Flagship is looking for a Senior Accountant who owns their accounts end to end: closes them on time, reconciles them to support, explains every movement, and fixes the root cause when something is wrong. You will work in Workday Financials across multiple legal entities, lines of business and hundreds of job sites, and you will help us raise the bar on close quality, balance sheet integrity and reporting to leadership, our lenders and our auditors.
This is a hands-on role for someone who wants to grow: you will review the work of staff and offshore accountants, lead specialized rollforwards and reserves, and help build the processes and controls of a scaling finance team.
What Success Looks Like
- First 90 days: owns a defined set of close tasks and reconciliations, all on time, tied to the GL and with no unsupported balances.
- Within 6 months: leads one or more rollforwards (fixed assets, leases or reserves) and audit request lists end to end; reviews staff and offshore work.
- Within 12 months: has improved at least one close process or control in a measurable way (fewer manual entries, faster close or fewer reconciling items).
Why Flagship
- 401(k) with company match.
- Flexible Paid time off
- Real ownership and visibility with the CFO and senior leadership.
- Clear path for advancement as the finance team grows.
- Hybrid work schedule, will be on site 4 days per week for first 90 days, then discuss with manager.
