Description
Calling all accounting pros! Are you ready to bring your expertise (and maybe your secret love for Excel shortcuts) to a role that's as rewarding as it is fun? Keep reading, because we've got the perfect contract opportunity for you!
We're working with a fantastic, forward-thinking company in Kent, WA that's looking for a detail-loving, multi-tasking, big-picture-thinking Senior Accountant to join their team on a contract basis. You'll be a central player, overseeing critical accounting functions, tackling challenges head-on, and flexing those financial muscles in a fast-paced but supportive environment. Bonus? You'll have the chance to sharpen your skills, build relationships, and gain valuable experience while doing what you already do best.
Spoiler alert: If deadlines, problem-solving, and spreadsheets energize you, this job is practically tailor-made for you!
What You'll Be Doing:
+ Oversee and reconcile general ledger accounts (you know, your happy place).
+ Manage and execute month-end and year-end close tasks like the pro you are.
+ Prepare and analyze financial reports to ensure they comply with GAAP standards.
+ Handle advanced journal entries, accruals, and revenue recognition with finesse.
+ Take ownership of key projects like supporting audits and process improvements (because we know you're a go-getter).
+ Assist in budgeting and forecasting to ensure financial clarity and strategic decision-making.
+ Collaborate with cross-functional teams to streamline accounting operations.
Requirements
What We're Looking For:
+ A Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, or a related field
+ 5+ years of experience as an accountant, with deep expertise in GL, financial reporting, and external audits.
+ Strong knowledge of GAAP and accounting best practices-basically, you're an accounting encyclopedia.
+ Experience with ERP systems such as NetSuite, SAP, or Microsoft Dynamics is a big plus.
+ Advanced Excel skills (pivot tables and VLOOKUPs are second nature to you).
+ A commitment to solving problems, meeting deadlines, and championing accuracy.
+ Communication chops and a collaborative mindset-you're the accountant everyone loves to work with.
