Arkansas Talent Group is exclusively partnering with one of Arkansas's largest and most well-established privately held companies in the state to help them find a Senior Accountant for their organization. They are headquartered in North Little Rock. This is a rare opportunity to join a tenured, high-performing accounting team and work directly under an experienced CFO who is known for developing top accounting talent.
The Senior Accountant will serve as a key contributor to the day-to-day and month-end accounting operations, playing an integral role in maintaining the financial integrity of the organization.
Key Responsibilities:
- Prepare and post journal entries accurately and in compliance with GAAP
- Own and manage the month-end and year-end close process, ensuring timely completion
- Perform general ledger reconciliations and balance sheet account analysis
- Assist with the preparation of monthly, quarterly, and annual financial statements
- Conduct bank reconciliations and resolve discrepancies in a timely manner
- Support intercompany reconciliations and allocations across multiple entities
- Collaborate with the CFO and accounting team on special projects, reporting initiatives, and process improvement efforts
- Maintain organized, audit-ready financial records and supporting documentation
- Assist with external audit preparation and tax filing support as needed
Ideal Candidate Background:
- Bachelor's degree in Accounting required
- Minimum of 2–5 years of corporate or public accounting experience
- Strong working knowledge of GAAP and general ledger accounting
- Experience with month-end close, financial statement preparation, and account reconciliations
- CPA or CPA candidate preferred, but not required
- Proficiency in Microsoft Excel and accounting ERP systems
- Strong attention to detail and organizational skills
- A collaborative, team-first attitude with the ability to work independently
Why This Opportunity Stands Out
- Work directly under a highly respected CFO with a team-oriented leadership style
- Join one of Arkansas's most established and financially sound privately held companies
- Competitive compensation, great benefits, strong bonus opportunities, beautiful offices, and a professional work environment
- Opportunity for long-term career growth within a well-capitalized organization
