Senior Accountant

LHH is partnering with a growing organization in the San Diego area to identify an experienced Senior Accountant to join its accounting team.

 

This is a great opportunity for an accountant who enjoys being hands-on with the numbers but also wants broader exposure and the ability to make an impact. The Senior Accountant will play a key role in the month-end close, financial reporting, reconciliations, and day-to-day accounting while partnering with leadership on process improvements and special projects.

 

This role could be a strong fit for someone who has built a solid foundation in accounting and is ready for increased ownership, visibility, and continued career growth.

 

What You'll Be Doing

• Take ownership of key areas of the monthly, quarterly, and year-end close

• Prepare and review journal entries, account reconciliations, and supporting schedules

• Assist with financial statement preparation and reporting

• Perform balance sheet and general ledger account analysis

• Research and resolve accounting discrepancies

• Support budgeting, forecasting, and variance analysis as needed

• Assist with external audits and preparation of supporting documentation

• Partner with cross-functional teams to ensure accurate financial reporting

• Identify opportunities to improve accounting processes, controls, and efficiencies

• Support special projects and additional accounting initiatives as the organization continues to grow

 

What We're Looking For

• Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, or a related field

• 3+ years of progressive accounting experience

• Strong understanding of GAAP and general ledger accounting

• Hands-on experience with month-end close, journal entries, and reconciliations

• Strong Excel skills, including experience working with large data sets

• Experience with an ERP or major accounting system

• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills

• Detail-oriented with the ability to manage multiple priorities and deadlines

• Comfortable working both independently and collaboratively

 

Why Consider This Opportunity?

• High-visibility role with exposure to accounting and finance leadership

• Opportunity to take ownership rather than simply process transactions

• Variety of responsibilities and projects

• Ability to help improve processes and build efficiencies

• Collaborative team environment

• Opportunity for continued professional growth and advancement

 

If you're a Senior Accountant who enjoys digging into the numbers, solving problems, and taking ownership of your work, we'd love to connect.
