As a Sr. Accountant, you will play a pivotal role in ensuring the accuracy of financial reporting, streamlining processes, and contributing to month-end closes. If you're seeking Senior Accountant jobs in Bloomington, MN, or contract accounting roles with Robert Half, this position offers hands-on experience with advanced Excel, ERP systems like Oracle or NetSuite, and collaborative team dynamics.

Why This Senior Accountant Position Stands Out

In today's competitive job market for accounting talent, this role emphasizes precision in balance sheet reconciliations, mastery of Excel pivot tables and VLOOKUPs, and a proactive approach to process improvements via SOPs. Our client values candidates who can handle complex fixed asset tracking, depreciation schedules, intercompany reconciliations, and consolidation processes while supporting audits. Bloomington, MN, offers a vibrant business hub with proximity to major corporations, making it an ideal location for hybrid accounting careers. Join Robert Half to leverage our expertise in placing top accounting professionals in rewarding contract roles that build your resume and network.

Key Responsibilities

The Sr. Accountant will manage critical financial functions with a focus on accuracy and efficiency:

• Oversee end-to-end fixed asset accounting, from tracking acquisitions and disposals to calculating depreciation and generating detailed reports for management review.
• Handle intercompany accounting transactions, ensuring all eliminations, reconciliations, and postings are accurate across multiple entities.
• Execute financial consolidations, compiling data from subsidiaries to produce consolidated financial statements on tight deadlines.
• Drive the month-end close process by preparing journal entries, flux analysis, and thorough balance sheet reconciliations.
• Provide robust audit support, delivering schedules, roll-forwards, and documentation to internal and external auditors promptly.
• Develop and refine accounting processes using SOPs, sharing best practices to enhance team performance and reduce errors.
• Perform manual reconciliations in Excel, leveraging advanced functions like pivot tables, VLOOKUPs, INDEX-MATCH, and data validation for insightful analysis.
• Foster collaboration across departments, communicating financial insights clearly to non-finance stakeholders.

Required Qualifications

To succeed as a Senior Accountant with our client, candidates must demonstrate:

• A Bachelor’s degree in Accounting, Finance, or a related field.
• Proven experience in fixed asset accounting, intercompany transactions, and consolidation processes.
• Advanced Excel skills, including proficiency with pivot tables, VLOOKUPs, and complex reconciliations.
• Preference for hands-on experience with ERP systems such as Oracle, JD Edwards (JDE), SAP, or NetSuite.
• Exceptional communication, problem-solving, and teamwork abilities, with a mindset for continuous improvement.
• Adaptability to learn new systems and processes in a fast-paced, hybrid work setting.

Prior contract or temporary accounting roles are a plus, especially those involving audit preparation and financial closes.
