Staff Accountant

Overview

Atrium is seeking on behalf of our client a Staff Accountant (Hybrid – Midtown, NYC)

Our client is a fast‑growing architecture/engineering + tech organization. We’re looking for a Staff Accountant who loves owning the billing cycle (time & projects), AR/AP, and collections
—and wants real GL exposure (recons, journal entries,
month‑end close
) with a clear runway to grow.

You’ll join a small, collaborative finance team where your work is seen, appreciated, and moves the needle. Think: the best of both worlds—professional services discipline + startup agility.

A background check may be run, but only at a conditional offer stage, where permitted by law.

Must be legally authorized to work in the United States.

Pay

Up to $100,000 base + up to 10% bonus

• Drive AR (cash application, aging, collections follow‑up) and manage AP (vendor setup, 3‑way review, payments)
• Partner with Project Managers to review timesheets and finalize monthly billing
• Coordinate contract changes (change orders, amendments) and support project close‑outs
• Perform reconciliations (banks, subledgers), prepare JEs, and support month‑end close and reporting
• Tackle ad‑hoc analysis and jump in on process improvements that save time and reduce errors

Sizzle / Upside:
You’ll get meaningful GL ownership and month‑end experience (not just billing/AP/AR), with a path to take on more close responsibilities and analytics as you ramp.

• 4–6 years in billing/accounting within a time‑based professional services environment (architecture, engineering, legal, consulting, creative, etc.)
• Proven end‑to‑end billing +
  timesheet workflow experience
• Advanced Excel
  ; Quick Books experience is a plus
• Great communicator—comfortable partnering with PMs, vendors, and clients
• Organized, accurate, deadline‑reliable; you like fixing broken processes
• CPA or progress toward it is a plus

• Impact: Lean team → you’ll touch billing + AR/AP + GL + close
• Balance:
  Hybrid schedule (3 days onsite, Midtown near Penn Station)
• Growth: Clear runway to expand your GL / month‑end / reporting scope quickly
