About the Role:

As a Senior Accountant you will be responsible for managing month-end close activities, overseeing inventory accounting, creating invoices, applying payments, and maintaining accurate financial records across multiple business divisions. The Senior Accountant will play a key role in ensuring the integrity of financial statements and conducting regular Profit & Loss (P&L) reviews for each division.

Responsibilities:

• Month-End Close: Prepare and manage month-end close entries, ensuring all financial transactions are recorded accurately and timely. Review and reconcile general ledger accounts.
• Inventory Accounting: Oversee inventory accounting, including tracking inventory movements, recording adjustments, and ensuring accuracy in cost of goods sold (COGS).
• Invoicing & Payment Application: Create and issue invoices, apply incoming payments, and ensure proper recording of all transactions. Collaborate with the accounts receivable team to resolve any discrepancies.

What Success Looks Like:

Success as a Senior Accountant is a mix of technical expertise, attention to detail, strong communication, and the ability to drive financial accuracy and efficiency within an organization. Senior Accountants often play a critical role in ensuring that financial statements are accurate, tax regulations are adhered to, and that the company's financial health is properly represented to both internal and external stakeholders.

• Tax Compliance: Being proficient in tax laws, and ensuring that the company meets its tax obligations while minimizing tax liabilities within legal boundaries, is critical. Success means timely filing of tax returns, accurate tax provisioning, and staying updated on tax law changes.
• Financial Policies and Procedures: Success also means developing, maintaining, and enforcing internal accounting controls, policies, and procedures that ensure the company complies with accounting standards and regulations.
• Month-End Close A key metric of success for Senior Accountants is the ability to close the books on time every month. This includes reviewing entries, processing journal entries, ensuring all expenses and revenues are accounted for, and reconciling accounts. A smooth, efficient close is often a sign of solid processes and strong attention to detail.
• Efficient Process Improvement Continuously finding ways to make the month-end close process faster, more efficient, and more accurate is another indicator of success. Implementing tools or automating parts of the process to reduce manual errors and save time is a key skill for senior accountants.
