Senior Accounting Analyst- External Reporting
Do you have 2-4 years of public accounting experience and are starting to feel like this may have been your last busy season?
We’re partnering with a multi-billion-dollar, publicly traded organization to identify a Senior Accountant to join their Minneapolis-based team.
This role sits within a highly visible group responsible for external and regulatory reporting, including SEC filings, financial statement preparation, technical accounting research, and partnering with both internal stakeholders and external auditors. It’s a great opportunity to gain exposure to complex accounting matters while building a strong foundation in public company reporting.
What really stands out is the long-term growth potential. This team has a strong track record of developing talent and serving as a stepping stone into broader accounting, finance, and leadership roles throughout the organization.
If you’re looking for your first move out of public accounting and want to join a company where people build long-term careers, this could be a really strong next step.

- Support complex accounting analyses, research technical accounting issues, and help translate findings into meaningful business insights.
- Participate in special projects focused on process improvements, system enhancements, financial analysis, and operational initiatives.
- Prepare and present financial information to leadership while serving as a trusted resource on accounting and reporting-related questions.
- Stay current on evolving accounting guidance and reporting requirements while helping the team navigate new and complex accounting matters.
- Mentor and support less experienced team members as opportunities arise.
