Senior Accountant

Robert Half
Lake George, NY

Robert Half is partnering with an established, privately held organization seeking a Senior Accountant to play a key role in supporting day-to-day financial and tax operations across multiple business lines. This is a hands-on opportunity for someone who enjoys being close to the numbers—owning core accounting processes while contributing to broader areas such as payroll, cash flow, and tax support.


Key Responsibilities

  • Oversee and manage day-to-day accounting operations across multiple entities
  • Maintain accurate financial records, including journal entries, general ledger activity, and account reconciliations
  • Perform monthly bank and credit card reconciliations and support cash tracking
  • Assist with month-end and year-end close processes
  • Coordinate with ownership on cash flow management, financial planning, and reporting needs
  • Support and maintain payroll processing across multiple states, including related reporting and compliance
  • Assist with federal and state tax filings for entities and individuals (1040, 1120-S, 1065), including gathering documentation and working through preparation
  • Partner with external advisors as needed on tax compliance and filings
  • Maintain organized accounting records and support ongoing bookkeeping needs, especially during non-peak tax periods
  • Act as a key liaison for accounting-related questions and help ensure smooth financial operations


What We’re Looking For

  • 5+ years of experience in accounting, preferably in a small business or public accounting environment
  • Strong understanding of general ledger, reconciliations, and month-end close
  • Experience with bookkeeping and hands-on accounting responsibilities
  • Exposure to tax preparation or tax support for individuals and/or closely held entities
  • Familiarity with multi-state payroll or tax environments is a plus
  • Proficiency with accounting software (QuickBooks or similar) and Excel
  • CPA or CPA-track is a plus, but not required
  • Ability to work independently and communicate directly with ownership


Why This Role Stands Out

  • Broad, hands-on exposure across accounting, payroll, and tax
  • Direct interaction with business owners and decision-makers
  • Opportunity to own and improve accounting processes
  • Stable, established business environment with long-term potential
  • Hybrid flexibility with a mix of in-office and remote work


Salary Range: $75,000 - $115,000
