About the job
I'm partnering with a highly recognizable organization to help them find a Senior Accountant. This organization is a fast-paced and strategically focused high growth business that is essential to consumers. We have placed 5 people in this org, including the Accounting Manager who will lead this person, so we know them well. I'm looking for an ambitious accountant with 3-5 years of experience who can be taught and wants to take ownership.
