Capitol Broadcasting Company Inc • Raleigh, NC

8h • Onsite

About The Position

Capitol Broadcasting Company is seeking a full-time Senior Accountant for Corporate Finance and Accounting. The Senior Accountant plays a critical role in the integrity of the general ledger across CBC’s business units - owning treasury and cash reconciliation, payroll and benefits accounting, month-end close support, and the audit deliverables that depend on them. This individual serves as a key partner to the Assistant Corporate Controller, the Accounting Manager, and BU finance leaders, providing accurate reconciliations, clear account analysis, and the disciplined, repeatable process behind both recurring deliverables and the annual audit cycle. The ideal candidate will possess strong analytical and process skills and the ability to run recurring close cycles with precision. This role requires a proactive, self-motivated individual who can work independently as well as collaboratively to support the Assistant Corporate Controller, the broader Corporate F&A team, the VP Finance, and the CFO. A builder at heart, this person reaches for AI first - using tools like Claude to automate recurring reconciliations, accelerate account analysis, and build documented, scalable systems that eliminate manual work and elevate the entire Corporate Accounting function’s capacity.
