About The Position

The Groove is building a formal finance and accounting function as the company grows, transitioning from a founder-run FreshBooks setup to an accrual-basis close in Workday. The Staff Accountant will handle day-to-day accounting work, including reconciliations, journal entries, accounts payable and receivable support, and general ledger activities. This is an opportunity to help establish the finance function while working directly with the CFO and an experienced Controller Consultant. The role will take on increasing responsibility for recurring, process-driven accounting work as Workday automation is implemented.

Requirements

• Bachelor's degree in Accounting.
• 3–5 years of general ledger or staff accounting experience, including journal entries, account reconciliations, AP/AR, and month-end close support.
• Solid working knowledge of GAAP and double-entry accounting fundamentals.
• Comfort using Excel for reconciliation and analysis, including lookups and pivot tables.
• High attention to detail and ability to work through unresolved or messy data to find the right answer.
• Self-starter comfortable working in a lean, fast-moving environment with some ambiguity.

Nice To Haves

• Workday Financials experience.
• Experience in a professional services or consulting business, including time-and-billing or project-based revenue.
• Prior exposure to a system conversion or ERP implementation.
• Interest in growing into a senior accountant or assistant controller role as the function matures.

Responsibilities

• Perform monthly and quarterly bank reconciliations in Workday, including researching and clearing unapplied deposits and cash.
• Reconcile balance sheet accounts each quarter on an accrual basis and investigate and correct unnatural or stale balances.
• Support the transition to accrual-basis accounting by preparing prepaid amortization, depreciation, payroll/PTO/bonus/commission accruals, and other standard month-end adjustments under the Controller Consultant's direction.
• Assist with accounts payable, including invoice coding, cost-center/worktag completion, and 1099 vendor tracking alongside the AP/payroll lead.
• Assist with accounts receivable, including cash application, unapplied payment research, and support for weekly reconciliation of time-and-billing data.
• Support payroll-related reconciliations, including matching payroll journal entries to ADP settlement detail and reviewing benefits deductions for accuracy.
• Help build and maintain a documented monthly close checklist.
• Take on increasing responsibility for recurring, process-driven accounting work as Workday automation for bank reconciliation, AP workflow, and revenue recognition comes online.
