Senior Accountant

Senior Accountant Weaver Consultants Group seeks an accounting professional with at least five years of experience who is looking for a role that offers variety, responsibility, and the opportunity to make a meaningful impact to join our growing Accounting team! Our Approach to Accounting We are a dynamic company that grows carefully by double digits each year, and our Accounting function is unlike most. Approximately 700 employees work from 20 offices across the country in seven business units in an organization that is structured similarly to a law firm. Approximately 180 employees are shareholders of three holding companies that own a series of LLCs, and our financial reporting consolidates the results of 32 profit centers. Our Accounting group consists of 16 professionals who work in a highly coordinated environment, with most staff working remotely. One example of what we accomplish together: Every one of us participates in our month end close, which is consistently completed in 2½ business days. It is a core value of our Company to develop leaders from within. Our current hiring is due in part to Accounting staff moving into leadership positions.
