As the Senior Accountant - Capabilities (part-time), you'll provide accounting support for our Legal and Human Resource teams. You will be responsible for accruals, reserves, and other unique accounting needs for Best Buy's Legal department and HR initiatives. You will work closely with partners on the Corporate Capabilities Controllership team and collaborate with Financial Planning & Analysis, Human Resources, Legal, External Reporting, and external auditors.

This role is hybrid, which means you will work some days on site at the Best Buy location listed on this posting and some days virtually from home or another non‑Best Buy location.

This role is part-time, which means you will work 24-32 hours per week. Your schedule will be set at the time of hire based on your preference and business needs.

What you'll do
  • Perform month-end close activities, including preparing journal entries and reporting, completing account reconciliations, and providing clear analysis and written variance commentary.
  • Test and maintain key SOX controls and related IUC documentation for Process #50 (Legal).
  • Identify automation and efficiency opportunities, with an emphasis on Microsoft 365 Copilot, and implement solutions to improve and streamline accounting processes.
  • Research technical accounting topics as new benefit programs arise; document conclusions and recommend accounting treatment to meet internal and external reporting requirements.
  • Provide input to budgeting and forecasting; help identify business risks and opportunities and understand drivers of financial trends.
  • Partner with the extended Capabilities and Leases CAO teams on shared work and cross‑functional projects as business needs arise.
