Position Overview
The Senior Staff Accountant will bridge the gap between a traditional staff accountant role and the responsibilities of an assistant controller. This is a growth-track position with an expected 2–3 year progression to Assistant Controller and potential 5-year progression to Controller. The role is ideal for someone with a few solid years of accounting experience who is ambitious, curious, and eager to take on increasing responsibility.
