Job description

Channel Fusion is transforming from a services‑heavy channel marketing company into a product‑led, AI‑enabled platform business. As we scale, our Finance function needs to scale with it — with clean books, tight close cycles, and accounting infrastructure that can support a growing, increasingly complex organization.

The Senior Staff Accountant will own core accounting operations for Channel Fusion — month‑end close, account reconciliations, payroll reconciliation, capitalized labor and fixed assets, and recurring tax compliance filings — reporting directly to the Director of Finance. This is a hands‑on, high‑ownership role for someone who wants to run their piece of the close, not just execute tasks inside it.

What You Own

• Reconciliations & Month‑End Close — Prepare monthly balance sheet reconciliations for all accounts, resolve reconciling items timely, and own the month‑end close checklist and calendar. Prepare and post journal entries, including accruals, prepaids, and amortization.
• Banking Execution — Perform bank reconciliations across multiple accounts. Execute internal fund transfers directing client payments to the correct accounts, based on instructions from the payments team, following established authorization and verification procedures.
• Capitalized Labor & Fixed Assets — Track and calculate capitalized labor. Maintain fixed asset registers and amortization schedules.
• Payroll Reconciliation — Support payroll processing and reconciliation. Reconcile payroll registers to the general ledger and assist with benefits and deduction reconciliations.
• Recurring Tax & Compliance Filings — Prepare and file sales and use tax returns and other recurring compliance filings on schedule.
• Financial Reporting Support — Assist in preparing and reviewing monthly financial statements. Flag variances and unusual items to the Director of Finance.
• Billing & AP Accuracy — Review billing entries and accounts payable transactions for accuracy, completeness, and proper coding, partnering with the billing team to resolve discrepancies.

Qualifications

Required:

• Bachelor's degree in Accounting, or equivalent practical experience.
• 4+ years of general accounting experience, with demonstrated readiness for broader scope.
• Strong working knowledge of GAAP.
• Hands‑on experience with month‑end close and account reconciliations.
• High attention to detail and a strong sense of ownership.
• Comfortable working independently and proactively raising issues.

Preferred

• Experience with payroll systems (Rippling or similar).
• Prior experience in a company managing multi‑entity or multi‑account banking structures.
