Staff Accountant

About the Role
Our client is hiring a Staff Accountant for a temporary six-month engagement to cover our cash operations, credit card and AP processes, and monthly close accruals. You'll work closely with the Controller and cross-functional partners across Finance, Legal, and Operations to keep our books accurate and audit-ready every month.
What You'll Do
Cash & Bank Reconciliations
•Reconcile the primary operating account monthly: match transactions against NetSuite, upload direct debits and tax payments, and route the upload weekly for tax payment review and GL coding.
•Reconcile secondary operating and money market accounts monthly using statements provided by the Controller.
•Reconcile the sweep account and book the related interest earned entry each month, once the primary operating account reconciliation is complete.
•Book the monthly loan balance entry from the downloaded statement.
Credit Card & Expense Management
•Manage the physical credit card program: download statements, add/lock/disable cards, and keep cardholder access aligned with the Slack credit card group.
•Ensure CC transactions have GL coding, department, and receipts (over $25) before they sync, and send month-end submission reminders on the 15th and last business day.
•Review AP platform expense reports for correct coding and approver assignment; flag recurring or large spend for migration to virtual card.
•Approve AP platform invoices under $10K, confirming GL/department coding, vendor payment details and W9 on file, correct period/amortization for invoices over $3K, and a clear description and date on every invoice.
•Reconcile the AP platform clearing account monthly to zero and resolve sync errors on bills, bill payments, and expense reports.
Lease Accounting & Tax Compliance
•Confirm the monthly rent invoice is in NetSuite and book the asset/lease liability entry.
•Own the annual 1099 process: pull vendor spend over $600 from the AP platform, populate the 1099 filing platform, and review each W9 individually — target completion by 1/31.
What You Need
•Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, or related field (or equivalent experience).
•2–4 years of accounting experience, ideally spanning AP, GL, and bank reconciliations.
•Hands-on experience with NetSuite or a comparable ERP; AP/expense platform experience is a plus.
•Working knowledge of US GAAP accrual accounting and month-end close processes.
•Strong attention to detail and organization — this role manages a high volume of recurring monthly deadlines.
•Clear, proactive communicator comfortable coordinating with cross-functional stakeholders and vendors.
