Job Description

Staff Accountant


Location: Seymour, CT (Hybrid)
Salary: $70,000–$77,500


Why You'll Love This Role


This is a rare opportunity to build a well-rounded accounting skill set fast. You'll work across multiple companies/entities, giving you exposure most Staff Accountant roles don't offer — from financial reporting and reconciliations to audits, sales & use tax, and fixed assets. If you're looking to grow your career in a collaborative environment that actually respects work/life balance, this is it.



  • Broad scope, real growth — touch financial reporting, reconciliations, journal entries, audits, sales & use tax, and fixed assets

  • Multi-entity exposure — build experience that's hard to find in a single-company role

  • Hybrid flexibility — genuine work/life balance

  • Strong benefits — health & life insurance, 401(k) match, PTO, and paid holidays

  • Supportive, collaborative culture — cross-functional exposure across the business


What You'll Do



  • Perform daily cash reconciliations and review positive pay exceptions

  • Prepare internal financial statements and journal entries

  • Record payroll journal entries and reconcile intercompany accounts

  • Prepare monthly balance sheet reconciliations and supporting schedules

  • Complete monthly bank reconciliations

  • Initiate ACH payments and bank transfers

  • Assist with financial and insurance audits

  • Prepare and file sales and use tax returns

  • Maintain fixed asset records and depreciation schedules

  • Partner cross-functionally with departments across multiple companies

  • Support month-end and year-end close processes


What We're Looking For



  • Bachelor's degree in Accounting or Finance

  • 2–3+ years of accounting experience

  • Strong understanding of journal entries, reconciliations, and general accounting processes

  • Comfort working in a fast-paced, multi-company environment

  • Strong Excel and Microsoft Office skills

  • QuickBooks experience preferred

  • Excellent organizational skills and attention to detail

  • Strong written and verbal communication skills
