Senior Accountant

Senior Accountant

About the Opportunity Our client, a well-established, privately held company with nearly 50 years of operating history, is seeking a Senior Accountant to join its growing accounting team. The company provides solutions to major retail and food-service organizations and has built a stable, profitable business with a long-standing presence in Houston.

This is a newly created position offering significant visibility and growth potential. The Senior Accountant will work directly with the Controller and take increasing ownership of the accounting function as the Controller moves into a more strategic leadership role. For the right individual, this position offers a potential long-term path toward a Controller role.

This opportunity is ideal for a strong Senior Accountant, Lead Accountant, Accounting Supervisor, or Accounting Manager who wants broader exposure to the full accounting cycle and the opportunity to help shape and improve accounting processes.

What You'll Do

• Take ownership of the month-end close process, improving efficiency and consistency.
• Prepare and review journal entries, balance sheet reconciliations, fixed assets, inventory, expenses, and general ledger activity.
• Assist with financial and management reporting, including financial metrics used by leadership.
• Review accounting transactions and work completed by other members of the accounting team.
• Provide mentorship, training, and accounting guidance to developing accounting professionals.
• Develop stronger balance sheet reconciliation procedures, close calendars, and accounting controls.
• Identify and implement accounting process improvements.
• Partner closely with the Controller on special projects, financial analysis, and departmental initiatives.
• Gain broad exposure to the organization's accounting operations with increasing leadership responsibility.

What We're Looking For

• Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, or a related field.
• 4+ years of progressive accounting experience.
• Strong understanding of month-end close, journal entries, account reconciliations, general ledger accounting, and balance sheet analysis.
• Ability to demonstrate hands-on ownership of accounting processes rather than primarily review-level experience.
• Experience with inventory, distribution, manufacturing, or similar operational accounting environments is a plus.
• NetSuite experience is highly preferred, but not required.
• Strong attention to detail and a process-improvement mindset.
• Comfortable working in a small, collaborative, hands-on accounting environment.
• Strong communication skills with an interest in mentoring and developing others.
• Motivated by professional growth and increasing responsibility.
