What are the responsibilities and job description for the Senior Accountant position at Channel Fusion?
About the Role
Channel Fusion is transforming from a services-heavy channel marketing company into a product-led, AI-enabled platform business. As we scale, our Finance function needs to scale with it — with clean books, tight close cycles, and accounting infrastructure that can support a growing, increasingly complex organization.
The Senior Staff Accountant will own core accounting operations for Channel Fusion — month-end close, account reconciliations, payroll reconciliation, capitalized labor and fixed assets, and recurring tax compliance filings — reporting directly to the Director of Finance. This is a hands-on, high-ownership role for someone who wants to run their piece of the close, not just execute tasks inside it.
What You Ow
- nReconciliations & Month-End Close — Prepare monthly balance sheet reconciliations for all accounts, resolve reconciling items timely, and own the month-end close checklist and calendar. Prepare and post journal entries, including accruals, prepaids, and amortization
- .Banking Execution — Perform bank reconciliations across multiple accounts. Execute internal fund transfers directing client payments to the correct accounts, based on instructions from the payments team, following established authorization and verification procedures
- .Capitalized Labor & Fixed Assets — Track and calculate capitalized labor. Maintain fixed asset registers and amortization schedules
- .Payroll Reconciliation — Support payroll processing and reconciliation. Reconcile payroll registers to the general ledger and assist with benefits and deduction reconciliations
- .Recurring Tax & Compliance Filings — Prepare and file sales and use tax returns and other recurring compliance filings on schedule
- .Financial Reporting Support — Assist in preparing and reviewing monthly financial statements. Flag variances and unusual items to the Director of Finance
- .Billing & AP Accuracy — Review billing entries and accounts payable transactions for accuracy, completeness, and proper coding, partnering with the billing team to resolve discrepancies
.What You Do NOT Ow
- nTax strategy and complex/annual tax filings — Owned by the Director of Finance and outside tax/CPA firm. You own recurring, routine filings (e.g., sales and use tax) on an established cadence
- .Final financial statement sign-off — Owned by the Director of Finance. Your job is accurate preparation and clear variance flagging, not final certification
- .Banking authorization limits and procedures — Owned by the Director of Finance. You execute transfers within established, pre-approved authorization and verification procedures — you do not set or modify them
- .Billing terms and pricing — Owned by the billing team. You review entries for accuracy and coding, not commercial terms
- .Payroll policy and benefits plan design — Owned by HR/People. You reconcile payroll and benefits deductions to the general ledger; you do not set policy
- .Budget approval — Owned by the Director of Finance
