Descrição da oferta de emprego

We are seeking an Accounting Associate to join our growing organization and play a hands-on role in our day-to-day accounting operations. You will work closely with our accounting leadership and senior management, with real ownership over key parts of the accounting cycle and a clear path to grow with the company.

We're looking for someone with good judgment and common sense: a person who notices when something doesn’t look right, digs in to understand why, and raises it or fixes it without waiting to be told. In a growing company, many processes are still being built. The right person sees that as an opportunity to improve things, not a reason to wait for direction.

Key Responsibilities

• Perform day-to-day accounting operations, including AR, AP, payroll support, and bank and account reconciliations.
• Prepare journal entries and support the monthly close, ensuring timely and accurate recording of financial transactions.
• Assist in preparing GAAP financial statements and monthly financial reports for management.
• Review the books for errors, inconsistencies, and inefficiencies; investigate root causes and recommend or implement fixes so issues don’t recur.
• Help document and improve accounting processes, controls, and procedures where gaps exist.
• Support the annual budgeting and forecasting process with data gathering and analysis.
• Help monitor cash flow and working capital.
• Assist with financial analysis and ad hoc projects for strategic initiatives.
• Support coordination of accounting matters with international subsidiaries, including intercompany reconciliations.
• Provide schedules and support for tax and regulatory compliance, working with outside advisors as needed.
• Assist with diligence and integration tasks as the company grows through acquisitions.

What We're Looking For

• Sound judgment. You know when something matters and when it doesn’t, and you make reasonable decisions without needing every answer spelled out.
• Ownership mentality. You notice problems, such as a reconciliation that doesn’t tie, a broken process, or a number that doesn’t make sense, and you follow them through to resolution, escalating when appropriate.
• Comfort with ambiguity. You can bring structure to messy situations and help build process where none exists.
• Clear communication. You flag issues early, explain them plainly, and come with a suggested fix.
• Eagerness to learn. You ask good questions, take feedback well, and want to expand your responsibilities over time.

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, or a related field.
• 2-4 years of accounting experience.
• Working knowledge of GAAP and financial reporting.
• Proficiency in Excel (e.g., pivot tables, lookups, reconciliations) and comfort with accounting software.
• Strong analytical and organizational skills with attention to detail.
• Ability to operate effectively in a fast-paced, hands-on environment.
• Able to commute to our office in Bala Cynwyd, PA.
• CPA or CPA candidacy, or public accounting experience, a plus.
