Job Description
Robert Half is recruiting for a Staff Accountant opportunity with an established Birmingham area company. This is an excellent opportunity for a recent accounting graduate or someone early in their career who wants to develop a broad understanding of accounting and business operations.
Rather than being limited to one area of accounting, this position is designed to teach how transactions flow through the entire organization and ultimately impact the general ledger. The Staff Accountant will initially gain exposure to several operational and accounting functions before progressing into more traditional GL responsibilities. The long term goal is to develop this person into a Senior Accountant.
Responsibilities:
• Rotate through key operational and accounting functions to understand the full transaction cycle
• Learn how sales, shipping, receiving, inventory, accounts receivable and accounts payable impact the general ledger
• Review trial balance and general ledger activity
• Prepare account and bank reconciliations
• Prepare and process journal entries and adjustments
• Develop an understanding of the business and operations behind the numbers
• Take on additional analytical, reporting and accounting responsibilities as experience develops
Why consider this opportunity?
• Clear development path toward a Senior Accountant role
• Broad exposure to accounting and business operations rather than being siloed into one function
• Excellent opportunity to build a strong foundation early in your accounting career
• Strong employee retention with a history of developing and promoting employees internally
• Opportunity to learn directly from experienced accounting leadership
• Twice annual bonus opportunities, including a performance based year end bonus
• Company has previously supported remaining education costs for employees who demonstrate a strong long term fit
For immediate consideration, apply now or connect with Bryan Rushing at Robert Half on LinkedIn.
• Bachelor’s degree in Accounting or Finance preferred
• Open to recent graduates with little or no professional accounting experience
• Candidates currently completing an Accounting degree may also be considered
• Basic understanding of accounting principles
• Strong learning aptitude and willingness to learn the business from the ground up
• Team oriented with a willingness to assist with basic responsibilities while learning the organization
