Senior Accountant

El Segundo, CA 90245

Posted: 06/23/2026 Job Titles: ACCT - Sr. Accountant Job Number: 5795 Pay Rate: 150,000

Job Description


Alliance Resource Group is partnered with a VC backed clean energy technology company to find a hands-on Senior Accountant who will help build a world-class accounting function from the ground up. This is a high-impact role for someone who thrives in ambiguity, enjoys creating order where little structure exists, and wants to shape the systems and processes that scale with a fast-growing business. You will play a central role in the monthly close, drive process improvements, and partner closely with Finance and Operations to establish the financial infrastructure the company needs as it grows.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES
  • Manage the month-end close end to end, including journal entry preparation and review, account reconciliations, flux and variance analysis, and adherence to the close calendar for accurate, timely financials.
  • Own key close areas such as fixed assets and depreciation, prepaid expenses, accruals, payroll, and cash and bank reconciliations, keeping supporting schedules accurate, complete, and well documented.
  • Support general ledger maintenance and help refine reporting segments and financial structure to match the evolving needs of a growing business.
  • Build monthly reporting packages and deliver financial analysis, including trend and variance commentary, KPI tracking, and ad hoc analyses that give leadership and investors clear visibility into performance.
  • Act as an accounting resource on operational and technical questions, translating requirements for non-finance partners.
  • Strengthen process documentation, including desktop procedures, system relationships, and process narratives, as opportunities surface during the close.
  • Contribute to system implementations and expansions across ERP, AP automation, and expense management.
  • Help maintain accounting policies and internal controls that keep financial records accurate and audit-ready.

QUALIFICATIONS

Required
  • Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, or a related field.
  • 3+ years of accounting experience, including hands-on month-end close and financial reporting and analysis.
  • Strong knowledge of US GAAP and general accounting principles.
  • Proficiency with accounting software and the Microsoft Office Suite.
  • Self-starter with strong organizational skills and comfort operating amid ambiguity.
  • Clear communicator who collaborates effectively across teams.

Preferred
  • Licensed CPA.
  • Experience at a startup, high-growth, or similarly fast-paced environment, with a track record of building processes from scratch.
  • Experience supporting or leading an ERP or systems implementation.
  • Exposure to a VC-backed company and familiarity with investor reporting.
  • Public accounting background (Big 4 or regional firm).
  • Experience supporting external audits or audit preparation.

SOFTWARE EXPERIENCE
  • QuickBooks, NetSuite, Ramp, Microsoft Excel, Word, PowerPoint

WHAT MAKES THIS ROLE STAND OUT

A ground-floor seat to build and scale the accounting function at a fast-growing energy technology company, with meaningful ownership and direct exposure to leadership, investors, and experienced operators across the business.
