Full Job Description
We are looking for a sharp, resilient, and analytical Lead Staff Accountant to step into a critical role within our corporate finance function.

If you thrive in high-volume environments, possess a bulletproof understanding of account reconciliations, and actually enjoy the challenge of auditing and cleaning up messy, complex transactional data, we want to talk to you.

What You Will Do:

  • Master the Reconciliations: Take full ownership of complex monthly balance sheet reconciliations, driving total accuracy and structural integrity across our accounts.
  • Navigate Complex Data: Use your strong investigative skills to dive deep into high-volume general ledger data, quickly identifying, unpacking, and resolving discrepancies.
  • Drive the Close: Partner closely with the corporate accounting manager, senior analysts, and staff accountants to execute an efficient, accurate monthly close process.
  • Streamline and Optimize: Stay curious. Look for ways to improve internal controls, standardize procedures, and eliminate inefficiencies in our current workflows.
  • Support the Big Picture: Assist with annual corporate audit engagements, coordinate field testing, and pull key schedules for quarterly and annual tax requests.
  • Mentor and Lead: Serve as a subject matter expert and a supportive guide to help grow and develop junior staff accountants on the team.


What We Are Looking For:

  • The Right Education: A Bachelor's or Master's degree in Accounting or related field
  • The Sweet Spot of Experience: 5 to 8 years of progressive, hands-on accounting experience, ideally inside a high-volume corporate or enterprise environment.
  • Data & System Savvy: Advanced technical capability with Excel and direct experience navigating major enterprise resource planning systems (experience with Acumatica is a major plus).
  • A Fast Learning Curve: The ability to jump into unique, industry-specific business models, grasp complex data streams quickly, and solve problems independently.
  • Thought Leadership: A professional who doesn't just pass journal entries, but understands the GAAP guidance behind them and can communicate effectively across multiple departments.
