Senior Accountant (Hands On Role)

Senior Accountant (Hands-On, Full Ownership Role)

About The Role

We are a growing, high-end landscaping and outdoor living company, primarily serving Scottsdale and Paradise Valley. Our work is detail-driven, client-focused, and operationally complex.

We are looking for a hands-on Senior Accountant to take ownership of the day-to-day financial engine of the business.

This Is Not a Support Role. This Role Owns

• Accounts Receivable (AR)
• Accounts Payable (AP)
• Reconciliations
• Month-end close
• Cash visibility
  
  

You will report directly to the Head of Operations to ensure the financial side of the business runs cleanly, consistently, and without surprises.

What You’ll Own

• AR Management
• Monitor aging daily and maintain consistent follow-up
• Apply payments accurately and timely
• Communicate professionally with high-end clients
• AP Management
• Ensure vendors are paid accurately and on time
• Establish and maintain a clear payment cadence
• Prioritize payments based on business needs and cash position
• Reconciliations & Close
• Maintain clean, current bank and credit card reconciliations
• Execute a reliable month-end close process
• Ensure accuracy across all financial records
• Cash Awareness
• Maintain visibility into current and near-term cash position
• Track major inflows and outflows
• Support basic cash forecasting (no over-engineered models)
• Financial Discipline
• Identify issues early and communicate them clearly
• Bring structure to processes without overcomplicating them
  

What Success Looks Like

• AR is current, organized, and actively managed
• Vendor payments are predictable and never missed
• Books are clean and closed on schedule
• Leadership has clear, reliable visibility into cash
• Financial issues are surfaced early — not discovered late
  
  

Who This Role Is For

This Role Is a Strong Fit For Someone Who

• Wants to own the accounting function end-to-end
• Prefers a hands-on role over a segmented corporate environment
• Values stability and long-term growth within accounting
• Is comfortable working in-office with a collaborative team
• Can operate effectively without rigid, pre-built systems
  
  

Who This Role Is NOT For

This Role Is Likely Not a Fit If You

• Are primarily seeking a remote or hybrid position
• Prefer highly structured, corporate environments with rigid processes
• Are looking to move quickly out of accounting into other functions
• Prefer narrowly defined responsibilities instead of full ownership
  
  

Qualifications

• 5 years of accounting experience (small to mid-size business preferred)
• Strong experience with:
• AR / AP
• Reconciliations
• Month-end close
• Working knowledge of cash flow and basic forecasting
• Experience with QuickBooks Online (preferred)
• Strong Excel skills (comfortable working with data, not just viewing it)
  

Work Environment

We are an in-office, collaborative, and fast-moving team. Our culture is not corporate — it’s practical, accountable, and team-oriented. We work hard, communicate directly, and expect people to take ownership of their role.

Compensation

• Salary: $75,000 – $90,000 (based on experience)
• Generous PTO, medical, dental, vision, 401k w/ match
  
  

Final Note

We are looking for someone interested in a long-term role where they can grow within the accounting function and take increasing ownership as the company scales.

If you’re looking for a role where you can make an immediate impact and actually run something — not just support it — we’d like to talk.
