Role Title: Senior Accountant
ECLARO: A quick Summary
ECLARO is an award-winning professional services firm headquartered in New York City and operating in the U.S., Canada, UK, Ireland, Australia and the Philippines. We are dedicated to a singular purpose: providing the Right People to meet every client’s needs and solve business challenges through strategic staffing, permanent placement, custom outsourcing & offshoring. Utilizing our proprietary TRINIT-E® Service Maturity Model, we help clients implement programs to promote innovation, automation and process improvement.
About the Role:
In this critical role, you will be responsible for ensuring the accuracy and integrity of our financial reporting while providing insights that drive strategic decision-making. Your day-to-day work will involve managing complex accounting processes, collaborating with cross-functional teams, and having a direct impact on the success of our business. You’ll be empowered to bring fresh ideas, streamline processes, and help build a best-in-class accounting function that supports our long-term growth goals.
What You’ll Be Doing:
• Drive Process Innovation: Be part of the evolution of our accounting processes. Identify areas for improvement and implement new, efficient procedures to streamline operations and enhance financial reporting. Many of our processes were left unchanged for too long so the opportunity for improvement and change is real and should bring excitement to the right candidate. One more item to note, we are going live in a new ledger, NetSuite, during Q1 and really need your help!
• Monitor Daily Cash: Take ownership of our daily cash reporting. You’ll ensure everything is accurate, timely, and complete before sending a daily summary to our executive team. Help us tighten our controls around cash budgeting and forecasting while making recommendations for immediate cash needs.
• Ensure Accuracy in Entry Preparation and Review: You will assist with the preparation and review of journal entries, ensuring the accuracy and compliance of all accounting records. Your work is key in ensuring we produce timely and accurate financial reporting consistently.
• Create and Maintain a Repeatable Monthly Reconciliation Process: Take a hands-on role in our bank and trust reconciliations by implementing best practices in cash, A/R and A/P. Create a process that others can follow so you can become the primary reviewer of this area.
• Spot Weaknesses and Drive Change: Use a risk-based approach to identify weaknesses in our processes and help us put in place controls to prevent, detect, and mitigate risks of misstatement in our financials.
• Backup and Assist A/R and A/P: Work directly with our A/P and A/R leads to document current processes while recommending more stringent, but efficient processes for the future. Provide critical backup to these areas when resources are constrained.
What You Bring to the Table:
• A bachelor’s degree in accounting, CPA designation, and minimum of 10 years of experience
• A minimum of 5 years’ experience supporting US property/casualty insurance companies
• Advanced proficiency in accounting software and MS Suite of products, with a passion for leveraging technology to drive efficiency. NetSuite experience is preferred.
• A deep understanding of GAAP, STAT, and regulatory requirements within the insurance sector.
• A forward-thinking, analytical, and risk-based mindset.
• Strong communication skills.
