- Calculate and record accruals and other accounting estimates
- Perform account reconciliations and investigate discrepancies
- Analyze financial results and explain significant account fluctuations
- Maintain accurate documentation supporting financial reporting and audit requirements
- Prepare schedules and documentation for external audits and respond to auditor requests
- Research accounting issues and recommend appropriate accounting treatment for complex transactions
- Partner with operational leaders to resolve accounting questions and discrepancies
- Identify opportunities to improve, automate, and standardize accounting processes
- Assist with finance projects and system implementations
- Share knowledge and provide guidance to other accounting team members
What We're Looking For
- Bachelor's degree in Accounting required
- Minimum of 5 years of progressive accounting experience
- CPA or CPA candidate preferred
- Strong understanding of GAAP and financial reporting
- Experience with month-end close, journal entries, accruals, reconciliations, and financial statement preparation
- Advanced Excel skills, including complex formulas, pivot tables, lookup functions, data analysis, and working with large amounts of financial data
- Strong analytical and problem-solving skills
- High attention to detail and commitment to accuracy
- Ability to independently manage multiple priorities and deadlines
- Strong communication skills and the ability to work effectively across departments
- A proactive mindset and an interest in improving processes rather than simply maintaining them
