Our client, a leading professional services firm and certified Great Place to Work®, is seeking an experienced Accounting Supervisor to join its growing Small Business Accounting team in Madison, with a specialized focus on healthcare organizations including medical practices, dental groups, and veterinary clinics.

This is more than a traditional accounting role.

It's an opportunity to become a trusted resource for healthcare business owners while supervising staff, managing client engagements, developing future leaders, and helping clients improve the financial performance and operational efficiency of their practices.

As a highly visible member of the team, you'll work directly with clients, managers, and firm leadership while gaining valuable experience in healthcare accounting, advisory services, client management, and team development.

If you're looking for a leadership opportunity that combines accounting expertise, healthcare industry exposure, and a clear path toward management, we'd welcome a confidential conversation.

• Strong mentorship and career growth opportunities
• Great Place to Work® certified culture
• Diverse client exposure and advisory responsibilities
• Collaborative and team-oriented environment
• Clear path toward Accounting Manager and senior leadership roles
