ASAP Sponsorship is not available [HYBRID] Senior Accountant (Full-Cycle Accounting) Description Our client, an engineering and construction services company, is looking for a Senior Accountant to join their team outside of Sterling, VA. You'll serve as the primary accounting resource, handling weekly payroll, accounts payable, accounts receivable, and other full-cycle accounting activities. This is a highly hands-on role with a strong emphasis on multi-state payroll, while also supporting executive leadership with month-end close and financial reporting. They're looking for someone who genuinely enjoys being the hands-on, tactical person in the accounting function and appreciates the trust and autonomy that comes with being relied upon to get the job done. The ideal candidate is proactive, takes initiative, and is resourceful enough to figure things out independently, while also being comfortable asking questions and raising their hand when support is needed. Because this is a smaller company, you'll have a direct line to ownership and the opportunity to have a real voice in the business, rather than just handling the accounting in the background. The role is designed to grow with the company, giving you the opportunity to take on increasing responsibility and ultimately grow into a Controller position.
