About the Role

As an Intermediate Accountant, you will take on a broader range of accounting responsibilities, working with greater independence than a junior-level role while continuing to build toward full technical mastery of the function. You will perform bank reconciliations, balance sheet account reconciliations, sales trend analysis, cash application, and customer account reconciliations. You will play an audit support role during interim and annual audits, working closely with external auditors to provide documentation and resolve queries. You will also be responsible for lease accounting and fixed asset accounting, including additions, disposals, depreciation, and amortization. Beyond your core accounting duties, you will work cross-functionally with other departments on projects and strategic initiatives, and support other routine and related accounting matters as they arise.
