About The Position

At U.S. Compliance, we help manufacturers simplify their Environmental, Health & Safety (EHS) compliance challenges. Through our Compliance as a Service (CaaS) model, we act as an extension of our clients' teams, delivering practical solutions that keep them compliant and their people safe. With strong financial backing and significant investment in people, systems and technology, we're building a scalable finance organization to support our next phase of growth. We're looking for a senior accountant to join our accounting and finance team, working closely with the controller and CFO. This is a role with real ownership from day one: you'll help lead the month-end close and manage accounts receivable, building great working relationships with our clients along the way. This is a small-company role in the best sense. Your work won't disappear into a corporate machine; you'll see the impact of what you do in how we operate and grow. If you're curious by nature, enjoy understanding the business behind the numbers and get satisfaction from taking an idea all the way to the finish line, you'll feel right at home here.
