CFS
Oakbrook, IL
Staff Accountant
Salary: $75,000 – $90,000
Why This Opportunity Stands Out:
• High-visibility Staff Accountant position with a growing, well-established financial services organization
• Opportunity to work directly with senior accountants and finance leaders on complex projects and reporting initiatives
• Clear promotion pathways into senior accounting, financial reporting, or analysis roles
• Collaborative environment where the Staff Accountant is a true partner to operations, compliance, and client teams
• Competitive benefits package with strong emphasis on professional development (CPA support, training, mentorship)
• Balanced work schedule with opportunities for career advancement as the company continues to expand
Key Responsibilities for the Staff Accountant:
• Assist with month-end close, including journal entries, reconciliations, and variance analysis
• Prepare financial statements and supporting schedules in compliance with GAAP and company policies
• Support external audits by maintaining accurate records and providing necessary documentation
• Partner with operations and client service teams to ensure accuracy in revenue recognition and expense reporting
• Maintain and improve internal controls, accounting policies, and financial processes
• Provide ad hoc reporting and analysis to support leadership decisions
• The Staff Accountant will play a critical role in ensuring the accuracy and integrity of financial information across the organization
Qualifications for the Staff Accountant:
• Bachelor’s degree in Accounting or Finance; CPA track preferred
• 2–4 years of accounting experience, ideally in financial services, public accounting, or a similar fast-paced environment
• Strong understanding of US GAAP and internal controls
• Proficiency in Excel and experience with ERP/accounting software
• Excellent attention to detail and organizational skills
• Strong communication skills with the ability to collaborate across teams
• A successful Staff Accountant will be analytical, motivated, and eager to take ownership of their work while growing within the company
This is an exciting opportunity for a hands-on Staff Accountant ready to step into a visible, high-impact role at a financial services firm that values initiative, accuracy, and professional growth.
