Full Job Description

Staff Accountant

Sales Tax and General Accounting

Department: Accounting / Finance

Reports to Controller

Location: Hickory, KY (on-site)

Status: Full-time, Exempt

Position Summary

The Staff Accountant is responsible for multi-state sales and use tax compliance and for a range of general accounting duties supporting the month-end close. This role owns the sales tax reporting cycle end to end — from transaction-level tax determination through return filing, reconciliation, and audit support — while also preparing journal entries, performing account reconciliations, and assisting with financial reporting across multiple legal entities.

This is a strong fit for an accountant who is comfortable owning a compliance function independently, enjoys working across systems, and wants exposure to a growing multi-entity organization.

Key Responsibilities

Sales and Use Tax (Primary Focus)

Prepare, review, and file monthly, quarterly, and annual sales and use tax returns across multiple states and local jurisdictions.
Maintain and monitor the Avalara integration with NetSuite, including tax code mapping, product taxability, jurisdiction assignment, and destination-based sourcing.
Reconcile sales tax liability accounts to filed returns and to the general ledger each month; research and resolve variances.
Manage exemption and resale certificate collection, validation, and renewal; maintain customer exemption records in NetSuite.
Monitor economic nexus thresholds by state and coordinate new registrations, account set-up, and filing calendars as thresholds are met.
Respond to state and local notices, information requests, and audits; assemble supporting documentation and draft responses.
Track legislative and rate changes affecting the company's jurisdictions and recommend system or process updates.
Assist with business license, gross receipts, and other indirect tax filings as assigned.

General Accounting

Prepare and post recurring and non-recurring journal entries, including accruals, prepaids, and allocations, with appropriate supporting documentation.
Perform monthly reconciliations.
Support the month-end and year-end close process, meeting assigned close deadlines.
Maintain schedules for fixed assets, prepaid expenses, and other recurring analyses.
Assist with intercompany transactions and reconciliations across affiliated entities.
Prepare account analyses and variance explanations for management review.
Support external accountants and lenders with requested schedules, reconciliations, and documentation.
Identify and recommend improvements to accounting processes, documentation, and internal controls; assist in developing and maintaining written procedures.
Perform other general accounting duties as assigned.

Qualifications

Required

Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, or a related business field.
2+ years of progressive accounting experience, including journal entry preparation and account reconciliation.
Working knowledge of GAAP and the month-end close cycle.
Strong Excel skills (pivot tables, lookups, large data sets).
Demonstrated accuracy, attention to detail, and ability to meet recurring deadlines.
Ability to research questions independently and communicate findings clearly to non-accountants.

Preferred

Hands-on multi-state sales and use tax compliance experience.
Experience with NetSuite (or a comparable mid-market ERP).
Experience with Avalara or a similar sales tax automation platform.
Experience in a multi-entity environment, including intercompany accounting.
Distribution, wholesale, manufacturing, or e-commerce industry background.
Exposure to state tax audits or notice resolution.
CPA, CPA candidate, or progress toward certification.

Core Competencies

Ownership — takes responsibility for a recurring compliance calendar without day-to-day supervision.
Analytical thinking — reconciles across systems and identifies the root cause of discrepancies rather than plugging differences.
Communication — explains tax and accounting issues clearly to operations, sales, and leadership.
Adaptability — comfortable in a growing organization where processes are still being built and refined.
Integrity — handles confidential financial information with discretion.

Work Environment

Office-based position in Hickory, KY. Standard business hours with additional hours as needed during month-end close and filing deadlines.

Benefits:
