About The Position

CAP3 is looking for a Senior Accountant to join their team in Wilmington, NC. This is a hands-on accounting role for someone who enjoys more than simply checking accounts and preparing financial statements. Our Senior Accountants are a critical part of the team responsible for making sure our clients' financial information is accurate, timely, understood, and useful. You'll work closely with many on our team to review client financials, lead the month-end close process, prepare financial reporting packages, and help clients understand their current cash position and upcoming needs through the preparation of cash projections. This is a great role for someone who has a strong accounting foundation but also wants to understand how the numbers connect to the day-to-day operation of a business.

Requirements

Analytical – You don't just look at a number; you ask why it changed.
Detail-oriented – You understand that small accounting errors can create big problems.
Proactive – You identify issues before someone has to tell you about them.
Business-minded – You understand that financial statements tell a story about how a business is operating.
Organized – You can manage multiple clients, deadlines, and priorities.
Accountable – When you own something, you see it through.
Communicative – You can clearly explain an accounting issue to someone who isn't an accountant.
Problem-solving – You enjoy figuring out what is wrong and determining how to fix it.
Coachable – You welcome feedback and are always looking for ways to improve.
Hands-on – You're comfortable getting into the details when the situation requires it.
