Job description
Our client is looking for a Senior Accountant for a 6-month project with potential to be hired full-time.

About the Opportunity

1. Forensic Execution & "Line in the Sand" (First 14 Days)
  • Opening Balance Validation: Execute the detailed testing and reconciliation of the inherited FY26 Trial Balance. Document every discrepancy or "sloppy" historical entry to support the CFO's risk report to the Board.
  • Recap Audit Support: Verify the technical accuracy of the recapitalization entries in the General Ledger to ensure the FY26 starting position is bulletproof.
  • Data Scrub: Perform a forensic "sanity check" on high-exposure accounts (Accruals, Prepaids, Intercompany) to identify hidden liabilities or technical debt.
2. Operational Reset & R2R Excellence
  • Full-Cycle Accounting: Own the daily transactional integrity of the R2R cycle. In partnership with the existing team, ensure every expense, accrual, and adjustment is recorded with institutional-grade precision.
  • Working Paper Standardization: Transition all manual reconciliations into a standardized, audit-ready format within FloQast. Ensure every entry is supported by contemporaneous working papers.
    Team Integration: Work seamlessly with the 2.5 FTE accounting staff to clear the reconciliation backlog and enforce new "zero-defect" documentation standards.
3. Structural Rationalization & Integration
  • Entity & Bank Execution: Act as the primary executor for the closure of redundant bank accounts and the consolidation of legal entities. Manage the migration of balances and update system mappings in Sage Intacct.
  • Process Automation: Partner with the Systems Manager to replace manual "Excel patches" with automated workflows, specifically targeting bank matching and intercompany eliminations.
  • SOP Development: Document every core R2R workflow you execute. Your work will form the "Standard Operating Procedure" (SOP) library for the permanent Finance team.

About You
  • CPA designated with audit experience
  • 7+ years of experience with heavy emphasis on multi-entity SaaS environment
  • Strong audit experience ideally from Big 4
  • Sage Intacct
  • Hands-on, well-organized, works well independently

Pay Rate:
$45.00/Hour
