Staff Accountant

Salary: $65,000 – $75,000

Why This Opportunity Stands Out:

• High-visibility Staff Accountant position with a growing, well-established financial services organization

• Opportunity to work directly with senior accountants and finance leaders on complex projects and reporting initiatives

• Clear promotion pathways into senior accounting, financial reporting, or analysis roles

Collaborative environment where the Staff Accountant is a true partner to operations, compliance, and client teams

Competitive benefits package with strong emphasis on professional development (CPA support, training, mentorship)

• Balanced work schedule with opportunities for career advancement as the company continues to expand

Key Responsibilities for the Staff Accountant:

• Assist with month-end close, including journal entries, reconciliations, and variance analysis

• Prepare financial statements and supporting schedules in compliance with GAAP and company policies

• Support external audits by maintaining accurate records and providing necessary documentation

• Partner with operations and client service teams to ensure accuracy in revenue recognition and expense reporting

• Maintain and improve internal controls, accounting policies, and financial processes

• Provide ad hoc reporting and analysis to support leadership decisions

• The Staff Accountant will play a critical role in ensuring the accuracy and integrity of financial information across the organization

Qualifications for the Staff Accountant:

• Bachelor’s degree in Accounting or Finance; CPA track preferred

• 2–4 years of accounting experience, ideally in financial services, public accounting, or a similar fast-paced environment

• Strong understanding of US GAAP and internal controls

• Proficiency in Excel and experience with ERP/accounting software

• Excellent attention to detail and organizational skills

Strong communication skills with the ability to collaborate across teams

• A successful Staff Accountant will be analytical, motivated, and eager to take ownership of their work while growing within the company

This is an exciting opportunity for a hands-on Staff Accountant ready to step into a visible, high-impact role at a financial services firm that values initiative, accuracy, and professional growth.
