Senior Accountant – GAAP/IFRS, Month-End Close & Financial Reporting

Position Type: Full-Time, Remote Working Hours: Flexible, aligned with U.S. client business hours

About the Role

At Pavago, we’re seeking an experienced Senior Accountant to own critical accounting processes, maintain financial accuracy, support compliance, and provide reliable financial reporting and insights to leadership.

This is not a transactional bookkeeping role.

You’ll take ownership of core accounting functions including:

  • General ledger accounting
  • Month-end and quarter-end close
  • Balance sheet reconciliations
  • Financial reporting and variance analysis
  • Audit and tax support
  • Internal controls
  • Accounting process improvement
  • Junior team mentorship

The ideal candidate combines strong technical knowledge of GAAP/IFRS with hands-on accounting execution, analytical thinking, and a process-improvement mindset.

What You’ll Own

General Ledger & Account Reconciliations

  • Prepare and post journal entries for:
  • Accruals
  • Prepaid expenses
  • Payroll allocations
  • Depreciation
  • Intercompany transactions
  • Maintain reconciliations across approximately 15–30 key balance sheet accounts.
  • Reconcile cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, inventory, deferred revenue, and other accounts.
  • Investigate discrepancies and ensure issues are resolved accurately.
  • Maintain complete and audit-ready accounting records.

Month-End & Quarter-End Close

Own and coordinate monthly and quarterly close activities.

You will:

  • Prepare and review trial balances.
  • Ensure journal entries are complete and accurate.
  • Complete month-end close within approximately 5–7 business days, with a target of five days.
  • Maintain detailed close checklists.
  • Coordinate required cross-functional sign-offs.
  • Identify and resolve issues that could delay reporting.
  • Continuously improve close efficiency and accuracy.

Financial Reporting & Analysis

  • Prepare and review:
  • Profit & Loss statements
  • Balance sheets
  • Cash flow statements
  • Supporting schedules
  • Perform budget-to-actual and forecast-to-actual variance analysis.
  • Investigate significant financial variances.
  • Prepare written commentary explaining financial performance.
  • Provide actionable financial insights for leadership.
  • Prepare supporting schedules for board meetings, audits, and other reporting requirements.

Audit, Tax & Compliance Support

  • Prepare PBC (Prepared by Client) schedules and supporting documentation for external auditors.
  • Respond to audit requests accurately and within required timelines.
  • Support timely and accurate filings for:
  • Sales tax
  • Property tax
  • Corporate income tax
  • Maintain accounting policies, controls, and supporting documentation.
  • Ensure accounting processes align with applicable GAAP and/or IFRS standards.
  • Identify accounting or control risks and escalate issues appropriately.

Internal Controls & Accounting Accuracy

  • Maintain strong controls across accounting workflows.
  • Review reconciliations and supporting documentation for completeness.
  • Identify unusual transactions, exceptions, and accounting discrepancies.
  • Ensure appropriate documentation and approval processes are followed.
  • Help maintain accurate, consistent, and audit-ready financial records.

Process Improvement & Automation

Identify opportunities to make accounting operations faster, more accurate, and more scalable.

You will:

  • Review existing accounting workflows and identify inefficiencies.
  • Recommend and implement process improvements.
  • Identify opportunities for accounting and reporting automation.
  • Update SOPs and accounting documentation.
  • Standardize recurring accounting processes.
  • Support ERP improvements and finance system optimization initiatives.

Team Leadership & Mentorship

  • Review work completed by staff accountants and bookkeepers.
  • Provide feedback on reconciliations, journal entries, and financial reporting.
  • Mentor junior team members on accounting treatments and best practices.
  • Help improve accuracy and consistency across the accounting function.
  • Support the professional development of junior accounting staff.

Cross-Functional Finance Collaboration

Partner with:

  • FP&A
  • Operations
  • Sales
  • Finance leadership
  • Other business stakeholders

You will:

  • Support budgeting and forecasting processes.
  • Collaborate on variance reviews.
  • Coordinate with operations and sales regarding revenue recognition.
  • Provide financial information needed for business decisions.
  • Translate accounting data into clear insights for non-finance stakeholders.

Required Experience & Skills

Non-Negotiables

  • Bachelor’s degree in Accounting, Finance, or a related field.
  • 4–5+ years of progressive accounting experience.
  • Strong understanding of GAAP and/or IFRS.
  • Hands-on experience with:
  • General ledger accounting
  • Journal entries
  • Balance sheet reconciliations
  • Month-end close
  • Financial statement preparation
  • Variance analysis
  • Audit support
  • Experience with accounting systems such as:
  • NetSuite
  • QuickBooks
  • Xero
  • SAP
  • Similar ERP/accounting platforms
  • Advanced Excel or Google Sheets skills, including:
  • Pivot Tables
  • VLOOKUP
  • INDEX/MATCH
  • Conditional formatting
  • Strong analytical and problem-solving skills.
  • Excellent written and verbal English communication.
  • Ability to work independently in a remote environment.

Nice-to-Have Experience

  • CPA, ACCA, or equivalent professional accounting certification.
  • NetSuite experience.
  • Multi-entity accounting and consolidations.
  • Foreign currency accounting.
  • Experience in:
  • SaaS

  • Real estate
  • Experience supporting ERP implementations.
  • Accounting automation or finance transformation experience.
  • Experience working directly with FP&A teams.
  • Experience mentoring junior accountants or bookkeepers.
  • Familiarity with Confluence or similar documentation systems.

What Makes You a Strong Fit

You:

  • Understand accounting principles beyond basic bookkeeping.
  • Take ownership of financial accuracy and reporting deadlines.
  • Can independently manage month-end close responsibilities.
  • Are highly analytical without losing attention to detail.
  • Investigate discrepancies rather than simply recording adjustments.
  • Maintain organized and audit-ready documentation.
  • Can explain financial information clearly to non-finance stakeholders.
  • Look for ways to improve and automate repetitive accounting processes.
  • Are comfortable reviewing and mentoring junior team members.
  • Thrive in structured, deadline-driven environments.

What a Typical Day Looks Like

Morning

  • Review bank activity and reconcile recent transactions.
  • Post accruals for payroll, vendor invoices, and other expenses.
  • Review exception reports and investigate unusual activity.
  • Check progress against the accounting close calendar.

Midday

  • Prepare or review draft financial statements.
  • Analyze expense allocations against budgets and forecasts.
  • Investigate material variances.
  • Meet with Operations or other stakeholders regarding deferred revenue or reporting questions.

Afternoon

  • Review balance sheet reconciliations prepared by junior team members.
  • Provide feedback on accounting treatments and documentation.
  • Resolve outstanding close items.
  • Support audit, tax, or compliance requests.

End of Day

  • Update variance analysis and financial commentary.
  • Review month-end close progress.
  • Update accounting schedules, SOPs, and supporting documentation.
  • Prepare outstanding items for the following day.

In short: you ensure financial operations remain accurate, compliant, efficient, audit-ready, and useful for decision-making.

Key Metrics for Success

  • Month-end close completed within 5 business days.
  • Less than 1% reconciliation error rate.
  • 100% of audit requests delivered on time.
  • Accurate and timely financial statements.
  • Strong quality and consistency of variance analysis.
  • Complete and audit-ready accounting documentation.
  • Improved close and reporting efficiency.
  • Effective mentorship and review of junior accounting staff.
  • Leadership confidence in financial reporting accuracy.

Why This Role Stands Out

  • High ownership across core accounting operations.
  • Exposure to both accounting execution and financial analysis.
  • Direct collaboration with leadership and FP&A.
  • Opportunity to improve accounting systems and processes.
  • Exposure to ERP and finance automation initiatives.
  • Fully remote environment with flexibility around U.S. client operations.
  • Career growth opportunities into:
  • Accounting Manager
  • Senior Accounting Manager
  • Controller
  • Finance Operations Manager
  • Director of Accounting
