Senior Accountant

Senior Accountant - Hybrid | Distribution Industry | Growth-Oriented Organization

Our client is a well-established and highly respected distribution company that is exceptionally well positioned for continued growth, both organically and through acquisition. As the organization continues to scale, they are adding a Senior Accountant after someone was promoted internally to play a key role in supporting core accounting operations, high-visibility benefit-related accounts, and ongoing process improvement initiatives.

This is a great opportunity for an accounting professional who enjoys a blend of traditional accounting responsibilities, project work, and exposure to senior leadership, all while gaining hands-on experience with a top-tier ERP implementation.

• Support the monthly close process, including journal entries, account reconciliations, and account analysis
• Own and manage highly visible benefit-related accounts, including medical expenses, 401(k), short-term disability, and other employee benefit programs
• Analyze activity within benefit accounts and clearly explain trends, variances, and drivers to executive leadership
• Partner with internal teams on special projects tied to growth and operational improvements
• Play an active role in the implementation and optimization of a new, enterprise-level ERP system
• Identify opportunities to improve accounting processes, controls, and reporting as the business continues to evolve
• Serve as a trusted accounting resource to leadership, providing insight, accuracy, and clarity

• High visibility with executive leadership due to ownership of critical benefit-related accounts
• ERP implementation experience with a modern, best-in-class system that is highly marketable
• Hybrid schedule that supports flexibility and work-life balance
• People-focused leadership, with a hiring manager who is invested in training, mentorship, and aligning growth opportunities with the candidate’s interests

• Bachelor’s degree in Accounting or a related field
• Experience in general ledger accounting, month-end close, and account reconciliations
• Strong analytical skills with the ability to explain financial activity to non-accounting stakeholders
• Comfort working with sensitive, high-importance accounts where accuracy and discretion matter
• Interest in process improvement, systems, and continuous learning
• ERP experience or exposure is a plus, but not required
• Public accounting or distribution industry experience is helpful, but not mandatory

This role is ideal for someone who wants to continue building a strong accounting foundation while gaining exposure to leadership, systems, and strategic initiatives. The hiring manager is genuinely committed to developing this person and shaping the role around areas where the candidate wants to grow.
