About The Position

The Staff Accountant is responsible for a defined set of month-end accounting, reconciliation, and tax-compliance activities in accordance with Company policy and U.S. GAAP. The role owns U.S. sales & use and property tax filings, all intercompany reconciliations and journal entries (including foreign exchange and cash pool/sweep entries), prepaid accounting, annual surveys and business license renewals, and a range of other journals and balance sheet reconciliations. Working closely with and coached by the Senior Accountant, the Staff Accountant has clear room to grow — as skills and experience develop, the Senior Accountant will delegate additional and more complex responsibilities, providing a path to broaden scope over time. Accuracy, timeliness, and strong follow-through are essential to keeping the general ledger complete and audit ready.
