Our client in the renewable energy sector is undergoing a period of transition following a recent change in ownership and is seeking a Staff Accountant to help stabilize their accounting function. With Q2 financials approaching and significant turnover in the finance team, this role is key to ensuring timely, accurate reporting during a high-volume close period.

- Support the month-end close process with timely entries and reconciliations.
- Assist with cleanup of outstanding transactions and help prepare financials for Q2 reporting.
- Use Excel to maintain and prepare supporting schedules, including reconciliations and reports.
Deliverables Include:
- Accurate and timely payroll, prepaid, and expense entries.
- Clean and complete bank reconciliations for all entities.
- Organized Excel schedules supporting financial close.
- Support for timely Q2 close in line with internal deadlines.
What We’re Looking For:
- 2+ years of general accounting experience, including month-end close responsibilities.
- Strong Excel skills, including reconciliations, pivot tables, and data entry accuracy.
- Familiarity with IFRS or US GAAP environments.
- Experience extracting data from ADP or similar payroll software (no payroll processing required).

- Available to start by June 16th and work in-office at least two days per week during onboarding.
