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.


What You Will Own

• Own the general ledger across a multi entity structure

• Prepare and post manual journal entries, including accruals, prepaids, depreciation, and intercompany activity

• Run consolidations, intercompany reconciliations, and eliminations

• Deliver on a fast monthly close and prepare reporting packages for corporate

• Own lease accounting under ASC 842 and fixed asset accounting

• Reconcile balance sheet accounts and review trial balances across all entities

• Partner with project accounting to tie job cost activity back to the general ledger

• Help design and strengthen internal controls in a public company environment

• Support forecasting, audit schedules, and ad hoc analysis for finance leadership


What You Need

• 3+ years of public accounting experience (audit or advisory), ideally at the senior level

• CPA or actively pursuing your CPA

• Broad exposure across the full balance sheet and income statement, not limited to one area or cycle

• Working knowledge of ASC 842 lease accounting

• Bachelor's degree in Accounting or Finance

• Strong Excel skills, including pivot tables and lookups


What Sets You Apart

• Public accounting experience with hands on work across multiple clients

• Exposure to multi entity consolidations and intercompany accounting

• SOX or internal controls experience is a plus

• Construction, contracting, or project based industry experience is a plus

• Familiarity with job costing and percentage of completion accounting


Good to Know

• Fully on site, full time
