Job Description
An academic non-profit is looking for a temporary Sr. Accountant to help as we approach our 6/30 year end and audit season. We also changed our Accounting, Budget & AP system to Workday. As a result, the accounting team has fallen behind in critical Balance Sheet reconciliations. Currently, our highest priority is to catch up on the Balance Sheet reconciliations, to true up the P&L accounting going into our year-end audit and prepare for our year-end audit.
Must haves:
The candidate should consider themselves experienced, and “highly skilled” at performing complex, high volume account reconciliations. Advanced excel skills will be required to perform this work. (Pivot Tables, VLOOKUP’s, Sum If and other relevant excel functions, and query and other data manipulation techniques as applicable). Experience preparing and uploading complex journal entries for review.
Workday experience is preferred but not absolutely required. Alternatively, candidates must have experience with other high-end accounting/ERP systems and working with multi- dimensional Chart of Accounts fields.
Ability to think creatively and adapt old Banner account reconciliation format, to new Workday format (if/when applicable, depending on circumstances and possible change of business/accounting/transaction posting process).
Experience compiling appropriate Audit work (PBC) schedules when the audit deliverable goes beyond the basic account reconciliation.
Must be confident and comfortable working independently and taking initiative to resolve questions and problems.
Working with a small team - must have a friendly “can-do” attitude.
Example of anticipated balance sheet account reconciliation types:
Payroll & Benefit Withholding accounts.
Prepaid expense.
Accrued Expense.
Fixed Assets.
Investments.
Misc. Receivables
Assist with various Cash and Suspense/Clearing accounts.
Others as assigned.
