Job Description




Ready to take ownership of the accounting cycle while expanding your experience across financial reporting, reconciliations, and month-end close? This is an excellent opportunity for an accounting professional seeking broad exposure, visibility, and the chance to contribute to key business decisions in a fast-paced environment.

Staff Accountant


Salary: $80,000 + OT
Location: Far Rockaway, Queens (Daily Onsite)

Why This Opportunity Stands Out:



  • Gain hands-on experience across general ledger accounting, financial reporting, account reconciliations, and month-end close activities.

  • Work directly with operations, leadership, and affiliated entities to support accurate and timely financial reporting.

  • Contribute to process improvements and internal control initiatives that drive accounting efficiency.

  • Build well-rounded accounting expertise through exposure to multiple areas of the finance function.

  • Utilize modern ERP and accounting systems while strengthening technical accounting skills.

  • Take ownership of meaningful projects and support strategic business decisions through financial analysis.

  • Expand your experience in audit preparation, compliance reporting, and financial statement support.

  • Join a stable, team-oriented environment that values professional growth, accountability, and continuous improvement.


Key Responsibilities for the Staff Accountant:



  • Prepare and post journal entries while maintaining accurate general ledger records.

  • Perform bank, balance sheet, credit card, and subsidiary ledger reconciliations.

  • Support month-end and year-end close activities, including accruals, prepaid expenses, fixed assets, payroll reconciliations, and account analysis.

  • Assist with accounts payable, accounts receivable, cash flow monitoring, and financial reporting.

  • Prepare audit schedules, variance analyses, and supporting documentation for tax, compliance, and regulatory requirements.


Qualifications for the Staff Accountant:



  • Bachelor’s degree in Accounting, Finance, or a related field.

  • 3+ years of accounting experience with general ledger and account reconciliation responsibilities.

  • Strong knowledge of month-end close processes and Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP).

  • Experience with accounting or ERP systems.

  • Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central experience is a plus.
