Accountant, GL Reconciliations-Senior (Night Shift)

We are seeking an Accountant, GL Reconciliations to own and support general ledger account reconciliations, balance sheet analysis, adjustment journal entries, and close activities for payroll-related accounts. This is a general ledger accounting role that requires strong reconciliation skills, sound accounting judgment, and the ability to research and resolve account activity across accruals, clearing accounts, liabilities, and related balance sheet positions.

Job Responsibilities:

• Prepare and review monthly general ledger and balance sheet reconciliations for payroll-related accounts, ensuring accuracy, completeness, and timely resolution of reconciling items.
• Perform general ledger account analysis and variance reviews, including prior quarter and prior year comparisons, and provide clear accounting-based explanations for material movements.
• Prepare journal entries, accruals, reclasses, and adjustments for payroll-related general ledger activity in accordance with U.S. GAAP, company policy, and established close timelines.
• Support month-end, quarter-end, and year-end close activities, including reconciliation preparation, financial analysis, and follow-up on outstanding accounting items.
• Research and resolve discrepancies between payroll source data, general ledger activity, clearing accounts, accruals, liabilities, and balance sheet positions.
• Maintain accurate reconciliation schedules, supporting documentation, and audit-ready evidence in accordance with internal controls and SOX requirements.
• Execute assigned control activities and ensure control evidence is complete, timely, and aligned with internal and external audit expectations.
• Ensure appropriate general ledger mapping, account classification, and accounting treatment for payroll-related transactions within Workday Financials or other ERP systems.
• Partner with Payroll Delivery, HR, Finance, and external providers to obtain supporting data, understand timing differences, and resolve general ledger accounting impacts without serving as the primary payroll processor.
• Support internal and external audit requests by providing reconciliations, schedules, supporting documentation, and concise explanations of account activity.
• Identify opportunities to improve reconciliation quality, close efficiency, documentation consistency, and accounting control effectiveness.
