LHH is partnering with a large global organization in the Portland area to hire a Senior Accountant.

Compensation: $90K–$100K 5% bonus
Location: Remote available | Hybrid available | local candidates preferred
- Preferred locations: OR, WA, ID, UT, CO, NV, AZ

The Requirements

The Role
As Senior Accountant, you’ll join a global accounting team and take meaningful ownership of the close while building experience beyond the traditional general ledger. Your core responsibilities will include journal entries, reconciliations, accruals, and account analysis, with additional exposure to fixed assets, leases, debt, cash activity, intercompany accounting, and other technical areas.
What makes this opportunity especially interesting is the work outside of the recurring close. You’ll support audit requests, financial statement schedules, year-end initiatives, and special projects, with the chance to dig into new accounting issues as they arise. The team is looking for someone who doesn’t just complete a reconciliation, but understands what’s behind the numbers, asks thoughtful questions, and takes ownership when something doesn’t look right.
For someone who has developed a strong accounting foundation and wants to keep building on it, this position offers the chance to work closely with experienced accounting leaders, expand your technical range, and gradually take on broader responsibilities.
The Company
Our client is an established global organization with a complex, multi-entity structure and accounting teams in the U.S. and internationally. The company continues to invest in its business and strengthen the technical capabilities of its accounting function.
The team offers strong mentorship, exposure to a variety of accounting areas, and opportunities to grow as the organization evolves. This role would be a good fit for someone who values collaboration but is also comfortable working independently, navigating changing priorities, and taking initiative without needing significant day-to-day direction.
The Package
- Base Salary: $90K–$100K
- Annual Bonus: 5% target
- Retirement: 401(k) with a 100% match on the first 3% contributed
- Benefits: Multiple medical, dental, and vision plan options
