What are the responsibilities and job description for the Accountant position at CAROLINA PRG?
Accountant
Hybrid | Distribution Industry | Growth-Oriented Organization
Our client is a well-established and highly respected distribution company that is exceptionally well positioned for continued growth, both organically and through acquisition. As the organization continues to scale, they are adding an Accountant to play a role in supporting core accounting operations and ongoing process improvement initiatives.
This is a great opportunity for an accounting professional who enjoys a blend of traditional accounting responsibilities and exposure to senior leadership, all while gaining hands-on experience with a top-tier ERP system.
What You’ll Do
- Support the monthly close process, including preparing journal entries, completing account reconciliations, and performing account analysis.
- Research accounting and financial questions for management, including investigating and explaining variances, trends, and results against expectations.
- Collaborate across departments and contribute to ongoing process improvement initiatives.
- Interpret and apply GAAP and other relevant accounting guidance to contracts, transactions, and business activities.
- Partner with internal teams on special projects supporting company growth and operational improvements.
- Identify and implement opportunities to strengthen accounting processes, internal controls, and financial reporting as the business evolves.
- Serve as a trusted accounting partner to leadership by providing accurate financial information, thoughtful analysis, and clear insights.
Why This Role Stands Out
- Hybrid schedule that supports flexibility and work-life balance
- High-visibility to the Manager and Controller
- Work on a larger team of accountants
- Public company exposure without SEC reporting grind
- Manager committed to mentorship and growth paths
- Stable, growing organization with national scale and complexity
What We’re Looking For
- Bachelor’s degree in Accounting or a related field
- 1-3 years of experience in general ledger accounting, month-end close, and account reconciliations
- Strong analytical skills with the ability to explain financial activity to non-accounting stakeholders
- Comfort working with sensitive, high-importance accounts where accuracy and discretion matter
- Interest in process improvement, systems, and continuous learning
- ERP experience or exposure is a plus, but not required
- Public accounting or distribution industry experience is helpful, but not mandatory
