Senior Accountant - Reconciliations & GL Accounting - Profitable Midsized Business
Hemphill is partnering with a very successful midsized business with headquarters in Omaha who is eager to identify an experienced accountant to join their team. We are searching for an individual that thrives while rolling up their sleeves and digging into the details while having a hand in all aspects of monthly financial accounting.
In this position you will work both independently and as part of a team while reporting to an Accounting Manager that leads with authenticity and is eager to work alongside you to make for a smooth and timely month end close process where the work is on time and done right.
This company operates in a unique industry that is making a meaningful impact in the lives of those they serve - their business was founded nearly 60+ years ago and has been #1 in the state of Nebraska for 40 straight years. This company has an ownership and leadership team that is actively involved in the business at the ground level - so leadership is very in tune with the reality of daily operations within the business, and is making decisions with the team’s best interest in mind - so you will feel valued and set up for success.
Key Responsibilities & Details:
- Work in tandem alongside the Accounting Manager while rolling up your sleeves and taking a hands on role in the monthly financial accounting processes to include balance sheet reconciliations, journal entries, bank account reconciliations, and Balance sheet preparation and P&L analysis, and general month end duties that ensure the financial statements are correct.
- Leverage your years of experience to think critically about ways to streamline the month end process - the accounting manager believes their processes are strong, but could be taken from good to great - you will brain storm and offer suggestions while working with the accounting manager to think smarter vs. working harder
- Roughly 70% of your daily responsibilities will include financial accounting; however, you will enjoy spending a portion of your month on post close analysis, and will be given the opportunity to take part in the annual budgeting process and monthly budget-to-actual analysis.
This company offers a very generous benefits package and a 401k match that is lucrative. You will enjoy a beautifully remodeled office located just off Dodge Street. The leadership team believes in giving you the flexibility to be successful, so whether you are an early bird, or prefer to drop kiddos off at school before coming to work, this company is eager to find a common ground on your daily schedule.
