Job description
Senior Accountant
$85,000–$95,000 + Outstanding Benefits
Looking for a Senior Accountant opportunity where you can own the accounting process, deepen your technical accounting skills, and build a long-term career with a financially strong organization?
We're partnering with a well-established, privately held Midwest organization that has built a reputation for stability, integrity, and long-term success. They're seeking a Senior Accountant to join their corporate accounting team and play a key role in the month-end close, financial reporting, and general ledger accounting functions.
This is an excellent opportunity for an accounting professional who enjoys taking ownership, solving accounting challenges, and working alongside an experienced, collaborative finance team. You'll gain exposure to technical accounting matters, including lease accounting and inventory-related accounting, while helping drive accurate financial reporting and continuous process improvements.
What You'll Do
Own general ledger accounts, including journal entries, reconciliations, and supporting analysis
Play a key role in the month-end and year-end close process
Prepare accurate and timely financial reporting that supports business operations
Apply U.S. GAAP to a variety of accounting transactions, including accruals, fixed assets, inventory, and lease accounting
Support lease accounting activities under ASC 842, including new leases, modifications, and terminations
Prepare balance sheet reconciliations, research variances, and resolve discrepancies
Assist with cash management and treasury-related accounting activities
Support internal and external audits by preparing schedules and required documentation
Identify opportunities to improve accounting processes, internal controls, and reporting efficiencies
Partner with operational and finance leaders to ensure accurate financial information
What You Bring
Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, or a related field
3+ years of progressive accounting experience
Strong experience with general ledger accounting and month-end close
Solid understanding of U.S. GAAP
Experience preparing journal entries, reconciliations, and financial reporting
Advanced Microsoft Excel skills
Strong analytical, organizational, and problem-solving abilities
Ability to manage multiple priorities while maintaining exceptional attention to detail
Preferred Qualifications
CPA or actively pursuing CPA certification
Experience with ASC 842 lease accounting
Exposure to inventory accounting, manufacturing, distribution, construction, or industrial environments
Experience working within a large ERP system
Why This Opportunity Stands Out
Join a financially strong, privately held organization with an outstanding reputation and exceptional employee tenure
Take ownership of meaningful accounting responsibilities rather than simply supporting the close process
Gain valuable exposure to technical accounting and complex accounting transactions
Work alongside an experienced, collaborative accounting team that values professional development
Excellent long-term career growth opportunities within a large, diversified organization
Outstanding benefits and a culture built around employee success
Compensation & Benefits
Competitive base salary: $85,000–$95,000
Comprehensive medical, dental, vision, and life insurance
401(k) with company contribution and company match
Generous PTO plus paid holidays
Health Savings Account (HSA) with employer contribution
Paid parental leave
Tuition reimbursement and professional development assistance
Employee Assistance Program and wellness benefits
