The posting

Take ownership of complex accounting work - and help us improve how we do it.

At Kitware, we're looking for an experienced accounting professional who wants to do more than maintain the books. As our Senior Accountant, you'll play an important role in maintaining financial accuracy and regulatory compliance while helping us strengthen the processes and policies that support a growing R&D software company.

This role offers a mix of hands-on accounting, multi-state tax compliance, technical research, and process improvement. You'll have the independence to research complex accounting and tax issues, recommend solutions, and turn evolving requirements into practical processes that work for the business.

You'll also develop a broader understanding of Kitware's finance operations, giving you the opportunity to collaborate across functions and contribute beyond your primary responsibilities.

What You'll Do

In this position, you'll:

  • Perform monthly account reconciliations and support timely, accurate financial reporting.
  • Prepare and file state and local tax filings, including sales and use tax, gross receipts tax, and other indirect taxes across multiple jurisdictions - currently 28 states.
  • Conduct technical accounting and tax research to ensure compliance with evolving state regulations and government requirements.
  • Draft, review, and update accounting policies and procedures to align with GAAP and applicable government regulations.
  • Develop a strong understanding of adjacent finance functions, including Accounts Payable, Accounts Receivable, Payroll, and Customer Cost Proposals.
  • Identify and recommend opportunities to improve processes and increase efficiency.
  • Provide backup support across finance functions during peak periods, absences, or other business needs.
  • Collaborate with internal stakeholders to ensure financial controls and policies are applied consistently.
  • Translate regulatory and technical requirements into clear, actionable internal processes.

What We're Looking For:

  • Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, or a related field.
  • Strong foundation in GAAP and general accounting principles.
  • Experience with multi-state tax compliance, including sales and use tax, gross receipts tax, or similar requirements.
  • Demonstrated ability to independently research complex accounting or tax issues and implement solutions.
  • Experience developing or improving policies and procedures in a regulated environment.
  • High level of attention to detail, organization, and accountability.
  • Ability to work effectively both independently and collaboratively.
  • Strong communication skills, including the ability to translate technical guidance into practical application.
  • Due to contractual requirements, only candidates who are U.S. persons (citizens, permanent residents, asylees, or refugees) will be considered for this position.

Preferred Qualifications:

  • CPA or currently pursuing CPA certification.
  • 3-7 years of public accounting experience.

Why Kitware?

Kitware is an advanced research and development software company supporting government and commercial customers across a wide range of technical domains. Our work contributes to areas including healthcare, national security, scientific discovery, and advanced computing.

While our work is highly technical, it takes strong corporate operations to make that work possible. In this role, you'll have the opportunity to bring your accounting expertise to an organization where accuracy, compliance, and thoughtful processes directly support complex R&D programs and the people behind them.

We're also 100% employee-owned through an Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP). Eligible employees have the opportunity to share in the value they help create, giving our people a meaningful stake in Kitware's long-term success.

Our employees enjoy a collaborative work environment, flexibility in their assignments, significant independence, and the opportunity to take ownership of their work.

Benefits include:

  • Six weeks of paid time off
  • Flexible working hours
  • Competitive compensation
  • 401(k)
  • Health and life insurance
  • Short- and long-term disability insurance
  • Tuition reimbursement
  • Free coffee, drinks, and snacks

Living & Working in New York's Capital Region

This position is offered exclusively at Kitware's Clifton Park, NY headquarters, putting you in the heart of New York's Capital Region.

This area offers the conveniences and culture of city living with a distinctly small-town feel. From Broadway shows and outdoor concerts to a strong local dining scene, there’s plenty to do without the pace of a larger metropolitan area.

What really sets the region apart is its access to the outdoors. With an abundance of parks, lakes, nature preserves, and trails, outdoor recreation is part of life year-round - from hiking and boating in the warmer months to skiing and snowshoeing in the winter.

Kitware's Clifton Park headquarters includes collaborative gathering spaces, an oversized kitchen stocked with beverages and snacks, and an expansive outdoor patio.

Any unsolicited resume sent to Kitware, including to Kitware's mailing addresses, fax machines or email addresses, whether directly to Kitware employees or to Kitware's applicant tracking system, will be considered Kitware property. Kitware will not pay a fee for any placement resulting from the receipt of an unsolicited resume, and will consider any candidate submitted by a recruitment agency without a fully executed contract with Kitware to have been referred free of any charges or fees.
