We are seeking a Senior Accountant to lead complex close activities, bring structure to high-volume multi-entity data, and deliver accurate, timely, and fully transparent financial statements. This is a hands‑on role offering meaningful ownership and direct visibility to finance leadership—ideal for someone committed to advancing into a lead or supervisory position.

• Own and execute significant portions of the close cycle: prepare, review, and validate journal entries, accruals, prepaids, and recurring/reversing entries, including reverse‑and‑re‑accrue payroll methodologies.
• Reconcile balance sheet accounts and investigate variances against prior periods, budgets, and established expectations.
• Maintain the general ledger and drive adherence to the close calendar to ensure timely completion.

• Record, reconcile, and eliminate intercompany transactions across group entities with precision.
• Support consolidation of results across U.S. and international subsidiaries, managing foreign‑entity and multi‑currency considerations.
• Maintain clean, accurate entity‑level and consolidated trial balances.

• Manage high‑volume carrier settlements, freight revenue and cost recognition, and load‑level margin analysis.
• Reconcile operational data from the TMS (Transport Pro; exposure to Cargotel and Tai advantageous) into the accounting system.
• Execute AR/AP, factoring, and carrier‑payment reconciliations at freight‑brokerage transaction volumes.

• Prepare comprehensive financial statements and supporting schedules for management review.
• Develop and maintain clear, audit‑ready work papers and reconciliations.
• Serve as the primary contact for external auditors; prepare requested documentation and respond to inquiries promptly.
• Document processes and strengthen internal controls to support organizational growth.

• Transform complex, high‑volume data into clear schedules and compelling narratives for stakeholders.
• Identify and implement process improvements and automation opportunities throughout the close and reporting cycle.

• Bachelor’s degree in Accounting, Finance, or related field.
• 3–6 years of progressive accounting experience, including month‑end and year‑end close responsibilities.
• Demonstrated expertise in U.S. GAAP and strong working knowledge of accounting principles and standards.
• Proven proficiency in journal entry preparation, account reconciliations, and balance sheet analysis.
• Advanced Excel skills, including pivot tables, VLOOKUP/INDEX functions, and large‑dataset manipulation.
• Hands‑on experience with ERP and general ledger systems.
• Exceptional attention to detail, strong deadline management, and the ability to articulate the reasoning behind financial data and conclusions.

• CPA certification or active candidacy in the CPA program.
• Industry experience in freight brokerage, 3PL, transportation, or other high‑transaction‑volume environments.
• Demonstrated expertise in multi‑entity consolidation and intercompany elimination processes.
• Hands‑on experience with Transportation Management Systems (Transport Pro, Cargotel, or Tai).
• Proficiency in data analytics and automation tools such as SQL, Power Query, or business intelligence platforms.
• Supervisory or mentoring experience with junior accounting staff.
