The Senior Accountant is a hands-on member of the Finance & Accounting team responsible for supporting the accuracy, efficiency and reliability of the Firm's accounting operations. The role combines day-to-day accounting responsibilities with broader financial oversight and requires someone comfortable stepping directly into accounting functions across the team whenever additional capacity or coverage is needed.
The ideal candidate has strong accounting fundamentals, excellent attention to detail and a practical, solutions-oriented approach — someone equally comfortable reviewing the numbers and doing the work needed to get them right.
Key Responsibilities
We are looking for someone who sees accounting as an interconnected function rather than a collection of individual tasks. The successful candidate will take ownership of their responsibilities, understand how the pieces fit together, and be willing and able to step in wherever needed to keep the accounting function running smoothly.
