Asset Accountant

Asset Accountant Location

Stamford/Queens

3–5+ years in accounting operations

Join a diversified, growth-stage public company operating at the intersection of transportation, finance, and regulated industries.

This is a high-visibility role where precision, accountability, and continuous improvement are foundational to our culture.

As Asset Accountant, you'll own all accounting operations for a 1,000+ vehicle fleet. This role is foundational to monthly close, audit readiness, fixed-asset accuracy, and fleet-level financial reporting. You'll manage the entire lifecycle of vehicle accounting—purchases, upfit costs, depreciation, insurance, incentives, and disposals—while maintaining a precise, audit‑ready fixed asset register.

The role begins with Fleet Operations due to volume and complexity. As capacity allows, responsibilities expand into broader public-company accounting and assistant-controller-level work.

• Maintain and reconcile the fixed-asset register for 1,000+ vehicles including VINs, cost basis, depreciation, insurance, and related assets
• Own the monthly depreciation cycle and ensure journal entries tie accurately to ERP systems and the general ledger
• Track detailed vehicle cost basis (purchase price, upfit costs, rebates, incentives, eligibility criteria, etc.)
• Reconcile data across multiple systems including ERP, operational platforms, investment accounting systems, and Excel
• Support bulk vehicle purchases (20–40 vehicles), including onboarding, capitalization, and cost allocation
• Track and amortize prepaid insurance and other vehicle-related prepaid assets
• Maintain fixed-asset accounting policies including capitalization thresholds, useful lives, and depreciation methods
• Prepare audit-ready fixed-asset work papers and respond to external auditor inquiries
• Support month-end close including accruals, reconciliations, and fleet-related balance sheet schedules
• Partner with Fleet Operations on lifecycle events: purchases, upfits, repairs, retirements
• Identify and implement automation opportunities and workflow improvements
• Apply SOX-aligned discipline to documentation, reconciliations, and evidence standards

• Bachelor's degree in Accounting or Finance
• 3–5+ years of accounting experience in fixed-asset or asset-heavy environments
• Experience with Net Suite and/or Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central
• Strong Excel skills (pivot tables, VLOOKUP/XLOOKUP, large dataset management)
• Experience with monthly close, reconciliations, and audit support
• Knowledge of US GAAP fixed-asset accounting standards
• Strong attention to detail, documentation, and accuracy
• Demonstrated SOX/process/controls mindset with documentation discipline and evidence capture
• Experience using AI tools—including agentic AI systems—for reconciliation support, anomaly detection, documentation drafting, audit prep, or workflow automation

• CPA or CPA-track
• Experience in transportation, fleet management, leasing, manufacturing, or other asset-heavy industries
• Familiarity with investment accounting systems (e.g., Geneva/SS&C) for data reconciliation or multi-entity reporting
• Experience with bulk inventory/asset onboarding processes
• Familiarity with financial reporting tools (e.g., Jet Reports)
