    • Support month-end close and general ledger activities
    • Work with large sets of accounting data to identify exceptions and variances
    • Utilize Excel to organize, analyze, and reconcile financial information
    • Assist with additional accounting projects and operational needs as assigned

    Qualifications

    • Previous accounting experience required
    • Hands-on experience with bank reconciliations, cash reconciliations, and journal entries
    • Comfortable handling high-volume transaction activity
    • Experience working within an ERP or accounting system
    • Intermediate Microsoft Excel skills, including PivotTables and VLOOKUP/XLOOKUP
    • Ability to analyze data and identify discrepancies or unusual activity
    • Strong attention to detail and accuracy
    • Comfortable performing detailed, repetitive accounting work
    • Ability to work independently and meet deadlines
    • Strong communication and organizational skills

    Nice to Have

    • Experience working in a multi-entity accounting environment
    • NetSuite experience
    • Intercompany accounting exposure
    • Experience supporting a high-volume accounting operation

    This is a great opportunity for a Staff Accountant who is strong in reconciliations and transactional accounting and can step into a high-volume environment and contribute quickly.
