Accounting Manager

Bay Ridge, Brooklyn, NY
$125,000

Overview

A growing multi-entity organization is seeking a strong Accounting Manager or Assistant Controller to take ownership of the day-to-day accounting function and help bring structure, accuracy, and consistency to financial reporting.

This is a hands-on role for someone who understands accounting fundamentals, enjoys solving problems, and can think through reconciliations rather than simply processing transactions.

The right person will work closely with the CFO and become the primary owner of month-end and quarter-end accounting activities across multiple entities. The goal is to find someone who can eventually take significant responsibility off the CFO's plate and grow into a larger role over time.

Reconcile balance sheet, revenue, AR, intercompany, and other general ledger accounts
Own month-end and quarter-end close processes

Review financials for accuracy and investigate discrepancies
Work through complex reconciliations involving multiple billing and reporting systems

Support accounting system improvements and ongoing ERP implementation initiatives
Serve as an accounting resource for the Accounts Payable team and assist with accounting-related questions
Partner closely with the CFO on financial reporting, process improvement, and special projects
Ideal Candidate

The ideal candidate is not just a bookkeeper or transaction processor. They are someone who understands how accounting works and can think through problems when things do not reconcile.

You should have:

Strong understanding of debits, credits, reconciliations, and financial statements
Experience preparing journal entries and completing account reconciliations
Ability to identify issues, investigate discrepancies, and work through solutions independently
Strong Excel skills and comfort working with large amounts of financial data
Excellent attention to detail and follow-through
CPA not required
Experience with multi-entity accounting is a plus
Experience with Sage, QuickBooks, or other accounting systems is a plus
