We are looking for an experienced Sr. Accountant to join a growing finance team in a contract capacity with the potential to become permanent. This role is ideal for someone who can step in quickly, take ownership of core accounting work, and help strengthen the month-end close process through accurate execution and clear documentation.

- Support the month-end close cycle by completing key accounting tasks and helping improve the overall close workflow.
- Document accounting procedures and reconciliation processes so responsibilities can be transitioned and performed consistently across the team.
- Assist with revenue recognition activities and ensure supporting entries are recorded in alignment with established policies.
- Review and organize financial data movements between entities or reporting categories as needed for accurate presentation.
- Partner with internal team members to learn existing processes, identify gaps, and provide dependable day-to-day accounting support.
- Strong experience in senior-level accounting roles with direct responsibility for month-end close activities.
- Solid knowledge of general ledger accounting, journal entries, and account reconciliation practices.
- Proven ability to complete bank reconciliations and research issues independently.
- Advanced Excel skills with the ability to work efficiently with detailed financial data.
- Experience documenting accounting processes and creating clear procedural guidance.
- Ability to adapt quickly, absorb existing workflows, and work with minimal supervision.
- NetSuite experience is preferred, though candidates with strong overall accounting systems experience will be considered.
