Prepare, update, and maintain accounting workpapers to support reconciliations, close tasks, and audit readiness.

Perform account and bank reconciliations, investigate discrepancies, and resolve outstanding items efficiently.

Provide support for accrual accounting and lease-related accounting processes as part of routine close responsibilities.

Administer expense reporting workflows through Chrome River and assist with related accounting follow-up as needed.

Assist with general ledger activities and provide broader accounting support across the team based on business priorities.

Support process efficiency efforts tied to close improvement, automation, and technology-enabled accounting workflows where applicable. Requirements - At least 3 years of accounting experience, ideally in a Senior Accountant or similar corporate accounting role.

Demonstrated success supporting month-end close in a fast-paced accounting environment.

Strong working knowledge of general ledger activity, journal entries, reconciliations, and accruals.

Experience preparing detailed accounting workpapers and maintaining organized supporting documentation.

Advanced Excel skills, including the ability to use Pivot Tables for analysis and reporting.

Strong analytical ability with a high level of accuracy, attention to detail, and follow-through.

Ability to work independently, communicate professionally, and collaborate effectively with internal teams.

Availability to work onsite during the initial onboarding period and additional hours during close cycles when needed.
