• Opportunity for a Senior Staff Accountant to play a lead role in system implementations and ongoing process improvements
• Broad visibility across departmental financials, group reporting, and enterprise-wide close activities
• Collaborative environment that values accuracy, accountability, and continuous improvement
• Competitive compensation, strong benefits, and long-term career growth potential

Key Responsibilities for the Senior Staff Accountant:

• Own the monthly close and reporting process as a Senior Staff Accountant, ensuring timely, accurate financial statements and variance analysis
• Review and prepare journal entries, account reconciliations, and supporting schedules while maintaining GAAP compliance as a Senior Staff Accountant
• Serve as a key Senior Staff Accountant partner to external audit and tax providers by preparing audit schedules and supporting annual filings
• Support budgeting, forecasting, and financial system enhancements as a Senior Staff Accountant, driving efficiency and process improvement

• Minimum of 3+ years of progressive accounting experience in a Senior Staff Accountant or similar role
