About the Opportunity

We’re seeking an Accounting Analyst to join a purpose-driven organization for a year-end contract supporting financial reporting, reconciliations and day-to-day accounting operations. Reporting to financial leadership, you’ll work closely with the accounting team and internal stakeholders to help ensure accurate, timely financial information during a busy reporting period.

This is a hands-on opportunity for someone who enjoys digging into the details, solving discrepancies and keeping financial processes running smoothly. You’ll contribute across general ledger, accounts payable, accounts receivable and reporting activities while supporting continuous improvement initiatives.

Your Responsibilities

  • You’ll prepare month-end and year-end journal entries, including accruals, prepaids, amortization, reallocations and corrections.
  • You’ll analyze financial records, reconcile general ledger, bank, receivable and liability accounts, and investigate discrepancies.
  • You’ll maintain fixed asset capitalization and amortization schedules, supporting documentation and audit-ready records.
  • You’ll support accounts payable and receivable processes, payment-cycle validations, cash reporting and sub-ledger reconciliations.
  • You’ll prepare financial schedules, account analyses and supporting reports for internal stakeholders and auditors.
  • You’ll document processes and contribute to system, process and continuous improvement initiatives.

Skills and Qualifications

  • 3+ years of relevant financial analysis and accounting experience.
  • College diploma or degree in Finance, Business, Accounting or a related discipline.
  • Completion of or progress toward a CPA designation is required.
  • Strong knowledge of GAAP, accounting practices and internal financial controls.
  • Advanced Microsoft Excel skills and proficiency across Microsoft Office.
  • Strong analytical, problem-solving, organizational and communication skills, with the ability to meet tight deadlines.
  • Experience with relational databases, BI tools, internal controls or enterprise risk management is considered an asset.
