Job description

Piedmont Door Solutions, a Cobalt Service Partners company
Onsite in Charlotte, NC

Position Overview

Piedmont Door Solutions needs a Staff Accountant who keeps the books accurate and on time, every month. You'll handle the work behind the close, from reconciliations and accruals to journal entries, daily cash, and tax, and compliance filings, and help turn the numbers into reporting the team can trust. Day-to-day billing, AR, and AP processing sits with our Shared Service team; you keep the general ledger, cash, and compliance behind it right.

This is a hands-on seat inside a local business, not a back-office role far from the work. You'll collaborate with the people who sell, install, and service the systems, and help bring consistency to how accounting policies and reporting run.

What You Are Accountable For

• Keep the vendor master clean: set up and maintain vendor records from the documentation AP collects, independent of bill entry and payment, and verify any bank-detail change before it is used.
• Run the close: work the close checklist, reconcile bank, credit card, and other balance sheet accounts for Controller sign-off, and post month-end journal entries.
• Get cutoff right: record accruals and prepaids for payroll, commissions, bonuses, unbilled revenue, insurance, and related items, and keep lease (ASC 842) and amortization schedules current.
• Support reporting: help prepare financial statements and Cobalt FinOps and KPI reporting and explain results and variances in plain language.
• Protect the controls: keep segregation of duties in place (never record and reconcile the same cash account), safeguard assets, and document procedures for your areas.
• Own fixed assets: apply the capitalization policy, record vehicle and equipment additions and disposals, and keep depreciation schedules current.
• Support the audit: prepare account analyses and backup for external audit (RSM) requests.
• Run daily cash: review bank activity, record transfers and banking entries for approval, work positive pay and ACH exceptions, and prepare actuals for the 13-week cash forecast.
• Keep PDS compliant: sales and use tax, property tax, business licenses and registrations, and insurance certificates and claims in every state where we operate.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in accounting or finance.
• 1 to 3 years of hands-on accounting experience, ideally in an operating business.
• Hands-on experience with month-end close, account reconciliations, and journal entries.
• Comfortable in NetSuite or a comparable ERP and a field-service platform. Avalara, UKG and Divvy / Ramp experience is a plus.
• Working knowledge of accruals, prepaids, deferred revenue, lease (ASC 842), and fixed asset accounting.
• Builds and presents clear reports from accounting data and understands how the systems connect.
• Audit, sales and use tax, or CPA-track experience is a plus.

Personal Attributes

• Detail oriented and organized, with a track record of accurate reporting.
• Finishing assignments with minimal supervision and keeps pushing when a close gets hard.
• Clear communicator, in writing and in person, with people inside and outside finance.
• Operationally minded: thinks through how a change in one place shows up in the P&L.
• Coachable: takes feedback well and changes course quickly.
