Sr. Accountant

Robert Half

Job Description

Job Description

We are seeking a Senior Accountant to join our Full-Time Engagement Professionals (FTEP) program and support a long term client engagement focused on accounting operations, month-end close, year-end activities, and special projects. This role is ideal for an experienced accounting professional who can quickly learn established processes, work independently, and make an immediate impact with minimal day to day supervision. The position offers a blend of transactional accounting, financial analysis, and project based work in a collaborative environment.

Location: Remote (Must be Seattle, WA based)

Start Date: September 2026

Engagement Duration: Anticipated through early 2027

Key Responsibilities:

  • Prepare and post journal entries
  • Perform account reconciliations and balance sheet tie-outs
  • Support month-end and year-end close processes
  • Manage inventory accounting activities
  • Maintain fixed asset schedules and related accounting
  • Review cash activity and reconciliations
  • Analyze vendor accruals and prepaid expenses
  • Prepare intercompany accounting schedules and entries
  • Assist with executive-level financial reporting and summaries
  • Support 1099 reporting requirements
  • Perform financial analysis and investigate variances
  • Research and resolve accounting discrepancies
  • Partner with internal and external auditors during audit cycles
  • Contribute to accounting projects and process improvement initiatives

Why Consider This Opportunity?

This position is part of our Full-Time Engagement Professionals (FTEP) program, which offers the unique combination of consulting variety and full time employment stability. Unlike a traditional contract role, FTEP consultants are permanent employees who work on a series of client engagements. Upon successful completion of this project, there is an opportunity to continue as a permanent consultant and transition to future client assignments, allowing you to build your experience across different environments while maintaining employment continuity.

Benefits of the FTEP program include:

  • Full-time consulting employment
  • Long term career stability with ongoing project opportunities
  • Exposure to diverse accounting teams, systems and business challenges
  • Opportunities to expand your technical and professional skill set
  • Variety in project work without repeatedly searching for your next role
  • Dedicated support from a team invested in your long term success

Qualifications

  • Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, or related field
  • 4+ years of progressive accounting experience
  • Strong understanding of GAAP and month end close processes
  • Ability to work independently and exercise sound judgment
  • Strong analytical, problem solving, and organizational skills
  • Excellent communication and collaboration abilities
  • High attention to detail and accuracy

Technical Skills

  • Advanced Excel skills required
  • Working within complex spreadsheets and linked workbooks
  • Experience with multiple ERP systems preferred

If you're a self starter who enjoys solving problems, building relationships and making an impact in new environments, we'd love to connect with you about this opportunity.
