Kforce's client, a large, established organization in Grand Rapids, MI, is seeking a Senior Accountant to join its Financial Reporting function in a review-level role supporting multi-entity operations. Summary: This team is prioritizing candidates who have hands-on experience applying AI and/or automation within accounting workflows. You should be able to demonstrate how you've leveraged automation to improve close processes, reconciliations, reporting accuracy, or efficiency. This is a core requirement, not a preference. Key Responsibilities:
  • Support the general ledger close cycle (month, quarter, year-end) including journal entries and reconciliations
  • Prepare and analyze financial statements and supporting schedules
  • Ensure accuracy and integrity of the general ledger and financial reporting
  • Identify, investigate, and resolve variances and discrepancies
  • Drive process improvements, with a focus on automation and efficiency
  • Support audit and compliance activities, including documentation and controls
  • Assist with budgeting and forecasting processes, including system and reporting support
  • Collaborate cross-functionally to enhance financial visibility and decision-making

Requirements:

  • Bachelor's degree in Accounting required
  • CPA or CMA preferred but not required
  • Approximately 5+ years of progressive accounting experience
  • Strong background in GL accounting, close processes, and GAAP
  • Experience working with large datasets and performing detailed financial analysis
  • Advanced Excel skills
  • Demonstrated use of AI and/or automation in an accounting or finance setting (required)

The pay range is the lowest to highest compensation we reasonably in good faith believe we would pay at posting for this role. We may ultimately pay more or less than this range. Employee pay is based on factors like relevant education, qualifications, certifications, experience, skills, seniority, location, performance, union contract and business needs. This range may be modified in the future.

We offer comprehensive benefits including medical/dental/vision insurance, HSA, FSA, 401(k), and life, disability & ADD insurance to eligible employees. Salaried personnel receive paid time off. Hourly employees are not eligible for paid time off unless required by law. Hourly employees on a Service Contract Act project are eligible for paid sick leave.

Note: Pay is not considered compensation until it is earned, vested and determinable. The amount and availability of any compensation remains in Kforce's sole discretion unless and until paid and may be modified in its discretion consistent with the law.

This job is not eligible for bonuses, incentives or commissions.
