    • Assist with ad hoc reporting, special projects, and process improvement initiatives
    • Participate in regular cross-functional meetings and provide accounting support to stakeholders
    • Ensure adherence to accounting policies, procedures, and internal controls

    Qualifications

    • Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, or related field required
    • 5+ years of progressive accounting experience
    • Strong general ledger and month-end close experience
    • Experience with journal entries, accruals, and balance sheet reconciliations

    • Experience working within large ERP systems required
    • Strong analytical, organizational, and problem-solving skills
    • Ability to manage a high volume of work with minimal supervision
    • Excellent written and verbal communication skills

    Preferred Experience

    • Experience supporting large corporate environments
    • Experience supporting multiple entities, portfolios, projects, or operational groups
    • Background working in fast-paced, deadline-driven accounting environments

    What We're Looking For

    • A self-starter who can work independently and take ownership of responsibilities
    • Someone who thrives in a high-volume environment and consistently meets deadlines
    • A detail-oriented professional with strong decision-making skills
    • An accountant who enjoys partnering with operations and solving complex accounting issues
    • A team player who can adapt quickly and contribute immediately

    • Strong temp-to-hire potential
    • Exposure to a large, established organization
    • Opportunity to support a significant portfolio and gain broad accounting experience
    • Stable accounting team with long-term growth opportunities
