Senior Staff Accountant
Description Our team is proud to partner with a highly respected, award-winning organization seeking a skilled and proactive Senior Accountant. This role goes far beyond theoretical knowledge. Our client is looking for an independent, practical accountant who understands the true flow of the general ledger and financial statements, and who can hit the ground running with minimal supervision. What You’ll Do: This is not a heavy job-cost or work-in-progress (WIP) accounting role. While construction or project-based accounting experience is helpful, it is not required. Our client truly needs a strong general ledger (GL) accountant with a solid foundation in core accounting principles and the confidence to work both autonomously and efficiently. Key Competencies for Success: + Strong grasp of debits and credits and their impact on financial statements (e.g., correct classification of assets, liabilities, income, and expenses) + Hands-on experience with: + Account reconciliations and variance investigation + Payroll liabilities and reconciliations + Fixed asset management and tracking + Prepaids and amortization schedules + Journal entry preparation and review + Proven track record of quickly learning new systems and processes, with the ability to take full ownership of assigned work + High attention to detail and organizational skills in a fast-paced, high-volume environment Work Environment & Expectations: You’ll join a close-knit accounting team that has recently transitioned to a new ERP platform. While concise software training resources are available, training on foundational accounting concepts will be very limited. They need someone who already “knows the numbers” and is a self-starter who readily adapts to new technologies and processes. Additional Responsibilities: + Manage the full cycle of GL accounting, support monthly and year-end close, and assist with financial reporting and analysis + Review and maintain compliance and internal controls + Collaborate with management to resolve challenges, drive process improvements, and advance business objectives + Assist with budgeting, forecasting, and tax compliance as needed What We’re Looking For: + A results-driven accounting professional with excellent communication and problem-solving skills + Someone who excels at working independently, learning quickly, and delivering accurate, timely results If you are a self-motivated Senior Accountant searching for your next opportunity with a reputable and stable organization, we want to hear from you!
