We are seeking a high-caliber Senior Accountant to lead a critical project: clearing a high-volume backlog of balance sheet reconciliations resulting from recent audits and system transitions. This is not a "maintenance" role; it is a remediation and cleanup project requiring a candidate who can navigate complex datasets, identify root causes of discrepancies, and leave the accounts in an "audit-ready" state.

What does success look like? * All assigned balance sheet accounts are reconciled to zero unexplained variance within the first 60–90 days. * External auditors can review your workpapers with zero follow-up questions regarding the methodology. * You can take a "messy" account and provide a clear path to resolution with minimal supervision. **Requirements** * 5+ years of accounting experience, specifically in remediation, audit support, or post-merger/system integration cleanup. * Prior experience in a high-growth or public company environment is strongly preferred. * Advanced proficiency in NetSuite (specifically pulling custom reports and saved searches) and Excel (Power Query, Pivot Tables, XLOOKUP). * Technical Knowledge: Strong grasp of GAAP, specifically regarding revenue recognition (for food/events) and expen
