Senior Accountant - Lincoln, Nebraska - Sports Industry - HEMPHILL EXCLUSIVE!
Hemphill is partnering with a midsized, growing Lincoln organization that is making a significant impact in the sports industry nationally. As they continue to expand, they’re excited to welcome a Senior Accountant to their corporate accounting team. This is a deeply rooted, well-established industry leader that continues to experience impressive year-over-year success.
The company operates several entities, and many of their products and services are complex, which means this role will offer more variety, projects, and day-to-day engagement than most “typical” financial accounting positions. Because of the company’s growth and multi-entity structure, we’re searching for an experienced, well-rounded individual with a strong foundation in hands-on financial accounting - someone who would enjoy stepping into a dynamic environment where they can make an immediate impact and be well-positioned for future growth.
- Report directly to the CFO while taking full ownership of the financial accounting and general ledger for a division of the organization. Expect a wide range of responsibilities - from GL reconciliations to monthly financial reporting and backend analysis.
- Contribute to ongoing projects that strengthen the company's accounting and financial infrastructure as they continue expanding.
- Although the company has been around for decades, they are entering a period of significant growth. We would love to identify a go-getter, someone who enjoys learning, can be resourceful while navigating new initiatives, and an individual who is motivated by career growth.
- While a large portion of your time will be focused on financial accounting, you’ll also have intentional involvement in operational discussions and company strategy. We’re looking for someone who enjoys technical accounting work and can also think practically and strategically.
Enjoy being part of a niche industry that partners with some of the top sports organizations in the world. You’ll have a first-hand view into exciting developments across the country and will have the opportunity to make a meaningful impact while reporting to an impressive CFO and building a career path you will be proud of. Enjoy a conveniently located office, generous compensation, an annual bonus, and clear opportunities for future advancement.
