Senior Accountant (Hands On Role)

Senior Accountant (Hands-On, Full Ownership Role)

About the Role

We are a growing, high-end landscaping and outdoor living company, primarily serving Scottsdale and Paradise Valley. Our work is detail-driven, client-focused, and operationally complex.

We are looking for a hands-on Senior Accountant to take ownership of the day-to-day financial engine of the business.

This is not a support role. This role owns:

Accounts Receivable (AR)

Accounts Payable (AP)

Reconciliations

Month-end close

Cash visibility

You will report directly to the Head of Operations to ensure the financial side of the business runs cleanly, consistently, and without surprises.

What You’ll Own

AR Management

Monitor aging daily and maintain consistent follow-up

Apply payments accurately and timely

Communicate professionally with high-end clients

AP Management

Ensure vendors are paid accurately and on time

Establish and maintain a clear payment cadence

Prioritize payments based on business needs and cash position

Reconciliations & Close

Maintain clean, current bank and credit card reconciliations

Execute a reliable month-end close process

Ensure accuracy across all financial records

Cash Awareness

Maintain visibility into current and near-term cash position

Track major inflows and outflows

Support basic cash forecasting (no over-engineered models)

Financial Discipline

Identify issues early and communicate them clearly

Bring structure to processes without overcomplicating them

What Success Looks Like

AR is current, organized, and actively managed

Vendor payments are predictable and never missed

Books are clean and closed on schedule

Leadership has clear, reliable visibility into cash

Financial issues are surfaced early — not discovered late

Who This Role Is For

This role is a strong fit for someone who:

Wants to own the accounting function end-to-end

Prefers a hands-on role over a segmented corporate environment

Values stability and long-term growth within accounting

Is comfortable working in-office with a collaborative team

Can operate effectively without rigid, pre-built systems

Who This Role Is NOT For

This role is likely not a fit if you:

Are primarily seeking a remote or hybrid position

Prefer highly structured, corporate environments with rigid processes

Are looking to move quickly out of accounting into other functions

Prefer narrowly defined responsibilities instead of full ownership

Qualifications

5+ years of accounting experience (small to mid-size business preferred)

Strong experience with:

AR / AP

Reconciliations

Month-end close

Working knowledge of cash flow and basic forecasting

Experience with QuickBooks Online (preferred)

Strong Excel skills (comfortable working with data, not just viewing it)

Work Environment

We are an in-office, collaborative, and fast-moving team. Our culture is not corporate — it’s practical, accountable, and team-oriented. We work hard, communicate directly, and expect people to take ownership of their role.

Compensation

Salary: $75,000 – $90,000 (based on experience)

Generous PTO, medical, dental, vision, 401k w/ match

Final Note

We are looking for someone interested in a long-term role where they can grow within the accounting function and take increasing ownership as the company scales.

If you’re looking for a role where you can make an immediate impact and actually run something — not just support it — we’d like to talk.
