Job Description

Position Overview:

Now Hiring: Senior Accountant

 

Location: Dothan, AL
Salary Range: $85,000–$97,500 ~ commensurate with experience
Bonus Potential: Up to $20,000 annually
Benefits: 401(k), Group Health Insurance, Cell Phone Assistance, and more

 

A privately held, multi-division organization is seeking an experienced Senior Accountant to play a critical role in financial leadership, reporting, and operational support. This is a highly visible position reporting directly to the President, with regular interaction with executive leadership and a parent company.

This opportunity is ideal for a hands-on accounting professional who enjoys owning the close, leading a small team, and translating financial data into meaningful insights for leadership.

 

What You’ll Do

Financial Leadership & Close

  • Lead the monthly close process for multiple operating divisions
  • Prepare and review Balance Sheets, P&Ls, and journal entries
  • Manage inter-divisional billing
  • Understand and apply percentage-of-completion accounting and WIP for project-based operations
  • Oversee inventory tracking and basic vehicle leasing/financing
  • Deliver monthly and quarterly reporting to parent-company leadership

Team & Cross-Functional Leadership

  • Manage and mentor a support team of 2–3 accounting staff handling AP, AR, bank reconciliations, and payroll coordination
  • Partner with internal HR and parent-company HR on benefits administration (group health, 401(k), and related plans)
  • Collaborate with IT leadership and support basic system integrations

Systems, Reporting & Analytics

  • Maintain and optimize accounting operations in QuickBooks Online (with a future transition to Sage)
  • Leverage Excel and Microsoft 365 at an advanced level for reporting and analysis
  • Support and interpret data from job costing and customer service operating systems
  • Develop, refine, and communicate KPIs and financial insights to executive and mid-level management

What We’re Looking For

  • Bachelor’s degree in Accounting (Master’s preferred)
  • 3–5 years of experience leading accounting teams
  • Strong experience with monthly close and multi-entity accounting
  • Advanced Excel skills and comfort with financial modeling and reporting
  • Working knowledge of benefits administration and payroll coordination
  • Ability to communicate clearly and confidently with senior leadership
  • Highly organized, detail-oriented, and comfortable in a fast-moving environment

Why This Role Stands Out

  • Direct access to executive leadership
  • Broad scope with real influence on operations and strategy
  • Opportunity to help shape processes, reporting, and systems
  • Stable organization with multiple operating divisions
  • Trusted, senior-level role with room for long-term impact

If you’re a seasoned accounting professional ready to step into a visible, trusted leadership role, we encourage you to apply.

Pay Range: USD $85,000.00 - USD $97,500.00 /Yr.
