Staff Accountant

The Staff Accountant supports the daily accounting operations of a multi-entity holding company operating across diverse industries. Reporting to the Accounting Manager, this role is responsible for accurate and timely transaction processing across multiple areas of accounting — including accounts payable, accounts receivable, general ledger, and other functions as assigned. The position is designed to provide broad exposure over time, allowing the individual to develop well-rounded accounting knowledge across entities and industries. The ideal candidate is detail-oriented, dependable, proficient in Microsoft Excel, and eager to grow within a collaborative and fast-paced team environment.

Responsibilities

1. Multi-Area Accounting Operations

Process and record financial transactions across accounts payable, accounts receivable, and general ledger functions for multiple entities in various industries.
Review, code, and enter vendor invoices, credit notes, expense reports, and purchasing card receipts.
Support accounts receivable activities including invoice preparation, payment application, and customer account reconciliations.
Prepare and post routine journal entries with accuracy and proper supporting documentation.
Assist with reconciliations of assigned balance sheet accounts as part of the month-end close process.
Prepare daily deposits and apply cash receipts across assigned entities.
Maintain proper vendor and customer account setups, ensuring required documentation (e.g., W-9s, applications) is on file.

2. Financial Reporting & Compliance

Assist in the preparation of internal financial reports and schedules for management review.
Support external audit requests by compiling workpapers, schedules, and documentation.
Ensure adherence to established accounting policies, internal controls, and segregation of duties.
Help maintain audit-ready documentation for all financial records across entities.
Support year-end processes such as 1099 preparation and year-end workpapers as assigned.

3. Process & Systems Support

Use accounting systems (PDI experience a plus) to enter, track, and report financial data accurately.
Identify opportunities to improve efficiency in transaction processing and reporting workflows.
Assist in documenting and maintaining standard operating procedures for assigned processes.
Support system upgrades, testing, or automation initiatives with guidance from senior accounting staff.
Maintain and utilize document management and workflow tools to support processing efficiency.

4. Team Collaboration & Professional Development

Partner with team members to resolve discrepancies and ensure accuracy across accounts and entities.
Communicate clearly with colleagues, vendors, customers, and other internal and external stakeholders.
Provide backup coverage for other accounting functions as needed to support team continuity.
Seek feedback and training to expand knowledge across multiple accounting disciplines and industries.
Contribute to a culture of accuracy, accountability, and continuous improvement.

Skills

Required: Proficiency in Microsoft Excel (formulas, sorting, filtering, pivot tables, and data organization).
Familiarity with accounting software; PDI experience preferred.
Strong attention to detail and organizational skills.
Ability to manage multiple tasks, prioritize effectively, and meet deadlines across entities.
Effective written and verbal communication skills.
Ability to analyze financial data and identify discrepancies.
Eagerness to learn and grow within a collaborative team environment.

Experience & Education

A degree in Accounting or an equivalent business major is preferred but not required.
3–5 years of professional experience is desired, particularly accounts receivable or accounts payable.
Experience in a multi-entity environment or across multiple industries is a plus but not required.

Physical Requirements

Work Environment: Office-based with flexibility for occasional remote work.
Frequent use of hands and fingers; handling and feeling objects; walking, sitting, reaching, stooping, kneeling, crouching, talking, and hearing.
Must physically submit to periodic drug, background, and clearance screenings (employment is contingent upon favorable results).
