Description

Trans Lease is seeking a detail-oriented and motivated Senior Accountant to support the day-to-day operations of our accounting department. This role is ideal for an experienced accounting professional who can independently own accounts receivable, accounts payable, and general accounting responsibilities across the department, rather than working within a single specialized silo, while also serving as a resource to less experienced team members. You'll work closely with the Accounting Lead and the broader accounting team to ensure accuracy, efficiency, and compliance across daily accounting functions.

WE OFFER A FULL BENEFITS PACKAGE FOR ELIGIBLE EMPLOYEES INCLUDING:

  • Medical, Dental, and Vision Insurance
  • Life (Voluntary and Employer Paid) and Disability Insurance
  • 401(K) with company match beginning with your first contribution
  • HSA and/or FSA, as applicable
  • Paid Time Off, Sick Time, and Company Paid Holidays
  • Employee Car Discount Program

ESSENTIAL DUTIES & RESPONSIBILITIES:

  • Own end-to-end processing, review, and reconciliation of accounts receivable, accounts payable, and general ledger functions across assigned entities.
  • Prepare and review journal entries, account reconciliations, and supporting schedules for accuracy and completeness.
  • Support month-end, quarter-end, and year-end close activities, including preparation of accurate and timely financial statements and reports.
  • Analyze account variances and financial data, providing commentary and recommendations to the Accounting Lead.
  • Serve as a resource to Associate Accountants, reviewing work and providing guidance on complex AR, AP, and general ledger transactions.
  • Support the annual audit and bank audit process by preparing schedules, responding to auditor requests, and resolving open items.
  • Assist with the preparation of departmental budgets and forecasts.
  • Help ensure compliance with local, state, and federal reporting requirements and tax filings.
  • Identify opportunities for process improvement and help implement modern accounting systems and automation tools.
  • Step in across AR, AP, or general accounting functions as needed to cover gaps and support a cross-trained, non-siloed team structure.
  • Other duties as assigned.

Requirements

WORK ENVIRONMENT & PHYSICAL ABILITIES:

  • Must be able to communicate, providing verbal and written feedback in a professional manner.
  • Requires frequent sitting, standing, balancing, bending, or stooping for prolonged periods of time.
  • Requires eye-hand coordination and manual dexterity sufficient to operate a keyboard, photocopier, telephone, calculator, and other office equipment.
  • Requires normal range of hearing and vision to record, prepare, and communicate appropriate reports.

REQUIRED EDUCATION, EXPERIENCE, KNOWLEDGE & SKILLS:

  • Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, or related field.
  • 4-7 years of accounting experience in a fast-paced environment, spanning accounts receivable, accounts payable, and/or general ledger functions.
  • Advanced knowledge of Microsoft Excel.
  • Ability to quickly adapt to new concepts, software, and procedures.
  • Valid driver's license with an MVR in good standing.
  • Demonstrated abilities in these areas: organization, accounting, strong data entry skills, strong math skills, utilization of multiple financial software systems, analyzing financial data, attention to detail, thoroughness, communication, and strong customer service skills.
  • Ability to work independently and within a team, including reviewing and guiding the work of others.
  • Demonstrated ability to meet deadlines.
  • Banking, accounting firm, or leasing industry experience is a plus.
