Job Description
Our client is looking for a
Senior Accountant to be the Controller’s accounting partner in their Goodlettsville office. The Controller is based in Kansas City, so this person will provide a strong local accounting presence: reviewing work, improving procedures, resolving issues, and helping the team produce accurate, timely financial information.
The Goodlettsville team handles a high volume of billing and related activity across multiple businesses and programs. This role calls for someone who can understand how that work flows through QuickBooks, supplemental records, reconciliations, and the financial statements. The right person will be comfortable working directly with the team while also stepping back to simplify processes and strengthen controls.
What You Will Do
- Review billing, credits, deductions, payment posting, accruals, and prepay activity for accuracy and proper accounting treatment.
- Oversee key reconciliations and investigate differences. This is a hands-on role that combines transaction review and issue resolution with process improvement.
- Support period close by reviewing entries, account balances, supporting schedules, and close procedures.
- Help the team manage recurring work involving retailer and vendor invoices, rebates, refunds, and special billing programs.
- Assess existing workflows, identify unnecessary steps and control gaps, and recommend practical improvements.
- Document clear procedures and review points so work can be completed consistently and covered when someone is out.
- Partner with the Controller to set priorities, implement changes, and follow through on issues that affect financial reporting.
- Provide accounting guidance and day-to-day support to Goodlettsville team members whose work affects the general ledger.
- Work with other departments to clarify transactions, resolve billing questions, and improve the quality of information reaching accounting.
What Success Looks Like In this role, you will build a clear understanding of the Goodlettsville team’s work and its effect on the financial statements. You will establish dependable review and reconciliation routines, help resolve longstanding issues, and work with the Controller and team to make procedures easier to follow and sustain.
What We Are Looking For
- Bachelor’s degree in accounting or a closely related field.
- At least five years of progressive accounting experience, including general ledger accounting, reconciliations, and month-end close.
- Experience reviewing other people’s work and improving accounting procedures.
- Strong understanding of accrual accounting and internal controls.
- Ability to trace transactions from source records through the general ledger and explain differences clearly.
- Strong Excel skills and experience with accounting systems; QuickBooks experience is required.
- Sound judgment, attention to detail, and the ability to organize competing deadlines.
- A collaborative approach to change: you can ask good questions, teach others, and improve a process without losing sight of the work that must get done.
Experience with high-volume billing, deductions, rebates, or multi-entity accounting would be especially useful.
