Sr. Accountant

Robert Half • Seaside, CA • 15h ago

Description We are looking for an experienced Sr. Accountant to support a non-profit organization in Seaside, California through a Contract assignment. This role is well suited for a highly capable accounting specialist who can operate with a controller-level mindset, provide steady financial oversight during the summer period, and maintain accuracy across core accounting activities. The position calls for someone who can step in quickly, work independently, and help keep day-to-day accounting operations running smoothly.

Responsibilities:

Lead monthly close activities by preparing schedules, reviewing balances, and ensuring timely completion of accounting deliverables.

Maintain the integrity of the general ledger through detailed review, accurate posting activity, and consistent adherence to accounting standards.

Prepare and record journal entries with supporting documentation to reflect routine and adjusting transactions.

Reconcile bank accounts and key balance sheet accounts, researching discrepancies and resolving outstanding items promptly.

Analyze financial records to identify variances, correct errors, and strengthen the accuracy of reported results.

Provide hands-on accounting support typically expected from a senior-level finance team member, offering dependable coverage during a contract staffing gap.

Assist with special accounting projects and process-related tasks as needed to support continuity within the finance function. Requirements - 5+ years of progressive accounting experience, including ownership of close processes and account reconciliations.

Strong command of month-end close procedures, general ledger management, and journal entry preparation.

Proven ability to complete bank reconciliations and investigate accounting discrepancies with minimal supervision.

Background operating at a senior accountant or controller-like level within a fast-paced environment.

Excellent attention to detail and the ability to manage deadlines while maintaining high accuracy.

Strong analytical, organizational, and problem-solving skills.

Prior experience supporting accounting operations in a non-profit environment is preferred.
