Job description

Arkansas Talent Group is exclusively partnering with one of Arkansas's largest and most well‑established privately held companies in the state to help them find a Senior Accountant for their organization. They are headquartered in North Little Rock. This is a rare opportunity to join a tenured, high‑performing accounting team and work directly under an experienced CFO who is known for developing top accounting talent.

The Senior Accountant will serve as a key contributor to the day‑to‑day and month‑end accounting operations, playing an integral role in maintaining the financial integrity of the organization.

Key Responsibilities:

• Prepare and post journal entries accurately and in compliance with GAAP
• Own and manage the month‑end and year‑end close process, ensuring timely completion
• Perform general ledger reconciliations and balance sheet account analysis
• Assist with the preparation of monthly, quarterly, and annual financial statements
• Conduct bank reconciliations and resolve discrepancies in a timely manner
• Support intercompany reconciliations and allocations across multiple entities
• Collaborate with the CFO and accounting team on special projects, reporting initiatives, and process improvement efforts
• Maintain organized, audit‑ready financial records and supporting documentation
• Assist with external audit preparation and tax filing support as needed

Ideal Candidate Background:

• Bachelor's degree in Accounting required
• Minimum of 2–5 years of corporate or public accounting experience
• Strong working knowledge of GAAP and general ledger accounting
• Experience with month‑end close, financial statement preparation, and account reconciliations
• CPA or CPA candidate preferred, but not required
• Proficiency in Microsoft Excel and accounting ERP systems
• Strong attention to detail and organizational skills
• A collaborative, team‑first attitude with the ability to work independently

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

• Work directly under a highly respected CFO with a team‑oriented leadership style
• Join one of Arkansas's most established and financially sound privately held companies
• Competitive compensation, great benefits, strong bonus opportunities, beautiful offices, and a professional work environment
• Opportunity for long‑term career growth within a well‑capitalized organization
