Senior Accounting Specialist

UltraPrecise Accounting is a rapidly growing, high-performing accounting firm that provides full-service accounting, Controller, and financial leadership support to complex, mission-driven organizations across the U.S. We specialize in working with nonprofits, professional service firms, and growing businesses that require far more than traditional bookkeeping- they need real financial infrastructure, clarity, and strategic guidance.

We operate as an outsourced finance department for our clients, managing everything from daily accounting operations through high-level financial oversight. Our work includes:

• Designing and maintaining robust accounting systems
• Leading month-end close and financial reporting
• Implementing internal controls and approval workflows
• Supporting audits and funder compliance
• Building scalable financial processes and teams
• Delivering executive-level financial insight and strategy

Our firm culture is built on precision, accountability, continuous improvement, and ownership. We move quickly, think deeply, and care immensely about the quality of what we deliver. Every team member is trusted with real responsibility and empowered to make meaningful impact for both our clients and the firm.

As UltraPrecise continues to scale, we are building a world-class accounting organization, one that attracts top talent, rewards high performance, and creates long-term career growth for professionals who want to do serious work that matters.

If you’re seeking a role where your expertise is respected, your growth is supported, and your work directly influences the success of organizations doing meaningful work in the world, UltraPrecise Accounting is the place to build your career.

Position Summary

We are seeking a highly skilled, proactive, and growth-oriented accounting professional to join our team at UltraPrecise Accounting. This role is designed for someone who thrives in complex environments, takes true ownership of their work, and wants to play a meaningful role in building and scaling a high-performing accounting firm.

In this position, you will serve as a key member of our accounting leadership team, working closely with clients and internal stakeholders to deliver exceptional financial operations, reporting, and strategic support. You will manage multiple client engagements, lead core accounting processes, and contribute to the development of scalable systems and best practices across the firm.

This is not a transactional role. You will be entrusted with real responsibility, real decisions, and real impact, both for our clients and for the future of UltraPrecise Accounting.

The ideal candidate is someone who brings strong technical accounting expertise, excellent judgment, and the ability to operate independently while collaborating within a fast-moving, high-expectation environment. You should be energized by building structure, improving systems, and solving problems, and motivated by being part of something that is actively growing.

This role offers significant opportunity for professional development, leadership growth, and long-term advancement as the firm continues to expand.
