We are looking for an enthusiastic Senior Accountant for multiple entities in our office in Manhattan, New York. The ideal candidate has financial accounting and administrative experience, with a positive attitude. Looking for candidates who possess excellent attention to detail. An outgoing and friendly personality is vital, as well as the ability to multi-task and remain organized.

You continually re-prioritize moving targets without letting anything slip through the cracks. We’re reliant on you to have strong follow-through.
