AI Summary

The Senior Accountant will manage the month-end close process, prepare financial statements, and ensure accurate record-keeping for US-based clients. They will also identify process inefficiencies and implement improvements to enhance accounting workflows and automation.

The Opportunity

Are you a CPA with Big 4 experience who wants to take ownership of real-world accounting operations for US clients?

We're looking for a Senior Accountant who can go beyond preparing numbers — someone who understands the full accounting cycle, can confidently manage month-end close, and knows how to deliver accurate financial information while working across multiple client priorities.

You'll work closely with US-based clients and internal teams, owning key accounting processes while helping improve the way work gets done.

Your Responsibilities

Own the Close

  • Manage the month-end close process for assigned clients.
  • Prepare journal entries and supporting schedules.
  • Complete and review balance sheet and account reconciliations.
  • Investigate variances, discrepancies, and unusual transactions.
  • Prepare accurate financial statements and management reports.

Maintain Accounting Quality

  • Maintain complete and accurate financial records.
  • Apply US GAAP and established accounting policies consistently.
  • Ensure reconciliations and supporting documentation are complete and audit-ready.
  • Identify and communicate technical accounting issues when they arise.

Improve How We Work

  • Identify inefficient or repetitive accounting processes.
  • Recommend and implement workflow improvements.
  • Look for opportunities to leverage automation and technology.
  • Maintain clear close trackers, SOPs, and process documentation.

Support Our Clients

  • Act as a reliable accounting partner for assigned US clients.
  • Respond to accounting questions and requests professionally and promptly.
  • Coordinate with internal teams to meet client deadlines.
  • Balance multiple clients and competing priorities without compromising quality.


Requirements

What You'll Bring

Required:

  • CPA license.
  • Big 4 accounting/public accounting experience.
  • Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, or a related field.
  • Hands-on experience with financial accounting or fund accounting.
  • Experience managing month-end close activities.
  • Strong knowledge of US GAAP and financial reporting.
  • Experience with journal entries, reconciliations, and financial statements.
  • Strong Excel and accounting software skills.

Preferred:

  • Experience supporting US-based companies or clients.
  • Experience working in a client-service or outsourced accounting environment.
  • Experience improving accounting processes or implementing automation.

The Ideal Candidate

You are someone who:

  • Takes ownership rather than waiting to be told what to do.
  • Can independently manage deadlines and competing priorities.
  • Notices discrepancies and investigates them before they become problems.
  • Communicates clearly with both clients and internal teams.
  • Has strong technical accounting fundamentals.
  • Cares about accuracy, organization, and documentation.
  • Looks for better and more efficient ways to accomplish routine work.
  • Can thrive in a fast-paced, fully remote environment.

What You'll Own

At the end of the day, your success will be measured by your ability to:

Close accurately. Report reliably. Solve problems proactively. Improve processes. Keep clients confident in their numbers.
