We pride ourselves on maintaining flexibility and responsiveness to adapt to business unit and industry demands while focusing on sound project management. We are dedicated to growing and developing our employees as we build strong teams with strategic leadership.

We are seeking an Accountant, GL Reconciliations to own and support general ledger account reconciliations, balance sheet analysis, adjustment journal entries, and close activities for payroll-related accounts. This is a general ledger accounting role that requires strong reconciliation skills, sound accounting judgment, and the ability to research and resolve account activity across accruals, clearing accounts, liabilities, and related balance sheet positions. Payroll knowledge is helpful and preferred, but the primary requirement is demonstrated accounting expertise, including experience with general ledger analysis, reconciliation preparation, variance review, and control-ready documentation.

Job Responsibilities:

• Prepare and review monthly general ledger and balance sheet reconciliations for payroll-related accounts, ensuring accuracy, completeness, and timely resolution of reconciling items.
• Perform general ledger account analysis and variance reviews, including prior quarter and prior year comparisons, and provide clear accounting-based explanations for material movements.
• Prepare journal entries, accruals, reclasses, and adjustments for payroll-related general ledger activity in accordance with U.S. GAAP, company policy, and established close timelines.
• Support month-end, quarter-end, and year-end close activities, including reconciliation preparation, financial analysis, and follow-up on outstanding accounting items.
• Research and resolve discrepancies between payroll source data, general ledger activity, clearing accounts, accruals, liabilities, and balance sheet positions.
• Maintain accurate reconciliation schedules, supporting documentation, and audit-ready evidence in accordance with internal controls and SOX requirements.
• Execute assigned control activities and ensure control evidence is complete, timely, and aligned with internal and external audit expectations.
• Ensure appropriate general ledger mapping, account classification, and accounting treatment for payroll-related transactions within Workday Financials or other ERP systems.
• Partner with Payroll Delivery, HR, Finance, and external providers to obtain supporting data, understand timing differences, and resolve general ledger accounting impacts without serving as the primary payroll processor.
• Support internal and external audit requests by providing reconciliations, schedules, supporting documentation, and concise explanations of account activity.
• Identify opportunities to improve reconciliation quality, close efficiency, documentation consistency, and accounting control effectiveness.

• Bachelor’s degree in Accounting, Finance, or a related field required; accounting coursework or equivalent hands-on accounting experience strongly preferred.
• Minimum 5 years of accounting experience with demonstrated ownership of balance sheet reconciliations, general ledger analysis, journal entries, and close activities.
• Strong understanding of U.S. GAAP, accrual accounting, account classification, and internal control concepts.
• Experience preparing and explaining balance sheet reconciliations, variance analysis, and reconciling item resolution is required. 
• Experience working in an ERP or financial system environment required; Workday Financials experience preferred.
• Payroll accounting experience is preferred, but payroll processing or payroll operations experience alone is not a substitute for accounting experience.
• Ability to research account activity, identify root causes of discrepancies, and independently resolve accounting issues.
• High level of accuracy, organization, and attention to detail, with the ability to meet month-end and quarter-end deadlines.
• Advanced Microsoft Excel skills for reconciliation, analysis, and review of large data sets.
• Experience supporting audits, SOX controls, or internal compliance reviews preferred.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to explain accounting matters clearly to payroll, HR, and finance stakeholders.
