The ideal candidate brings a practical understanding of end-to-end accounting activities, works effectively with minimal oversight, and is comfortable using modern tools to improve efficiency.

Responsibilities:

Lead monthly close activities and ensure financial records are completed accurately and on schedule during a contract coverage period.

Manage the full accounting cycle, including cash, accounts payable, accounts receivable, and general ledger reconciliations.

Prepare and post journal entries, review account activity, and resolve discrepancies across balance sheet and income statement accounts.

Work independently with day-to-day transaction processing and maintain reliable accounting records with strong attention to detail.

Support accounting operations across multiple platforms, including reviewing historical activity and maintaining continuity of financial data.

Assist with transaction mapping and general ledger categorization within Rillet, identifying issues and escalating inconsistencies when needed.

Contribute to audit readiness by organizing supporting documentation and maintaining clear accounting schedules.

Identify opportunities to streamline workflows, automate routine tasks, and apply AI-enabled tools where appropriate to improve productivity.

Requirements - Proven experience in an Accounting Manager or Senior Accountant capacity with ownership of month-end close processes.

Strong knowledge of full transaction flow, including cash reconciliations, accounts payable, accounts receivable, and general ledger activity.

Demonstrated ability to prepare journal entries, perform account reconciliations, and support accurate financial reporting.

Ability to work independently in a hands-on environment that includes detailed data entry and transaction review.

Experience with QuickBooks Online is strongly preferred due to historical accounting records maintained in that system.

Background working in more than one accounting platform, such as Sage Intacct or NetSuite, is highly desirable.

Familiarity with financial statement audits and maintaining documentation that supports audit and close requirements.

Interest in using AI-driven tools and the ability to learn new systems quickly are considered valuable for this role.
