Role Summary

We are looking for a warm, patient, and detail-oriented Senior Accountant (2–5 yrs) who can both keep our books spotless and stay on top of project-level budgets and milestones. You will steer daily QuickBooks activity, deliver audit-ready GAAP/SEC reports, and run simple project trackers so management always knows where each initiative stands.

Key Responsibilities

• General Ledger & QuickBooks Management – Post daily transactions, reconcile bank/credit-card feeds, manage A/R & A/P, and close the books monthly.
• Financial Reporting – Prepare and review timely, GAAP-compliant financial statements and supporting schedules.
• Project Management & Coordination – Maintain a simple project dashboard (budget, timeline, owner, milestones); host weekly check-ins; escalate delays or budget overruns.
• Audit Coordination – Provide clean workpapers and reconciliations; respond to auditor requests and implement adjustments promptly.
• Regulatory Compliance – Monitor SEC and other statutory requirements; ensure filings and disclosures meet public-company standards.
• Controls & Risk – Evaluate internal accounting procedures, pinpoint control gaps, and recommend improvements.
• Budgeting & Cash-Flow Forecasts – Prepare rolling 12-month forecasts and variance analyses for leadership review.
• Process Improvement – Streamline systems (QuickBooks, Excel, Power BI; Smartsheet/Asana a plus) to boost speed and accuracy.
• Regulatory Awareness – Track emerging GAAP / SEC updates and incorporate them proactively.
• Nice-to-have – Willingness to support annual/quarterly corporate tax compliance in coordination with external advisors.

Qualifications

• Education – Bachelor's in Accounting, Finance, or related field.
• Experience – 3–5 years progressive accounting; public-company or audit exposure strongly preferred; prior project-accounting or budget-tracking experience is a plus.
• Technical – Advanced QuickBooks (Desktop or Online) and Excel; comfortable with GL systems and basic project-management tools (Smartsheet, Asana, or similar).
• Knowledge – Solid US GAAP; working familiarity with SEC reporting.
• Soft Skills – Exceptional attention to detail, ability to juggle multiple deadlines, and strong organizational and communication skills.
• Language – Fluent English and Mandarin.
• Preferred but not required -- Familiarity with information reporting (e.g., 1099/1096), basic sales/use tax workflows, and maintaining a simple tax/compliance calendar.
