Senior Accountant

About Assistantly

Assistantly partners with high-growth founders and leadership teams to place experienced professionals into long-term, high-impact roles.

Our Senior Accountants are embedded directly with growth-stage businesses and leadership teams who need technically strong, independent operators. You’ll work closely with decision-makers, operate with clear standards, and receive structured support from Assistantly to ensure long-term success.

This is not freelance or short-term work. It’s a dedicated, full-time role designed for meaningful impact, stability, and professional growth.

About the Role

We’re seeking a Senior Accountant to support a fast-scaling business. This role is designed for someone who can step in with confidence, operate independently, and add value quickly without extensive ramp time.

You’ll work across accounting, reporting, analytics, and process improvement—owning your lane while contributing to broader financial decision-making.

If you thrive in fast-paced environments, enjoy solving complex problems, and can clearly explain what you did, why you did it, and the outcome, this role may be a strong fit.

  • Execute senior-level accounting beyond basic AP/AR or routine GL work

Non-Negotiables

  • 3+ years senior-level accounting experience with hands-on technical depth
  • Ability to operate independently with minimal onboarding or hand-holding
  • Strong experience with technical accounting concepts (accruals, revenue recognition, leases, etc.)
  • Advanced Excel skills (XLOOKUP/VLOOKUP, INDEX/MATCH, SUMIFS, pivot tables)
  • Power BI experience beyond pulling reports—you can build and explain dashboards
  • Comfort working across multiple disciplines, not a single-lane role
  • Clear communicator who can give specific, real-world examples
  • Thrives in fast-paced, high-expectation environments

Benefits

  • Competitive salary
  • Paid US holidays
  • Paid wellness days
  • Health & wellness allowance
