We’re looking for a Senior Accountant ready to take charge of critical financial processes, provide insights that drive decisions, and help shape the future of our business. This is more than a numbers job — it’s your chance to own key accounting functions and make an impact every day.

• Be the Problem-Solver: Investigate variances, resolve discrepancies, and support AP/AR processes.
• Lead Projects: Identify process improvements, implement better systems, and streamline accounting operations.

What You Bring

• Bachelor’s degree in Accounting or related field
• 5-7 years of accounting experience, including full-cycle month-end close and financial statement prep
• Advanced Excel and Microsoft Office skills; QuickBooks experience preferred
• Strong analytical mindset and attention to detail — you love digging into the numbers
• A collaborative spirit and a can-do attitude — you take ownership and get things done
• CPA is a plus, but not required

Why You’ll Love This Role

• Exciting and fun industry.
• Directly influence key business decisions and see the impact of your work
• Take ownership of meaningful projects and drive real improvements
• Work in a collaborative, supportive environment that values your ideas
• Grow your career in a role that rewards expertise, initiative, and results
• Amazing benefits with no cost for medical benefits, generous 401K contributions, free gym memberships, tuition reimbursements, extra time off end of year.

If you’re ready to step into a role where your skills matter, your insights are valued, and your impact is real, we want to hear from you!
