Job Description
We are looking for an experienced Senior Accountant to support accounting operations and strengthen the accuracy of financial reporting for a long-term contract position. This role will play a key part in period-end close activities, general ledger oversight, and audit readiness while working closely with business partners across multiple functions. The ideal candidate brings strong technical accounting knowledge, sound judgment, and a process-minded approach to improving efficiency and control.
Responsibilities:
- Oversee essential month-end, quarter-end, and year-end close activities by preparing journal entries, reviewing account balances, and analyzing fluctuations in financial results.
- Manage general ledger activity to ensure records remain accurate, complete, and aligned with U.S. accounting standards and company policies.
- Develop audit-ready schedules and supporting documentation for financial statement reviews and coordinate responses to audit-related requests.
- Evaluate accounting guidance for complex transactions, including revenue recognition and lease matters, and draft clear technical accounting documentation when needed.
- Help maintain accounting policies and strengthen internal controls to support compliance requirements and consistent financial reporting.
- Collaborate with teams such as FP&A, Legal, Sales, and Operations to determine proper accounting treatment for contracts, expenditures, and strategic initiatives.
- Perform account and bank reconciliations, investigate discrepancies, and resolve issues in a timely manner.
- Contribute to process and system enhancements, including NetSuite-related improvements and automation efforts that increase reporting accuracy and efficiency.
