Senior Staff Accountant

Senior Staff Accountant
$90,000 - $105,000

A well‑established manufacturing organization in Chicago is looking for a Senior Staff accountant to join their collaborative accounting team.

This Senior Staff Accountant role offers a well-rounded blend of payroll, general ledger, cost accounting, and expense reporting responsibilities within a stable, structured environment. The position reports directly to experienced leadership and provides strong cross-functional exposure.

Why This Opportunity Stands Out:

• High visibility — role reports directly to the Director of Accounting

• Lean team where this person will have an immediate impact

• Exposure across treasury, cash management, forecasting, consolidations, and reporting

• Opportunity to travel occasionally to company locations (CA, Houston, Chicago, Detroit, Boston, Montana) for inventory control & process improvement

• Broad scope — not siloed; blends month‑end close, reporting, special projects, and operational partnership

• Upward mobility opportunities

• Company continues to grow and complete acquisitions

• Hybrid schedule with flexibility – 4 days in for training, 3 days in after

• 401(k) with 4% match

Key Responsibilities of the Senior Staff Accountant:

• Month‑end close across multiple entities
  
  • The Senior Staff Accountant will post journal entries (accruals, prepaids, intercompany, etc.)
  
  • Consolidations, intercompany reconciliations, and reporting
  
  • Cash movement across entities; treasury/cash flow forecasting support
  
  • The Senior Staff Accountant will maintain books for several administrative and real estate entities
  
  • Support internal controls, audit readiness, and process improvements
  
  • Partner with operations across 10 business units
  
  • Help streamline highly manual processes

Ideal Experience of the Senior Staff Accountant:

• Bachelor’s in Accounting or Finance

• CPA or CPA‑eligible preferred

• Strong audit background OR experience in multi‑entity manufacturing environments

• Cost/managerial accounting exposure is highly preferred

• Comfortable in fast‑moving, ambiguous, entrepreneurial environments

• Sharp, dependable, self‑motivated

• Curious, proactive problem solver

• Able to juggle shifting priorities
