Sr. Accountant - (Lead the Accounting Function for a Privately-Held Company) Description

Our client in the B2B technology services industry is looking for a Senior Accountant to join their team in Montvale, NJ (25 employees' company-wide). Their current Senior Accountant will be retiring later this year, creating an excellent opportunity for someone looking to join a close-knit team and make a long-term impact. As the Senior Accountant, you will serve as the company's lead accounting professional, partnering closely with the CEO to ensure overall financial accuracy while managing daily accounting functions. Although this is an individual contributor role, you will provide guidance and support to two team members responsible for the day-to-day A/P and A/R functions, allowing you to spend the majority of your time on higher-level accounting responsibilities including general ledger activities, reconciliations, journal entries, month-end close, financial reporting. Success in this role requires a strong accounting foundation, advanced Excel skills, and the ability to work within sophisticated accounting systems. Although this role is focused on higher-level accounting responsibilities, they're ultimately a small business where everyone pitches in when needed. Their team places a high value on the relationships built by working together in person each day. They're looking for someone who enjoys collaborating, building personal connections with the team, and stepping in wherever they can add value. To our client, culture is everything. Their CEO invests heavily in her team, values work/life balance, and consistently recognizes employee contributions.
