Senior Accountant
$90K-$110K Base | Private Equity-Backed Growth Platform | Columbus Area
We’re partnering with a rapidly growing, private equity-backed organization to identify a Senior Accountant who will play a key role in supporting a multi-entity accounting environment. This position offers broad exposure to financial reporting, project accounting, fixed assets, acquisitions, and operational finance while providing significant opportunities for professional growth.
This is an excellent opportunity for an accountant who enjoys taking ownership, improving processes, and working closely with leadership in a dynamic, growth-oriented environment.
Why This Role Stands Out
Private Equity-Backed Growth – Be part of an organization actively expanding through both organic growth and acquisitions.
High Visibility Position – Work directly with finance leadership and cross-functional teams across the business.
Acquisition Exposure – Gain hands-on experience supporting acquisition integration, process standardization, and financial diligence activities.
Career Advancement Opportunity – Step into a role where responsibilities can expand significantly as the organization continues to scale.
Broad Business Impact – Move beyond traditional accounting responsibilities and contribute to operational, strategic, and process improvement initiatives.
Collaborative Culture – Partner with accounting, operations, project management, and executive leadership teams.
Key Responsibilities
Support monthly, quarterly, and annual close processes across multiple entities.
Prepare and review journal entries, account reconciliations, accruals, and financial adjustments.
Maintain ownership of balance sheet accounts and resolve reconciling items in a timely manner.
Assist with preparation of financial statements and management reporting packages.
Perform variance analysis and investigate unexpected financial results.
Ensure compliance with GAAP, internal controls, and company accounting policies.
Support external audits, tax reporting, and compliance requirements.
Participate in project accounting activities, including job costing, contract billing, WIP reporting, and profitability analysis.
Partner with operational teams to ensure accurate revenue recognition and project cost reporting.
Manage fixed asset accounting, including additions, disposals, transfers, depreciation, and reconciliations.
Support accounting for equipment financing, leases, capital expenditures, and asset sales.
Assist with acquisition accounting, financial due diligence support, integration activities, and systems implementations.
Identify and implement process improvements that increase efficiency, strengthen controls, and improve reporting accuracy.
Mentor junior accounting staff and serve as a resource for accounting and operational teams.
What We're Looking For
Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, or related field.
5+ years of progressive accounting experience.
Strong understanding of GAAP and financial reporting principles.
Experience with month-end close, account reconciliations, journal entries, and balance sheet management.
Experience within construction, infrastructure, industrial services, manufacturing, field services, or other project-based industries preferred.
Knowledge of job cost accounting, contract billing, and work-in-progress (WIP) reporting preferred.
Experience with fixed asset accounting and capital expenditure management preferred.
Multi-entity accounting experience preferred.
Exposure to acquisitions, integrations, ERP implementations, or private equity-backed environments is a plus.
CPA designation or progress toward certification preferred.
Advanced Microsoft Excel skills and strong ERP systems experience.
Compensation
Base Salary: $90,000-$110,000
Bonus: Performance-based bonus opportunity
Benefits: Comprehensive healthcare, retirement plan, and paid time off package
Growth: Significant advancement potential within a rapidly expanding organization
Exposure: Opportunity to participate in acquisitions, integrations, and strategic finance initiatives
This role is ideal for an ambitious accounting professional seeking a platform that offers visibility, growth, and the opportunity to make a meaningful impact within a fast-growing organization.
