Senior Accountant - High Growth Advisory Firm

The Opportunity

Our client is a premier boutique advisory firm founded in 2014 that provides institutional-quality business solutions to high-growth companies.

Led by a team of Big Four CPAs, MBAs, and expert project managers, the firm is known for a "clock-building" approach, creating sustainable accounting infrastructures that withstand the test of time.

Why This Role is Different

This is not a standard "check-the-box" accounting job.

This role offers direct exposure to various public and private companies, providing a level of variety and technical challenge rarely found in internal corporate roles.

• Financial Planning & Analysis: Create and customize budgets, forecasts, and specialized ad-hoc reports tailored to client needs.
• Stakeholder Engagement: Communicate directly on a daily basis with high-level clients, investors, tenants, and property managers.
• Systems Integration: Lead accounting conversions from entry-level software into enterprise-level real estate ERP systems.

Candidate Qualifications

• Experience: 3–5 years of full-cycle accounting, audit or tax experience.
• Background: Proven track record in either private industry or public accounting.
• Education: Bachelor’s degree in Accounting is required.
• Certification: CPA or close to CPA certification is rquired.

Strategic Mindset

The ideal candidate appreciates a "solutions-oriented" environment rather than just providing quick answers to satisfy immediate needs. You should be comfortable working with leadership that has deep expertise in establishing FP&A and technology departments across the country
