Senior Accountant

Put your accounting expertise to work. Help shape what comes next. At Acuity Insights, we’re strengthening our accounting operations, improving our systems, and finding better ways to work. We’re looking for an experienced accountant who can take on complex work independently and help us build a stronger, more effective accounting function.

You’ll own significant areas of the accounting cycle, from close and financial reporting to revenue, reconciliations, and audit readiness. You’ll also help strengthen the accuracy and reliability of our financial and business reporting, including recurring revenue metrics, while contributing accounting insights to budgeting, forecasting, and financial analysis.

You’ll work closely with our Controller and alongside a small accounting team, bringing the judgment to work through complex accounting questions, identify root causes, and see issues through to resolution. Your experience will also help strengthen the team through shared knowledge, guidance, and better ways of working.

There’s plenty to improve and build. We’re preparing for a new accounting system, exploring automation and AI, and reducing the manual work that slows us down. You’ll have the opportunity to lead meaningful improvements while helping make our accounting processes more reliable and scalable.

• Turn accounting information into reliable financial insight: You’ll help ensure the accounting information behind our financial and business reporting is accurate, consistent, and reliable.
• Help modernize our accounting systems: You’ll contribute your accounting expertise to the transition to a new accounting platform.
• Improve how Accounting works: You’ll look beyond your own responsibilities to identify recurring problems, unnecessary manual work, and opportunities to simplify processes.

Who You’ll Work With:

You’ll report to our Controller and work alongside a small team of accountants. You’ll have meaningful ownership of your work while sharing knowledge, solving problems together, and helping strengthen how Accounting operates.
