Direct Exposure to the Controller & CFO

Broad Role with Excellent Career Growth

Looking for a Senior Accountant role where you can do more than reconciliations and month-end close?

Our client is a successful, fourth-generation privately held company with a diverse group of businesses spanning construction, service, distribution, ecommerce and light manufacturing. They offer the stability of a long-established organization combined with a complex, fast-paced accounting environment where you'll get exposure to virtually every area of the business.

This is a particularly attractive opportunity for someone who started in public accounting and has moved into industry. You'll work directly with an experienced Controller and a new CFO, gain visibility across multiple business units, and get hands-on exposure to financial reporting, WIP and project accounting, job costing, inventory, budgeting, forecasting, systems and process improvement.

Instead of getting pigeonholed into one piece of the close, you'll have the opportunity to understand how the entire business operates and build the experience that prepares you for the next step in your career.

The company has a strong track record of stability, offers performance-based bonus potential and excellent benefits, and provides the opportunity for one work-from-home day per week after you're trained and established in the role.
