Pavago
Job Title: Senior Accountant Position Type: Full-Time, Remote Working Hours: Flexible, aligned with U.S. client business hours About Pavago: Pavago seeks a Senior Accountant to provide leadership in accounting operations, ensuring accurate financial reporting, compliance with GAAP/IFRS, and actionable insights for decision-making. This role goes beyond transactional bookkeeping — it requires managing full-cycle accounting processes, supervising junior staff, and partnering with management to improve financial operations. Responsibilities: General Ledger & Journal Entries: - Prepare and post journal entries for accruals, prepaids, fixed asset depreciation, payroll allocations, and intercompany transactions. - Maintain reconciliations across 15–30 key balance sheet accounts (cash, AR, AP, inventory, deferred revenue). Month-End Close: - Lead monthly/quarterly close cycles. - Prepare trial balances, ensure all entries are recorded, and complete close within 5–7 business days. - Maintain detailed close checklists and ensure cross-departmental sign-offs. Financial Reporting: - Generate P&L, balance sheet, and cash flow statements. - Prepare variance analyses comparing actuals vs. budget/forecast, and provide written commentary for leadership. - Compile supporting schedules for auditors and board meetings. Audit & Compliance: - Support external audits by preparing PBC (Prepared by Client) schedules. - Ensure tax filings (sales tax, property tax, corporate income tax) are accurate and timely. - Document and enforce internal accounting policies. Process Improvement: - Identify inefficiencies (manual reconciliations, duplicate entries) and recommend automation. - Implement accounting best practices and update SOPs. Team Support: - Review and approve work of staff accountants/bookkeepers. - Mentor junior team members on reconciliation, reporting, and GAAP treatment. Cross-Functional Collaboration: - Partner with FP&A on budget vs. actual reviews. - Coordinate with operations and sales to align revenue recognition. What Makes You a Perfect Fit: - Strong technical knowledge of GAAP/IFRS. - Ability to manage detailed tasks while providing high-level financial insights. - Strong communicator with both finance professionals and non-financial stakeholders. - Proactive in identifying risks and recommending improvements. Required Experience & Skills (Minimum): - Bachelor’s degree in Accounting, Finance, or related. - 4–5 years progressive accounting experience. - Proficiency in QuickBooks, NetSuite, Xero, or SAP. - Advanced Excel/Google Sheets (pivot tables, VLOOKUP, INDEX/MATCH, conditional formatting). Ideal Experience & Skills: - CPA/ACCA certification. - Experience with multi-entity consolidations and foreign currency accounting. - Background in SaaS, professional services, or real estate. - ERP implementation or automation project experience. What Does a Typical Day Look Like? - Morning: Review bank feeds and reconcile overnight transactions in NetSuite. Post accrual entries for payroll and vendor invoices. Run exception reports to spot anomalies. - Midday: Prepare draft P&L and review expense allocations against budget. Meet with operations to align on deferred revenue recognition for service contracts. - Afternoon: Mentor a junior accountant on preparing a fixed asset depreciation schedule. Review their reconciliation for credit card transactions and provide feedback. - End of Day: Update variance analysis template, prepare a summary memo for CFO, and document close checklist progress in Confluence. Key Metrics for Success (KPIs): - Month-end close completed within 5 business days. - <1% error rate in reconciliations. - 100% of audit requests delivered within deadline. - Consistent variance commentary provided to leadership. Interview Process: - Initial Phone Screen - Video Interview with Pavago Recruiter - Practical Accounting Task (e.g., reconcile sample accounts, prepare variance analysis from provided data) - Client Interview - Offer & Background Verification
