About the Role

We are seeking a Senior Accountant with a strong technical accounting foundation to join our Finance & Accounting team. This role owns complex accounting research and application, supports external financial reporting, and serves as a key point of contact for reporting to our private equity sponsor and other institutional investors. You'll work closely with the Controller, FP&A, and external auditors to ensure accurate, timely, and well-supported financial reporting as the company scales.

Key Responsibilities
  • Research, interpret, and document the accounting treatment for complex and non-routine transactions (revenue recognition, leases, debt/equity instruments, business combinations, impairment, stock-based compensation) under US GAAP.
  • Draft technical accounting memos and position papers, and present conclusions to management and external auditors.
  • Prepare and review external financial statements, footnotes, and disclosures in accordance with US GAAP; support quarterly and annual audit processes.
  • Own or support monthly/quarterly reporting packages for private equity sponsor and investor stakeholders, including financial statements, KPIs, covenant compliance schedules, and variance commentary.
  • Partner with FP&A and the deal/portfolio team to respond to ad hoc investor data requests and board reporting needs.
  • Monitor emerging accounting standards (ASU/ASC updates) and assess and document their impact on the company's financial statements.
  • Assist with technical accounting aspects of M&A activity, including purchase accounting and integration of acquired entities.
  • Maintain and improve internal controls, accounting policies, and process documentation to support a scalable, audit-ready close process.
  • Collaborate cross-functionally with Legal, Tax, and Treasury on transactions with accounting implications.
  • Mentor junior accounting staff and contribute to process improvement initiatives within the close and reporting cycle.
Qualifications
  • Bachelor's degree in Accounting or Finance; CPA required (or actively pursuing).
  • 4–7 years of progressive accounting experience, including public accounting (Big 4 or large regional firm) and/or a technical accounting role in industry.
  • Strong working knowledge of US GAAP, including revenue recognition (ASC 606), leases (ASC 842), and business combinations (ASC 805).
  • Experience preparing or supporting external financial statements and audit deliverables.
  • Excellent written communication skills, with the ability to draft clear, well-supported technical memos.
  • Strong Excel skills; experience with ERP systems (Dynamics BC) preferred.
  • Highly organized, detail-oriented, and comfortable managing multiple deadlines in a fast-paced, private-equity-owned environment.
  • Prior experience in a PE-backed company or preparing reporting packages for private equity/institutional investors, strongly preferred.
  • Familiarity with covenant compliance reporting, credit agreement requirements, and sponsor reporting timelines is a plus.
What Success Looks Like in the First Year
  • Technical accounting memos are complete, well-researched, and require minimal auditor follow-up.
  • Sponsor/investor reporting packages are delivered accurately and on schedule each month/quarter.
  • Trusted as a go-to resource for new or complex transactions requiring GAAP research.
  • Contributes to a smoother, faster close and audit process through improved documentation and controls.
