General Accountant

As the General Accountant, you stand out with your knowledge and experience, and you see the story within the numbers. You know what to look for, and you understand the processes and controls that make a company better.

If you get excited working in a professional environment where you can bring your best self to work and make a difference to those around you, then this position is for you. 

How you show up

You speak the language of Accounting; debits and credits are second nature to you.

Communication and interpersonal skills are important to you, and you demonstrate both effectively.

You are a problem-solver. You suggest solutions when bringing issues to your manager. You’re not afraid to try new ways of doing things.

You follow all assigned responsibilities according to established safety & security policies, guidelines, and legal regulations that provide you a safe working environment.

You provide superior customer service in every interaction.

The day-to-day

(italics indicate essential function)

You love preparing monthly financial statements and reporting packages. You go the extra mile in your analysis and identify anomalies and useful trends.

You find the story in the numbers, and you share your insights with the Financial Accounting Manager and the CFO.

It’s the details: you take ownership of the general ledger, including all account and report maintenance, input of all journal entries, and reconciliation. You also prepare the supporting schedules and analyses.

You know taxes. You prepare or advise on sales and use tax, payroll tax, and property taxes. 

They come once per year, but they’re big – you assist with the annual budgeting process, audit, and internal audit process. You coordinate and execute the internal branch audits.

You coordinate the management of fixed assets, including fixed asset requisition approval process, the maintenance of Construction in Process (CIP) assets, and capitalization and depreciation of capitalized assets. 

You own the corporate credit card program and make sure processes are followed.

What you have

Bachelor’s degree in Accounting or related field with at least three years of direct day-to-day accounting experience.

DEEP knowledge of generally accepted accounting principles. Team members can look to you for guidance.

Accuracy. You notice if something seems “not right,” and you are careful in your work because so much depends on having the right numbers.

A mind for analyzing data. The ability to speak up when that data needs to be brought to someone’s attention.

You already know Microsoft applications, and you are ready and willing to learn any company software or system. You are a resource for your team with Excel.

You have a willingness to learn new things and take on new responsibilities.

You know that there are busy times in Accounting, and you are fully prepared to work longer hours when needed.
