Senior Accountant

iFLY Indoor Skydiving•Austin, TX

8d•$85,000 - $100,000•Hybrid

About The Position

This newly expanded role rounds out our Finance & Accounting department's coverage across tax, fixed assets, consolidation, and revenue accounting. It's a high-visibility position created to close gaps in departmental capacity, with direct exposure to the Senior Director of Finance and a clear path toward Assistant Controller for strong performers. We don't expect one person to walk in with deep expertise in all four areas. What matters most is real depth in at least one — multi-state tax, fixed assets, or consolidation/revenue recognition — plus the curiosity and drive to build breadth across the rest over time. This role is primarily remote, with occasional trips to our Austin office for mail pickup and team meetings. Candidates must be located in or near the Austin, TX area.

Requirements

Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, or related field.
3–6+ years of progressive accounting experience, with real depth in at least one of multi-state tax, fixed assets, or consolidations.
Working knowledge of U.S. GAAP, including ASC 606 and consolidation principles; ERP experience (Sage Intacct, SAP, Oracle, or similar) and advanced Excel skills.
Self-starter with strong analytical and organizational skills who can manage multiple priorities independently.

Nice To Haves

CPA or CPA candidate a plus, not required.
Experience with multi-entity organizations.
Tax, fixed asset, or consolidation software (e.g., Avalara, Vertex, or similar).
Familiarity with internal controls / SOX-compliant environments.

Responsibilities

Own sales/use and property tax compliance end-to-end — coordinating with external consultants on filings, maintaining exemption and nexus documentation, and leading audit defense.
Reconcile tax GL accounts and monitor state/local tax law changes for business impact.
Own the fixed asset subledger — additions, disposals, transfers, depreciation, and CIP tracking — reconciled to the GL monthly.
Ensure proper capitalization and useful-life classification, and coordinate physical asset verification cycles.
Support multi-entity consolidation, including intercompany eliminations and balance reconciliation.
Apply ASC 606 revenue recognition to contracts and transactions, and analyze revenue trends against budget.
Identify and lead process and automation improvements across close, tax, and reporting workflows, partnering with IT as needed.
Document accounting procedures and internal control narratives.
Prepare journal entries, reconciliations, and supporting schedules as part of monthly close and financial statement prep.
Partner directly with the Senior Director of Finance on executive reporting and support external audit requests.
Mentor junior staff and take on expanded scope as the function grows — a deliberate growth opportunity, not a catch-all.
