We are looking for a detail-oriented SR/Staff Accountant to join a team in Monmouth County, New Jersey on a Long-term Contract basis. This opportunity is well suited for someone who enjoys bringing structure to complex financial records, strengthening accuracy across the balance sheet, and contributing to a more organized accounting operation. The role calls for strong analytical judgment, confidence working through inconsistent data, and the ability to communicate findings clearly with accounting and finance partners.

Responsibilities:

• Reconcile a broad range of balance sheet accounts and investigate variances to ensure financial records are complete and accurate.

• Prepare, review, and post journal entries related to cleanup activities, month-end support, and ongoing accounting operations.

• Examine large sets of financial information to detect irregularities, trace root causes, and recommend corrective action.

• Resolve legacy accounting issues by researching historical transactions and organizing supporting documentation for proper treatment.

• Support accounting process enhancements and assist with operational changes tied to evolving financial systems and workflows.

• Use advanced Excel tools, including pivot tables, formulas, and data analysis features, to organize, compare, and validate accounting data.

• Collaborate with finance and accounting colleagues to improve reporting quality, reconciliation processes, and overall control over financial information.

• Communicate reconciliation results, accounting logic, and outstanding issues in a clear manner to team members and stakeholders.

• Provide dependable accounting support during a period of organizational change while helping maintain continuity in daily financial activities.

• Proven experience performing balance sheet reconciliations, account analysis, and general ledger review work.
• Strong hands-on background preparing and posting journal entries in a detail-focused accounting environment.
• Advanced Excel skills, including pivot tables, lookup functions, and data querying or analytical techniques.
• Experience working with ERP or mid-market accounting systems; exposure to Microsoft Dynamics is highly preferred.
• Ability to evaluate incomplete, disorganized, or high-volume financial data and turn it into accurate, actionable information.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills with the ability to explain accounting processes and findings to others.
• Comfortable working independently in a fast-moving setting with shifting priorities and evolving business needs.
• Prior experience with forensic-style accounting, historical cleanup projects, or complex reconciliation work is a strong advantage.
