Senior Accountant [Hybrid]

Hey! We’re The HOTH. 

Our name stands for "Hittem’ Over the Head" – a nod to how we approach everything we do: with enthusiasm, innovation, and an unwavering commitment to delivering results that amaze our clients.

We’re one of the world’s top Digital Marketing companies, pushing boundaries and driving growth for our customers in SEO (Search Engine Optimization) and beyond. Our mission is simple: help businesses thrive online and have a blast while doing it.

Thanks to our dedicated team, we’ve been recognized as one of INC Magazine’s Best Workplaces. If you like getting things done, improving systems, and working with people who actually care,  you’ll fit right in.

We’re looking for a Senior Accountant to join our finance team and take ownership of the day-to-day accounting that keeps The HOTH running strong.

You’ll handle the important stuff - managing accounts payable, tracking cash flow, reconciling accounts, and helping with month-end close. You’ll work closely with our Controller and CFO to keep things accurate, organized, and efficient.

This isn’t an entry-level role. We’re looking for someone with solid hands-on experience who knows how to manage accounting operations inside a business.

If you love clean books, clear processes/systems, and improving how work gets done, this is your spot.

What You’ll Do (A Day in the Life):

• 60%: Core Accounting Operations (Your #1 Focus)
  • Own the accounts payable process from start to finish — invoices, approvals, payments, and vendor management.
  • Reconcile all bank accounts, track transactions, and keep cash flow records clean and current.
  • Maintain organized, audit-ready documentation for all financial activity.
• 25% - Month-End Close & Reporting Support
  • Partner with the Controller to prepare journal entries, accruals, and reconciliations.
  • Review reports for accuracy and completeness before close.
  • Help ensure all accounts are reconciled and ready for monthly review.
• 10% - Cash Flow Management & Forecasting
  • Monitor daily cash balances and short-term liquidity.
  • Prepare weekly and monthly cash flow forecasts to support leadership decision-making.
• 5% – Continuous Improvement
  • Identify and implement small process improvements to make accounting more efficient.
  • Suggest system or workflow changes that improve accuracy and reduce manual work.

• 4-6 years of accounting experience (corporate or in-house preferred).
• Strong understanding of GAAP and standard accounting practices.
• Proven experience with accounts payable, cash management, and reconciliations.
• Skilled in Excel and accounting software (we use NetSuite, Ramp, and Tipalti).
• Detail-oriented, organized, and self-motivated.
• Curious and proactive, with a drive to improve processes and increase efficiency. 
• A natural problem solver who takes ownership and gets things done.

Bonus points if you’ve worked in a fast-paced or multi-entity business - you’ll feel right at home here!
