Execute weekly soft close and monthly hard close processes
Prepare income statements and complete full balance sheet reconciliations
Ensure proper classification across revenue, COGS, and operating expenses

Weekly Operating Cadence

Monday (EST): Deliver weekly P&L, cash report, and highlight key risks/flags
Tuesday – Thursday: Transaction coding, reconciliations, and journal entries
Friday: Bring books to ~95% completion in preparation for weekly close

Required Qualifications

3–6 years of accounting experience
Strong understanding of accrual accounting principles
Proven experience owning or significantly contributing to a close process
Experience managing multiple entities or clients simultaneously
High attention to detail with strong organizational skills

Preferred Qualifications

Only candidates who meet the following will be considered:

Have a strong understanding of accrual accounting (not just cash basis)
Can manage multiple clients/entities with minimal supervision
