About the Role

Our client is a profitable company with a strong, capable accounting team, and we're looking for an Accountant to join them and help take things to the next level. You'll report directly to, and work closely with, the VP, Corporate Controller — learning their revenue process, assisting with month-end close, and partnering on account reconciliations, while also helping shape how their accounting function operates day to day. This is a role for someone senior in experience and mindset: someone who works independently brings good judgment to their work and is motivated to improve processes rather than simply maintain them. We'd also love someone who has embraced AI tools in their own work and, ideally, has helped their team do the same. 

You Will

• Learn our revenue process and help ensure it runs smoothly and is recognized in accordance with ASC 606

• Assist with month-end close entries

• Partner with the VP, Corporate Controller on account reconciliations, including clean-up related to a business unit split and ensuring all accounts are reconciled, documented and follow appropriate review channels.

• Support accounts receivable (AR) and accounts payable (AP)

• Identify opportunities to improve accounting processes and help build the solutions

• Collaborate closely with our internal team, communicating clearly and effectively

• Bring AI tools into daily accounting work, and help drive their adoption across the team

Why This Role

You'll be joining a profitable company and a strong, well-established accounting team, working in close partnership with the VP, Corporate Controller.
