Senior Accountant

Join the corporate accounting team of a publicly traded, multi-entity organization with a distinctive and well-recognized mission in the travel space. A newly appointed Controller & Assistant Controller are leading a meaningful transformation of the accounting function — modernizing workflows, strengthening internal controls, and building scalable processes. These leaders walk the talk when it comes to professional development — investing genuinely in their people — and are now seeking a Senior Accountant to support their transformation effort.

This role is an excellent fit for an auditor looking to transition out of public accounting into industry, or for a corporate accountant who thrives in environments undergoing transformation and values the opportunity to contribute to process improvement. If you are energized by building, not just maintaining, this is the role for you.

Key Responsibilities

• Execute monthly, quarterly, and annual close processes in accordance with U.S. GAAP
• Prepare and review journal entries, account reconciliations, and supporting schedules
• Analyze general ledger activity and research account variances
• Contribute to the preparation of quarterly and annual SEC filings (10-Q and 10-K) and related disclosures
• Support external audit and quarterly review processes
• Maintain and enhance SOX control documentation and compliance
• Participate actively in an upcoming ERP implementation, including system testing, data validation, mapping support, and process documentation
• Prepare ad-hoc analyses and financial reporting for senior finance leadership

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Accounting or Finance
• 3 or more years of progressive accounting experience; audit experience (public or private) is a plus but not required
• Strong working knowledge of U.S. GAAP and financial reporting standards
• Familiarity with SEC reporting and public company environments preferred not required 
• Experience operating within a SOX-compliant framework preferred not required 
• Demonstrated ability to navigate process change and systems transitions
• Advanced Excel proficiency and experience with ERP systems
• Strong attention to detail with the ability to meet deadlines in a fast-paced environment

Why This Role

• Visibility and impact — work closely with senior accounting leadership, FP&A, operations, and external auditors
• Professional development — gain meaningful exposure to SEC reporting, SOX compliance, and a hands-on ERP implementation
• Flexibility — hybrid schedule with two remote days per week in a Midtown Manhattan office
• Growth-oriented culture — join a team in active build-out mode, led by a Controller invested in doing things right
