Senior Accountant

About the Client

Our client is a professional services organization that works with a diverse range of clients and operates in a collaborative, fast-paced environment. The company places a strong emphasis on quality, teamwork, and building efficient processes as the organization continues to grow.

The accounting team supports multiple areas of the business and works closely with finance and operational stakeholders. This is an opportunity to join a team where you can take ownership of meaningful accounting responsibilities, contribute to process improvements, and work closely with experienced finance leadership.

Overview

We're looking for a Senior Accountant to take ownership of core accounting operations and key components of the month-end close process. This role will help keep financial processes moving throughout the month, ensuring accurate, organized, and timely accounting while supporting a consistent and efficient close.

You'll partner closely with the Director of Finance and collaborate with accounting colleagues across the broader organization. This role is ideal for someone who enjoys working hands-on in the details, takes ownership of seeing processes through to completion, and knows when to investigate, problem-solve, or raise an issue rather than simply checking a task off the list.

Skills & Experience

• 3–5+ years of progressive accounting experience
• Strong understanding of accrual-basis accounting and month-end close processes, including journal entries, account reconciliations, and balance sheet schedules
• Experience independently owning components of the month-end close process and working against established close deadlines
• Experience maintaining schedules for items such as prepaids, accruals, and fixed assets
• Strong organizational skills with the ability to coordinate multiple recurring processes, follow up on outstanding items, and ensure work is completed accurately and on time
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with the ability to investigate discrepancies and recognize when something doesn't look right
• Ability to identify process gaps, take initiative, and improve workflows in a growing, evolving environment
• Strong communication skills, with the ability to collaborate effectively with both finance and non-finance colleagues
• Proficiency in Excel/Google Sheets and experience working within accounting systems; NetSuite experience preferred
• Experience with intercompany accounting and reconciliations, audit support, and/or professional services accounting preferred

What You'll Do

• Own key components of the month-end close process, including bank and credit card reconciliations, recurring journal entries, and supporting documentation
• Maintain balance sheet schedules, including prepaids, accruals, and fixed assets, ensuring they remain accurate and up to date throughout the month and are ready for month-end review
• Own intercompany accounting and reconciliations, partnering with finance teams across the broader organization to research and resolve discrepancies and coordinate shared close items
• Own the accounts receivable follow-up process by regularly reviewing aging, coordinating follow-up with internal teams and clients as appropriate, and ensuring outstanding items continue moving toward resolution
• Support the client invoicing process as needed and help coordinate invoicing workflows to ensure requested invoices are accurately completed and issued on time
• Partner with the Accounting Coordinator on transactional workflows, providing guidance, delegating tasks as appropriate, and following through to ensure shared tasks are completed accurately and on time
• Support the annual audit process by organizing requests, coordinating and delegating document collection, tracking outstanding items, and escalating more complex requests as needed
• Investigate accounting discrepancies and unexpected activity, resolving issues independently when appropriate and proactively raising items requiring additional review or judgment
