RES is looking for a Staff Accountant professional that will provide professional accounting work involving month-end close activities, with a focus on SG&A and will be reporting to the Manager of Accounting.

The mission: This is a professional mid-level accounting position requiring a solid understanding of the fundamentals and principles of accounting, the organization’s ERP system, and the ability to handle most regular issues independently. Reporting to the Manager of Accounting, the Staff Accountant will handle the day to day activities involved within the accounts payable process, also assisting with the accounts receivable process.  If you are highly analytical, detail-oriented, and possess advanced problem-solving and root-cause analysis skills, with a proven ability to communicate your findings effectively, you will thrive in this position. Success will also come from your strong business acumen and your ability to manage new ideas and implement creative solutions to achieve results—even in a fast-paced, growing, and sometimes ambiguous environment.

In the morning your routine might start by applying customer payments and investigating any discrepancies that arise, which might require collaboration with customer service or accounts receivable teams to resolve issues effectively.

Mid-morning could involve tasks like downloading vendor invoices to submit to approvers and matching credit card transactions with receipts for coding, and posting payables associated with the day’s auto ACH activity.

Reporting tasks are also a monthly chore.  This includes verifying that expenses are correctly coded and posted in the correct GL period.  If an audit is underway, you would also prepare audit schedules and address any issues identified by auditors, ensuring compliance and transparency in financial reporting.

Since accounting work is cyclical, there will be periods when deadlines are tight, especially around month-end, quarter-end, and year-end close. During these times, extra effort and additional hours may be required to ensure all deliverables are met.

Each of these activities requires a blend of analytical skills, attention to detail, and knowledge of compliance standards, making it a dynamic and integral role within the finance team.

We would like to talk with you if you have many of the following:

• Associate’s degree in accounting or 3+ years of equivalent experience
• Experience with Eclipse or a similar ERP
• Experience with automated financial systems, including a general ledger
• Proficiency in Excel
• Knowledge of GAAP
