Senior Accountant

Senior Accountant (Internal Controls)

We are seeking a Senior Accountant to help strengthen the company’s control environment through process documentation, risk identification, and control design. This role will work closely with cross-functional business groups to understand and document key financial and operational processes, identify gaps where controls may be needed, and advise process owners on practical control solutions.

This position is ideal for a strong accounting and internal controls professional who also has experience driving business process improvements. The successful candidate will work collaboratively with business partners to understand how processes operate in practice, document them through process narratives and flowcharts, evaluate control effectiveness, identify risks and control gaps, and help implement practical solutions, including the automation of manual activities. This role requires someone who is equally comfortable with detail-oriented documentation and broader process improvement initiatives, while bringing a proactive, problem-solving mindset. It also offers a clear growth opportunity for an individual with the ambition and potential to help build and eventually lead an internal audit function. 

What you’ll be doing:

• Partner with business and functional leaders to document and maintain end-to-end financial and operational processes.
• Develop, refine, and maintain detailed process narratives for key business cycles, ensuring documentation accurately reflects current-state activities, ownership, risks, and control points.
• Create and update process flowcharts and workflow maps to clearly illustrate end-to-end processes, handoffs, decision points, and control activities.
• Assess existing processes to identify control gaps, inefficiencies, and areas of risk.
• Recommend practical internal controls to address identified risks and improve the overall control environment.
• Advise process owners on control design, implementation, and process improvements.
• Propose and help implement process enhancements, including strengthening controls, simplifying workflows, reducing redundant steps, and standardizing procedures.
• Evaluate manual processes for opportunities to improve efficiency and control effectiveness, including the automation of manual activities where appropriate.
• Collaborate with cross-functional stakeholders to help define and support implementation of more efficient, scalable, and well-controlled future-state processes.
• Assist in redesigning processes where needed to better align with internal control expectations, operational needs, and business growth.
• Support efforts to standardize process and control documentation across the organization.
• Monitor control effectiveness and recommend enhancements as processes evolve.
• Help prepare the organization for a more formalized internal audit framework over time.
• Serve as a developing leader with the potential to grow into a broader internal controls or internal audit leadership role.

What we’re looking for:

• 5–8 years of relevant experience in accounting, internal audit, SOX, internal controls, process improvement, or risk advisory.
• Strong understanding of internal control principles, process risk assessment, and control design.
• Experience developing process narratives, flowcharts, and control documentation.
• Experience identifying process gaps and recommending practical improvements.
• Exposure to process improvement initiatives, including automation of manual processes, strongly preferred.
• Ability to work cross-functionally and influence stakeholders without direct authority.
• Strong verbal and written communication skills, including the ability to translate control concepts into practical business recommendations.
• Strong organizational skills and attention to detail.
• Demonstrated leadership potential and interest in growing into an internal audit management role.

Bonus Points:

• Public accounting or advisory experience with internal controls, SOX, or process improvement
• Internal audit experience with a focus on business process documentation and control evaluation
• Corporate accounting experience with meaningful involvement in controls, compliance, or process transformation initiatives

Education:

• Bachelor’s degree in Accounting, Finance, or related field required.
• CPA, CIA, or similar certification preferred.

Travel:

• <10%
