About the opportunity

The candidate should have a minimum of 7 years of progressive responsibility in a general ledger accounting environment. They must also have working knowledge of the full accounting cycle and demonstrate an intermediate understanding of business best practices and control frameworks. The candidate should possess a strong understanding of GAAP in their everyday work, including conducting accounting technical research when required. Someone who has direct accounting exposure to acquisitions, including the creation of the opening balance sheet by assigning fair values to associated assets and liabilities, is highly desired.

How you will make a difference

• Collaborate with the Director of Accounting to develop the opening balance sheet for new acquisitions.
• Integrate critical finance processes from acquired companies into the shared accounting services model, including accounts receivable/payable, general ledger accounting, and the implementation of standard policies and procedures.
• Frequently address departmental challenges by leveraging existing systems and technology to ensure automated, reliable, and consistent outcomes, often involving independent research, analysis, and cross-functional collaboration.
• Manage annual business insurance renewals.
• Lead special sales tax projects.
• Contribute to other projects as assigned.
