influences how a company grows, this is a strong match.
