Staff accountant specializing in general ledger close, reconciliations, and ERP migrations, supporting audits and tax compliance.
What I'm looking for
I’m a Staff Accountant focused on month-end close and general ledger accuracy. At Zenith American Solutions, I prepare and post journal entries and accruals in Sage and Workday, complete 15+ account reconciliations each month (especially cash and prepaid accounts), and resolve variances by partnering with accounts payable and operations teams.
I also support annual audits by preparing financial statements and schedules for external auditors, and I contributed to the company-wide ERP migration from Sage to Workday. Previously, I worked as a Trust Accountant handling client benefit funds, preparing month-end trust account reporting and reconciling bank activity, and earlier I completed audit-focused work as an Audit Intern applying IFRS, GAAP, and GAAS.
