Corporate Staff Accountant

Carolina PRG has partnered with a growing, private equity-backed organization seeking a Staff Accountant to join its corporate accounting team. This is an opportunity to gain hands-on experience across the general ledger, month-end close, financial reporting, and audit support. You’ll work alongside experienced accounting professionals, collaborate with other departments, and learn how accurate financial information supports business decisions. We’re looking for someone who wants to understand the “why” behind the numbers—and contribute ideas that make the work better.

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

• Broad accounting exposure: Build experience across cash activity, reconciliations, close, reporting, and audits.
• An experienced team: Work alongside senior accounting professionals as you develop your skills.
• Connection to the business: Collaborate across departments and learn what drives financial results.
• A chance to contribute: Help improve processes as the organization continues to evolve.

What You’ll Do

• Support the preparation of GAAP-compliant financial statements and reports, including identifying trends and variances.
• Reconcile operating cash accounts and record daily cash receipts and payments in the general ledger.
• Assist with month-end close by preparing journal entries and accruals, researching discrepancies, and resolving questions.
• Complete monthly balance sheet reconciliations.
• Prepare schedules and supporting documentation for external audits.
• Work with other departments to support timely, accurate financial reporting.
• Identify opportunities to improve accounting processes and efficiency.
• Maintain organized accounting records and assist with special projects.

What You’ll Bring

• Bachelor’s degree in Accounting or Finance.
• One to two years of progressive accounting experience; Big Four or national public accounting firm experience preferred.
• CPA designation or progress toward certification preferred.
• Knowledge of general accounting principles and applicable compliance requirements.
• ERP experience and intermediate Excel skills, including pivot tables and lookups.
• Strong attention to detail, analytical skills, and sound judgment when handling confidential information.
• Effective communication and organizational skills.
• A proactive approach to learning, meeting deadlines, and working both independently and with a team.
