The Opportunity
Synergy Search is conducting a confidential search for a Senior Accountant on behalf of a fast growing construction and technology services company. This is a newly created role: you will be the go to technical accountant on the team, owning the general ledger and working side by side with the Controller.
If you are a public accounting senior ready to take everything you have learned into an industry seat where you own the books and can see a real path upward, this is the seat.
Why This Role Stands Out
-
Growth you can feel.
Revenue has climbed rapidly over the past few years and the accounting team is expanding to keep pace.
-
A brand new seat.
This role is being created, not backfilled, so you will shape how the general ledger is run.
-
A clear path up.
The role is designed to grow into Assistant Controller, with the opportunity to build and lead your own team.
-
Built for public accounting talent.
You will work closely with a Controller who came up through public accounting and values that foundation.
-
Broad technical exposure.
Consolidations, intercompany, leases, fixed assets, and public company reporting all run through this role.
-
Work hard, play hard culture.
A modern, high tech office and a team that celebrates its wins together.
