Job Description
This Staff Accountant role provides hands-on transactional and operational accounting support during a period of internal coverage shifts. You will step into day-to-day accounting and administrative gaps, focusing on accounts payable, accounts receivable, reconciliations, and sales tax activities while helping to reduce workload for the core accounting team.

• Assist with resolving payment issues and transactional discrepancies across vendors, customers, and internal teams.
• Prepare financial statements and support the month-end closing process as needed, including light journal entry support where appropriate.
• Provide general ledger support on a light basis, focusing on transactional and operational tasks rather than complex technical accounting.
• Manage and respond to a high volume of emails, prioritizing tasks and maintaining clear, professional communication.
• Complete forms, credit applications, and other accounting-related documentation accurately and in a timely manner.
• Follow up on outstanding items with internal stakeholders and external vendors to ensure completion and resolution.
• Act as a catch-all support resource, taking on general tasks that fall through the cracks and helping to keep accounting operations running smoothly.
• Support bank audits and coordinate with external tax accountants by providing requested information and documentation.
• Act as a support hub for various accounting-related needs, taking on overflow work from the accounting team during periods of tight bandwidth.
• Operate with minimal training, quickly learning systems and processes to provide immediate value.
• Assist wherever bandwidth is needed in accounting operations, demonstrating flexibility and a willingness to help across different task types.
