About the Role
Our client, a large multi entity organization with a centralized accounting model, is seeking a Balance Sheet Accountant to join their Shared Services team. This role is ideal for someone who thrives in a structured environment, enjoys digging into balance sheet details, and takes pride in producing accurate, audit ready financials.
You ll own a portfolio of balance sheet accounts, lead the reconciliation process, analyze variances, and partner with internal stakeholders to ensure financial data is complete, supported, and compliant with accounting standards.
This is a great fit for someone who wants meaningful responsibility, exposure to complex entities, and a clear path for growth.

- Identify, investigate, and resolve reconciliation variances with accuracy and urgency
- Ensure all period end balances are supported with valid documentation and aligned with internal controls
- Support quarterly reviews and annual audits by preparing schedules, explanations, and supporting documentation
- Perform account analysis to identify trends, anomalies, and opportunities for process improvement
- Collaborate with cross functional partners to validate data, resolve issues, and maintain strong financial governance
- Assist with special projects, process enhancements, and the implementation of new accounting standards
- Provide guidance to junior team members as needed

- Strong understanding of GAAP and internal controls
- Proficiency with spreadsheets and accounting systems
- Ability to manage multiple deadlines with accuracy and consistency
- Strong analytical skills and a natural curiosity for understanding the why behind variances
- CPA or CPA track is a plus but not required
Why This Opportunity Stands Out
- Exposure to a high volume, multi entity environment that builds real technical depth
- Clear visibility into the business and direct interaction with accounting leadership
- Stable organization with strong processes and a commitment to continuous improvement
- A role that balances autonomy with support, giving you room to grow
