About The Position

Valmar Holdings is seeking a Senior Accountant to serve as a hands-on, mid-senior individual contributor within our accounting team. This is a high-impact role for an experienced accountant who thrives on owning the day-to-day mechanics of the books while also stepping back to identify, design, and implement improvements to the systems and processes that support the business. The ideal candidate is equally comfortable closing the month, paying the bills, generating customer invoices, and partnering with HR on payroll and benefits data integrity. This role is not a people-management position, but the right person will operate with the judgment, ownership, and initiative of a leader.

Comfortable owning a recurring close cycle with multiple simultaneous deadlines across entities or workstreams.
Strong attention to detail, organizational skills, and ability to manage multiple priorities against deadlines.
Demonstrated ability to manage and audit large volumes of transactional data across multiple systems; comfortable working in ambiguous or imperfect data environments.
Demonstrated experience improving accounting processes or implementing/optimizing accounting systems.
Advanced Excel skills (pivot tables, lookups, complex formulas) and proficiency with at least one mid-market ERP or accounting platform (e.g., NetSuite, Sage Intacct, QuickBooks, Microsoft Dynamics).
Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to partner cross-functionally
