Job summary

PennEngineering is seeking a motivated Corporate Accountant to join the Corporate Finance Team in Danboro, PA. You will be the principal preparer for journal entries, reconciliations, and analyses feeding the company-wide consolidation and financial statements.

This hands-on role requires delivering accurate results on schedule, with opportunities to grow toward broader ownership of US GAAP reporting, intercompany eliminations, and global finance operations.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Accounting or closely related field from an accredited college or university.
• Two (2) to four (4) years of progressive experience in general accounting, financial reporting or financial analysis, including hands-on ownership of month-end journal entries and reconciliations.
• Solid working knowledge of US GAAP and financial statement mechanics; able to explain the accounting behind an entry, not only how to record it.
• Strong Microsoft Excel skills and proficiency in the Microsoft Office Suite.
• Experience within an integrated ERP system; JD Edwards preferred.
• Demonstrated ability to work independently, manage multiple priorities and consistently deliver assigned work by the committed date.
• Clear written and verbal communication with colleagues at all levels of the organization.
• Detail orientation with a demonstrated record of accurate, well-documented, self-explanatory work product.

Responsibilities

• Prepare journal entries for the corporate and holding company entities, with complete supporting documentation, within the close calendar deadlines.
• Prepare balance sheet account reconciliations and roll-forwards across the corporate accounts - including cash, prepaids, accruals and fixed assets - identifying and clearing differences, and escalating unresolved items with a proposed next step.
• Maintain the corporate and holding company accounting records and general ledger, ensuring transactions are recorded in the correct entity, account and period.
• Prepare intercompany transaction detail for the elimination process; confirm intercompany balances with counterpart entities and follow through to resolution.
• Prepare daily cash journal entries and reconcile bank activity to the general ledger.
• Take deliverables through review with the Senior Corporate Accountant where required, and address review comments promptly.
• Prepare recurring and ad hoc schedules supporting the monthly consolidation and management reporting package.
• Use company financial information systems and reporting tools to extract and validate data used in analyses; reconcile system output to the general ledger before use.
• Support the treasury function with cash management schedules, bank reporting inputs and supporting documentation for debt compliance reporting.
• Maintain and investigate integrity and exception reports; document findings and resolution.
• Prepare audit schedules and pull supporting documentation in response to internal and external audit requests, for review by the Senior Corporate Accountant prior to release.
• Document procedures for areas of responsibility and keep task documentation current.
• Identify and recommend improvements to corporate accounting processes, including opportunities to reduce manual effort or improve accuracy.
• Build working knowledge of the consolidation process and US GAAP application, supporting progression toward broader ownership over time.
• Other duties as assigned.
