Job Description

Job Description

We are looking for an experienced Senior Accountant to support accounting operations and strengthen the accuracy of financial reporting for a long-term contract position. This role will play a key part in period-end close activities, general ledger oversight, and audit readiness while working closely with business partners across multiple functions. The ideal candidate brings strong technical accounting knowledge, sound judgment, and a process-minded approach to improving efficiency and control.

Responsibilities:

• Oversee essential month-end, quarter-end, and year-end close activities by preparing journal entries, reviewing account balances, and analyzing fluctuations in financial results.

• Manage general ledger activity to ensure records remain accurate, complete, and aligned with U.S. accounting standards and company policies.

• Develop audit-ready schedules and supporting documentation for financial statement reviews and coordinate responses to audit-related requests.

• Evaluate accounting guidance for complex transactions, including revenue recognition and lease matters, and draft clear technical accounting documentation when needed.

• Help maintain accounting policies and strengthen internal controls to support compliance requirements and consistent financial reporting.

• Collaborate with teams such as FP& A, Legal, Sales, and Operations to determine proper accounting treatment for contracts, expenditures, and strategic initiatives.

• Perform account and bank reconciliations, investigate discrepancies, and resolve issues in a timely manner.

• Contribute to process and system enhancements, including NetSuite-related improvements and automation efforts that increase reporting accuracy and efficiency.

• Proven experience in a senior-level accounting role with strong involvement in month-end close and general ledger management.
• Hands-on ability to prepare journal entries and complete detailed account reconciliations and bank reconciliations.
• Working knowledge of U.S. GAAP, including exposure to technical accounting topics such as revenue recognition and lease accounting.
• Experience supporting internal or external audits through preparation of schedules, documentation, and audit request responses.
• Proficiency with NetSuite and strong Microsoft Excel skills for analysis, reconciliations, and financial reporting support.
• Ability to assess financial variances, identify issues, and recommend practical accounting solutions.
• Strong communication skills and the ability to partner effectively with cross-functional stakeholders.
• High attention to detail with a focus on accuracy, organization, and meeting deadlines in a fast-paced environment.
