Another week has gone by and we’ve been heads down helping clients fill key accounting & finance roles with even more searches kicking off soon.

Over the past couple weeks, we’ve been actively working on searches for a Controller, Assistant Controller, FP&A Manager, Senior FP&A Analyst, Senior Tax Analyst, SEC Reporting Analyst, Senior Accountant, Staff Accountant, and Payroll Specialist and the majority of these searches already have offers out. YAY TEAM!

Another week, another great opportunity!

We're recruiting on a 100% Remote Accounting Manager search with a high-growth technology company that's continuing to scale. This is a newly created role driven by growth and is ideal for someone who enjoys improving processes, streamlining the month-end close, and leading a team while still staying close to the work.

We're targeting candidates with:
• 8+ years of combined public accounting and corporate accounting experience
• Active CPA
• Strong month-end close experience with the desire to be a player coach
• A passion for process improvement and building scalable accounting operations

The role is roughly 70% hands-on accounting and 30% people/process management, making it a great fit for someone who wants to drive change while remaining involved in the day-to-day accounting function.

NOW HIRING! Madison Street Search is partnering with a growing, PE-backed company in the Chicago Suburbs on a Staff Accountant opening that has REAL growth potential written all over it.

This is the kind of role where you come in as a Staff Accountant… and if you prove yourself, there is a very clear path to Senior Accountant and beyond.

Why am I excited about this one?

✔️ Exposure to inventory accounting + operations
✔️ Tons of visibility to leadership
✔️ Opportunity to help implement a new NetSuite inventory system across 100+ locations
✔️ High-growth company actively pursuing acquisitions
✔️ Role model manager who was promoted internally himself
✔️ Actual work/life balance during month-end (!!)
✔️ Newly renovated office + gourmet coffee + catered lunches ☕

This is NOT a sit-in-the-corner-and-do-recons-all-day type of accounting role. They need someone analytical, detail-oriented, curious, and comfortable building relationships with operations teams across the business.

The environment is fast-moving, collaborative, and honestly a great fit for someone coming out of public accounting who wants to get into a company where things are happening.

If you have 2+ years of inventory exposure from audit or industry and want to be part of a company that is scaling aggressively through growth and M&A, let’s talk.
