About the role

As Staff Accountant, you own the discipline that keeps the general ledger clean, catches variances before they become questions, and delivers trusted numbers for decision-makers.

• Two or more years of accounting experience covering general ledger, reconciliations, and accounts receivable.
• Working knowledge of GAAP, accrual accounting, the monthly close cycle, and basic revenue recognition.
• Intermediate to advanced Excel skills—pivot tables, lookup functions, conditional formulas—and comfort working inside large transaction data sets.
• Hands-on experience with an accounting or ERP platform; ability to run, modify, and interpret standard financial reports.
• Sound judgment with confidential financial information and clear, direct communication across departments.

Physical & Environmental Requirements
