Staff Accountant

Job Overview
The Staff Accountant supports the accounting function by owning a defined set of recurring activities — prepaid expenses, fixed assets, property tax filings, and general journal entries — along with the account reconciliations tied to them. This role is central to the accuracy of the monthly general ledger and to maintaining clean, well-documented accounting records.

Duties

• Own the prepaid expense schedule: set up new prepaids, record monthly amortization, and reconcile the prepaid accounts each month.
• Maintain the fixed-asset subledger: record additions, disposals, and transfers; run monthly depreciation; and prepare the monthly fixed-asset roll-forward.
• Prepare and file property tax returns (personal property/business personal property), using the fixed-asset listing as the basis; track assessments, payments, and filing deadlines by jurisdiction.
• Prepare and post recurring and adjusting journal entries to the general ledger in accordance with established procedures.
• Reconcile assigned balance-sheet accounts monthly, investigating and clearing discrepancies on a timely basis.
• Maintain accurate, complete, and well-documented accounting records and supporting schedules.
• Support the month-end and year-end close by completing assigned entries and reconciliations within the close calendar.
• Provide documentation and explanations during audits and financial reviews as requested.
• Assist with ad hoc schedules and analyses within assigned areas as the role develops.
• Coordinate with other finance team members and departments to resolve questions affecting prepaids, fixed assets, property tax, and the general ledger.
• Perform other duties as assigned.

Experience

• Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, or a related field (or equivalent experience).
• 1–3 years of accounting experience; exposure to fixed assets, prepaids, and/or property tax filings a plus.
• Proficiency in Microsoft Excel; comfort working in an ERP or accounting system (e.g., QuickBooks).
• Strong attention to detail and accuracy in data entry and reconciliations.
• Solid organizational skills and the ability to meet recurring monthly deadlines.
• Clear communicator who works well within a team.
• High integrity in handling confidential financial information.
• Self-motivated with a strong sense of ownership over assigned areas.
