Sr. Accountant

We are looking for an experienced Senior Accountant to join a team on a long-term contract assignment. This role is well suited for an accounting specialist with strong attention to detail who can support core financial operations, maintain accurate records, and help keep reporting activities on schedule. The position will play an important part in sustaining day-to-day accounting coverage while additional organizational priorities are underway. The role will be a very independent position, so a qualified candidate will be someone who is comfortable operating independently to take ownership of the month-end close process.

Responsibilities:

• Manage month-end close activities by preparing entries, reviewing balances, and helping ensure deadlines are met.
• Maintain the general ledger with accurate financial data and consistent application of accounting practices.
• Prepare and post journal entries supported by proper documentation and timely review.
• Perform account reconciliations to identify variances, resolve discrepancies, and strengthen reporting accuracy.
• Complete bank reconciliations and investigate outstanding items to keep cash records current.
• Support continuity of accounting operations by providing experienced coverage during a period of resource reallocation tied to a broader organizational implementation.
