We recently reached $6M of contracted ARR and are growing rapidly (over 200% LTM growth).Position Overview

We are seeking a versatile, highly accountable, and proactive Senior Accountant to join our team. This role is critical to ensuring accurate financial reporting, timely month-end closes, and maintaining strong internal controls across our growing portfolio. As a key driver of our financial operations, you will provide reliable financial information that supports both internal teams and client stakeholders.

This is a fast-paced, client-facing environment. The ideal candidate is someone who thrives on ownership, excels at managing competing priorities across multiple properties or clients, and brings a strong blend of technical accounting expertise and client service excellence.

Top Priorities & Key Responsibilities
  • Month-End & Year-End Close: Independently drive the month-end close process, preparing accurate financial statements (P&L, Balance Sheet) in strict compliance with US GAAP and strict deadlines.
  • Balance Sheet Optimization: Immediately tackle and streamline the balance sheet reconciliation process, managing increased volume efficiently as new clients and properties are onboarded.
  • Multi-Property / Multi-Client Management: Successfully balance workloads, journal entries, and financial reporting across multiple properties or client accounts without sacrificing accuracy.
  • Operational & Tech Integration: Seamlessly utilize hospitality and accounting platforms to process daily financial data and optimize workflows.
  • Process Efficiency & Client Service: Identify opportunities to improve accounting workflows, strengthen internal controls, and deliver a high level of service and clarity to client stakeholders.
Who You Are (Qualifications & Requirements)
  • The Experience: 3–5 years of progressive accounting experience, preferably within hospitality, property accounting, or outsourced accounting services.
  • The Technical Base: A rock-solid understanding of US GAAP, financial reporting, journal entries, and full-cycle account reconciliations.
  • The Hospitality Edge: Experience with hospitality-specific systems and platforms (e.g., Opera, Sertifi, Toast) is highly desired.
  • The Tech Stack: Hands-on experience or familiarity with Acumatica, Ottimate, and ProfitSword is a major plus.
  • The Mindset: A self-starter with fierce accountability. You are comfortable working independently in a fast-paced environment, meeting strict reporting deadlines, and managing multiple client relationships with professional diplomacy.
  • Education: Bachelor’s degree in Accounting, Finance, or a related field.
Position Demands & Success Indicators (The Deal-Breakers)

To excel in this role, you must be able to demonstrate:

  • The ability to independently manage a full month-end close and heavy balance sheet reconciliations from day one.
  • An exceptional capacity to prioritize multiple clients or properties simultaneously under tight deadlines.
  • Strong communication skills suitable for a client-facing environment.
