Staff Accountant

Robert Half Finance & Accounting Contract Talent is currently seeking a Staff Accountant (Interim) for a 90-day contract engagement with a client in the St. Louis area. This is a fully onsite role, working five days per week, with an immediate start date. This position is ideal for an experienced, hands-on accounting professional who thrives in a tactical environment and can work independently with minimal oversight.

The primary focus of this role will be supporting audit and accounting functions related to insurance accounts and other aged balance sheet accounts that have not been reconciled for approximately one year. The selected candidate will play a key role in cleaning up historical balances, reviewing and validating insurance invoices, and allocating costs across multiple property divisions. Prior year workpapers will be available to guide the process.

Key Responsibilities include reconciling insurance and other balance sheet accounts, reviewing and validating invoices, allocating insurance expenses to appropriate property divisions, assisting with current-year reconciliations, and executing tasks independently in a structured, detail-oriented environment.

The ideal candidate will have several years of Staff Accountant experience with a strong focus on general ledger and audit-related work. Advanced Excel skills are required due to the heavy volume of reconciliations. Experience with SAGE 100 and Yardi is highly preferred. This role requires a self-starter who is highly detail-oriented and comfortable working independently. There are no client-facing responsibilities associated with this position.
