Job Description
We are looking for a Staff Accountant to support a contract assignment. This role will focus on general ledger reconciliations, month-end activities, and the review of financial data to ensure accuracy and timely resolution of outstanding items. The ideal candidate brings a solid accounting foundation, strong analytical ability, and hands-on experience working through close processes in a fast-paced environment.
Responsibilities:
- Review assigned general ledger and balance sheet accounts on a daily, weekly, and monthly basis to confirm accuracy and completeness.
- Prepare reconciliations, investigate discrepancies, and drive timely resolution of outstanding reconciling items through independent research and coordination with internal teams.
- Support monthly, quarterly, and year-end close cycles by recording journal entries, accruals, and other accounting adjustments as needed.
- Maintain assigned balance sheet accounts and monitor suspense activity to identify variances and address issues before they escalate.
- Recommend improvements that strengthen reconciliation workflows, increase efficiency, and enhance overall close process effectiveness.
- Contribute to cross-functional initiatives, including system or software-related projects that affect accounting operations.
- Provide additional accounting and finance support as needed to meet departmental priorities.
