Sr. Accountant

Description

We are looking for an experienced Sr. Accountant to join a growing organization in Helena, Ohio and provide strong day-to-day accounting leadership in a hands-on environment. This contract position is ideal for someone who can work independently, bring structure to core accounting activities, and support accurate financial reporting during a period of operational change. The role offers the opportunity to contribute directly to month-end close, general ledger oversight, and project-based financial analysis while partnering closely with business and finance leaders.

Responsibilities:

• Lead the monthly close cycle from start to finish, ensuring deadlines are met and financial data is complete and accurate.

• Prepare and post journal entries while maintaining supporting documentation for key accounting transactions.

• Reconcile general ledger accounts, bank activity, and other balance sheet items to resolve discrepancies promptly.

• Perform detailed job costing reviews and analyze project-related financial information to support better business decisions.

• Assist with accounting system conversion efforts, including activities tied to moving from QuickBooks to Sage Intacct.

• Support the shift to accrual-based financial reporting by improving schedules, processes, and accounting documentation.

• Work closely with operational leaders and the Corporate Controller to address reporting needs and accounting issues.

• Help strengthen internal accounting procedures and controls within the acquired business entity.

• Contribute to special projects connected to acquisition integration and finance process improvement initiatives.

Requirements • Prior experience working at the Senior Accountant level with strong ownership of core accounting functions.

• Demonstrated ability to manage month-end close independently with limited supervision.

• Solid background in general ledger accounting, journal entries, and account reconciliations.

• Hands-on job costing experience, preferably within construction, roofing, manufacturing, or other project-driven environments.

• Familiarity with accounting system implementations, upgrades, or data conversion projects.

• Working knowledge of accrual accounting principles and financial reporting practices.

• Advanced Excel skills and the ability to analyze financial information efficiently.

• Strong organizational skills with the ability to operate effectively in an on-site, fast-moving setting.
