We are looking for an experienced Sr. Accountant to join a team on a long-term contract assignment. This role is well suited for an accounting specialist who can take ownership of core close activities, maintain accurate financial records, and work effectively in an environment that may involve manual processes. The position will partner with finance and operational stakeholders to support timely reporting, strengthen ledger accuracy, and provide reliable accounting across several balance sheet and inventory-related areas.

Responsibilities:

• Contribute to the preparation of financial reports and help deliver reporting packages on schedule.
• Manage accounting tasks involving cash activity, receivables, fixed assets, lease accounting, and selected inventory transactions.
• Monitor bulk wine inventory records, verify quantities and values, and investigate discrepancies when needed.
• Support priority inventory accounting work by performing reconciliations, maintaining schedules, and assisting with related analysis and reporting.
• Preserve the accuracy of the general ledger and connected subledger activity through consistent review and issue resolution.
• Learn current workflows quickly and execute responsibilities effectively in a hands-on setting with limited automation.
• Partner with operations and finance teams to gather information, resolve variances, and improve the timeliness of financial data.

Qualifications:

• Bachelor’s degree in Accounting, Finance, or a related discipline.
• At least 5 years of progressively responsible accounting experience, including work in a senior-level accounting capacity.
• Strong background in month-end close, general ledger maintenance, journal entries, and account reconciliations.
• Experience with inventory accounting is strongly preferred, particularly in environments with significant product volume.
• Knowledge of accounting for cash, accounts receivable, fixed assets, leases, and inventory.
• Advanced Microsoft Excel skills, including the use of VLOOKUPs and Pivot Tables.
• Ability to work independently, adapt quickly to established procedures, and meet tight reporting deadlines.
