Are you an accounting professional who enjoys working in the general ledger, managing accruals and prepaids, and tackling detailed reconciliations? This Staff Accountant opportunity offers the chance to take ownership of high-volume accounting activities, contribute to month-end close, and join a collaborative team within a growing organization.

Why This Staff Accountant Opportunity Stands Out:

• Join an established, growing organization with a supportive accounting team that values collaboration and teamwork.

• Gain hands-on experience with NetSuite and exposure to an exciting ERP transformation.
• Enjoy a stable, hands-on accounting position where accuracy, attention to detail, and consistency are valued.

Key Responsibilities for the Staff Accountant:

• Perform general ledger accounting activities, including preparing and posting journal entries related to property operations.
• Manage a high volume of accruals and prepaid expense allocations, representing approximately 7080% of the role's responsibilities.
• Prepare and maintain property-related accruals, including HOA accruals, HOA prepaids, and other recurring expenses.
• Calculate, record, and reconcile prepaid expense allocations to ensure accurate financial reporting.
• Perform bank reconciliations and general ledger account reconciliations, researching and resolving discrepancies.

• Strong understanding of accrual-based accounting principles and GAAP.
• Comfortable handling high-volume, detail-oriented transactional accounting work while maintaining accuracy.
• Proficiency in Excel, including experience working with large amounts of financial data.

• Strong organizational skills, attention to detail, and ability to manage recurring deadlines.
• Collaborative, team-oriented mindset with a willingness to support colleagues and jump in where needed.

Why This Role Could Be a Great Fit:

This Staff Accountant position is ideal for someone who enjoys the hands-on, transactional side of accounting and takes pride in keeping the general ledger accurate and organized. With a significant focus on accruals, prepaid allocations, and reconciliations, this opportunity is especially well-suited for someone who thrives on detailed, repetitive accounting work and managing a high volume of transactions.

You'll join a collaborative team, gain exposure to property-related accounting, and have the opportunity to further develop your technical accounting skills in a growing organization.
