Minimal; occasional client visits/onboarding as needed Role Summary The Senior CAS Associate is a client-facing, execution-driven accounting lead responsible for delivering accurate monthly closes and high-quality financial reporting across a portfolio of clients. This role is hands-on and fast paced—owning complex reconciliations, cleaning up messy books, and ensuring consistent close processes—while also mentoring junior staff and supporting the CAS Manager/Controller in driving deadlines and quality. Many of our clients are operationally complex (often including construction, real estate, development, and property management), but the portfolio may include other industries as well. Key ResponsibilitiesMonth-End Close Ownership (Multi-Client) Execute and drive the month-end close for assigned clients: task list, deadlines, follow-ups, and completion.

Maintain clean workpapers and a defensible audit trail for every month. Advanced Accounting & Problem Solving Identify errors quickly (coding, cutoff, duplicate entries, misapplied payments, incorrect mappings) and fix root causes—not just symptoms. Handle complex areas depending on client needs: Multi-entity accounting and intercompany due to/due from Revenue recognition / accrual accounting Clean rollforwards for key balance sheet accounts Support year-end close and tax-ready schedules (trial balance tie-outs, reconciliations, support packets).
