Job Description
Description We are looking for an experienced Sr. Accountant to join a fast-moving team on a long-term contract basis. This role is well suited for a detail-oriented finance specialist who is comfortable working independently, adapting to shifting priorities, and contributing in a growing business environment. The position will play a key role in general ledger activities, period-end close, and daily accounting operations while supporting audit-related needs.
Responsibilities:
- Lead core general ledger accounting activities and help drive an accurate and timely month-end close process.
- Prepare and post journal entries, reconcile balance sheet accounts, and investigate variances to maintain financial accuracy.
- Oversee accounts payable workflows, review payment batches, and ensure disbursements are processed appropriately.
- Record monthly fixed asset activity, maintain supporting schedules, and account for both owned and leased assets.
- Assist with audit preparation by organizing documentation, responding to support requests, and helping address follow-up items.
- Perform bank reconciliations and other account analyses to confirm completeness and resolve discrepancies promptly.
- Contribute in a dynamic startup-style setting by identifying issues quickly and managing priorities with limited direction.
- Support lease accounting activities, including entries and reporting related to ASC 842 as leased asset volume expands. Requirements
- 4-7 years of accounting experience with strong knowledge of general ledger processes and month-end close.
- Hands-on experience preparing journal entries, account reconciliations, and bank reconciliations.
- Background supporting accounts payable operations, including review of payment runs.
- Familiarity with audit support activities and preparing documentation for external auditors.
- Ability to work effectively as a self-directed contributor in an evolving, fast-paced environment.
- Prior experience in a startup or high-growth business setting is strongly preferred.
- Public accounting experience is a plus for candidates seeking a long-term opportunity.
- Exposure to ASC 842 lease accounting for 1-2 years is preferred.
