About Overhead Solutions Group

Overhead Solutions Group is a growing, Forbes-recognized CPA firm specializing in nonprofit organizations, grant-funded entities, and mission-driven businesses. We help clients strengthen their accounting systems, prepare for audits, meet grant and compliance requirements, and produce accurate, useful financial information.

We are a small but growing firm, which means this role is not limited to checking boxes or preparing the same workpaper every day. The right person will have the opportunity to take ownership of client projects, supervise staff, work directly with clients, and grow into a future manager-level role.

Position Summary

We are seeking a Senior Accountant, Client Accounting & Assurance to join our team in Norfolk, VA. This role is ideal for someone with strong accounting and assurance experience who enjoys working with nonprofit clients, preparing financial statements, reviewing workpapers, supervising staff, and managing client deadlines.

This position includes a mix of assurance work, client accounting, bookkeeping cleanup, financial statement preparation, and some tax preparation. The ideal candidate is detail-oriented, deadline-driven, proactive, and comfortable taking ownership of projects from start to finish.

This is a great opportunity for someone who wants to grow with a firm, develop into a leadership role, and have a direct impact on client service and internal team development.

The Senior Accountant will support and manage client accounting and assurance engagements, including:

• Preparing and reviewing audit, review, and compilation workpapers.

• Researching accounting, audit, tax, and nonprofit compliance questions before escalating issues.
• Helping improve firm processes, templates, checklists, and client deliverables.
