DARCO is seeking an experienced Senior Accountant for a hands-on, full-cycle accounting role in a lean organization. The Senior Accountant will personally manage core day-to-day accounting activities, support month-end and year-end close, maintain accurate and well-supported accounting records, analyze financial information and trends, identify issues requiring management attention, and provide clear, useful financial information to management, and work closely with the Operations Manager, President & COO, Supply Chain Manager, and outside CPA. This role is best suited for someone who enjoys being close to the numbers and taking ownership of the accounting work. The position requires sound judgment, critical thinking, and the ability to independently investigate and resolve accounting issues. The Person Who Will Succeed Here You are highly organized, exceptionally detail-oriented, analytical, and dependable. You do more than process transactions and produce reports—you understand the financial information, recognize when something does not make sense, investigate issues, identify trends, and communicate meaningful findings to management. You verify your work, maintain complete supporting documentation, communicate issues early, follow established procedures, and take responsibility for seeing tasks through to completion. You are comfortable working independently in an environment where accuracy, accountability, judgment, critical thinking, and consistent follow-through are essential.
