About the job Senior Staff Accountant

Senior Staff Accountant

Hybrid Role | Cleveland, OH

Build. Lead. Grow. Your Next Career Move Starts Here.

This is a newly created position which means you won't just fill a role, you'll define it. We're seeking a Senior Staff Accountant ready to step beyond the routine and into a position where you'll establish processes, drive operational excellence, and carve a clear path toward management leadership.

  • Must be either a US Citizen or Green Card holder.
  • Must have Aderant or Elite 3E experience

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

Ground-Floor Impact Shape accounting operations from the foundation up

Clear Growth Trajectory Built with future management responsibilities in mind

Hybrid Flexibility Balance in-office collaboration with remote productivity

Strategic Visibility Work directly with leadership on high-impact initiatives

What You'll Own

Financial Operations Leadership

You'll be the driving force behind accurate, efficient month-end processes and financial reporting. This isn't just number crunching. It's strategic accounting that informs business decisions and sets the standard for financial excellence.

Core Responsibilities :

Month-End Excellence

  • Lead the complete month-end close cycle : journal entries, accruals, and comprehensive account reconciliations
  • Prepare financial statements (Balance Sheet, Income Statement, Cash Flow) with precision and clarity
  • Maintain general ledger accuracy through proactive reconciliation and adjustments
  • Monitor daily cash activity and support cash flow tracking
  • Technical Expertise

  • Oversee fixed asset accounting, including GL reconciliation and depreciation schedules
  • Analyze complex accounts (insurance, debt, leases) to ensure reporting accuracy
  • Review IOLTA trust accounts monthly with meticulous attention to compliance
  • Prepare annual budgets for depreciation, insurance, taxes, and accounting operations
  • Audit & Compliance

  • Support external audits with well-organized schedules and documentation
  • Ensure adherence to internal controls and accounting policies through regular reviews
  • Maintain the highest standards of financial integrity and regulatory compliance
  • Process Innovation

  • Identify inefficiencies and champion process improvements
  • Build scalable accounting procedures as the organization evolves
  • Contribute to financial analysis and strategic projects that drive business growth
  • What You Bring

    Required Background :

  • Education : Bachelor's degree in Accounting
  • Experience : 2-7 years in public accounting or corporate financial reporting, compliance, and audit
  • Pedigree : Big 4 or large regional CPA firm background
  • Technical Skills : Expert-level Excel, Word, PowerPoint; Aderant and Sage experience a strong plus
  • CPA highly preferred
  • Your Success DNA :

    Deep knowledge of financial statement prep, month-end close, and fixed asset accounting

    Exceptional attention to detail with analytical problem-solving prowess

    Proactive mindset with a customer-service orientation

    Strong communicator who builds trust across teams

    Self-motivated professional who thrives in structured yet dynamic environments

    Process-oriented thinker always looking for better ways to work

    Why You'll Thrive Here

    For the Career Builder :

    This role is intentionally designed as a springboard to management. You'll gain exposure to strategic decision-making while building the foundation for leadership.

    For the Process Optimizer :

    Because this is a new position, you'll have real influence in shaping how things are done. Your ideas matter from day one.

    For the Accounting Professional :

    Work with sophisticated accounting systems, complex financial structures, and meaningful projects that showcase your expertise.

    For the Flexibility Seeker :

    The hybrid model gives you the best of both worlds : collaborative in-office days balanced with focused remote work time.

    Ready to Make Your Move?

    If you're an accomplished accountant who's ready to step up, lead initiatives, and build something meaningful, this is your opportunity. Bring your Big 4 or regional firm training, your technical excellence, and your ambition to growand help us establish world-class accounting operations.

    This isn't just another accounting job. It's your next career chapter.
