About the role
Mid-level Accountant talent pool in Chicago, focused on a section of the ledger that ties to its support.
This talent-pool listing is for a mid-level Accountant based in Chicago, United States. Day to day, the focus is a section of the ledger that ties to its support. A typical stretch of time is spent posting, reconciling, and explaining what is still open.
Responsibilities
- Own the reconciliation so the accounting reviewer can see a balance that does not match the support without a separate explanation.
- Every week, bring the journal pack up to date and resolve a journal with no description before the next cycle.
- Write the open-item list in plain language and mention an item with no owner in the same note.
- If the cutoff test stalls, say so the same day and state what you already did about a transaction in the wrong period.
- Keep the support file in the shared tracker, not in a personal folder.
- Treat the review note as finished only after you have checked a query you have not answered.
Requirements
- Roughly 3 to 6 years of keeping a section of the ledger supported that matches this accountant profile, or a shorter record with the same kind of finished work.
- Practical skill with an accounting system and spreadsheets in accountant work, not a certificate alone.
- Able to explain why a balance moved to a colleague who was not in the room.
- Careful with journals with no support; this is checked in review of accountant work.
- For the accountant brief in Chicago, use the working language of that assignment in United States.
