Interim Senior Accountant

We are looking for an experienced Interim Senior Accountant to join a finance team on a long-term contract basis. This role is ideal for a hands-on, detail-oriented accounting specialist who can quickly contribute to a fast-paced close process, strengthen financial accuracy across multiple entities, and support global operations. The position requires strong technical accounting skills, confidence working in NetSuite and Excel, and the ability to partner effectively during audit and reporting cycles.

Responsibilities:
• Lead key components of the monthly and year-end close process, including preparing journal entries, completing reconciliations, and maintaining balance sheet integrity across multiple entities.
• Manage general ledger activities with a high level of accuracy, ensuring financial records are complete, properly supported, and aligned with reporting deadlines.
• Perform detailed account, bank, and payroll reconciliations while resolving variances across legal entities and currencies.
• Support external audit activities by assembling workpapers, organizing documentation, and responding promptly to auditor inquiries.
• Contribute to accounting operations for international subsidiaries, helping ensure consistency in reporting across a multi-entity, multi-currency environment.
• Analyze large financial data sets in Excel to identify trends, explain fluctuations, and improve the quality of close and reporting outputs.
• Assist with statutory and tax-related accounting support for cross-border operations, including coordination with global finance stakeholders where needed.
• Step into day-to-day accounting priorities with minimal training, using NetSuite expertise to support critical deadlines and operational continuity.

Qualifications:

• 5+ years of accounting experience in senior-level or comparable roles with strong ownership of close-related activities.
• Demonstrated success managing month-end close tasks, including journal entries, account reconciliations, and balance sheet account support.
• Hands-on NetSuite experience with the ability to work independently in a live accounting environment.
• Advanced Excel skills, including pivot tables, variance analysis, reconciliations, and management of large data volumes.
• Experience supporting interim and annual external audits under U.S. GAAP environments.
• Background in multi-entity and multi-currency accounting, including work involving international operations or subsidiaries.
• Knowledge of payroll accounting, including reconciliations and payroll-related journal entries across multiple entities.
• Exposure to Canadian tax, statutory reporting, or other international compliance requirements is a plus.
