Senior Accountant

About the Role

Channel Fusion is transforming from a services-heavy channel marketing company into a product-led, AI-enabled platform business. As we scale, our Finance function needs to scale with it — with clean books, tight close cycles, and accounting infrastructure that can support a growing, increasingly complex organization.

The Senior Staff Accountant will own core accounting operations for Channel Fusion — month-end close, account reconciliations, payroll reconciliation, capitalized labor and fixed assets, and recurring tax compliance filings — reporting directly to the Director of Finance. This is a hands-on, high-ownership role for someone who wants to run their piece of the close, not just execute tasks inside it.

What You Own

• Reconciliations & Month-End Close — Prepare monthly balance sheet reconciliations for all accounts, resolve reconciling items timely, and own the month-end close checklist and calendar. Prepare and post journal entries, including accruals, prepaids, and amortization.
• Banking Execution — Perform bank reconciliations across multiple accounts. Execute internal fund transfers directing client payments to the correct accounts, based on instructions from the payments team, following established authorization and verification procedures.
• Payroll Reconciliation — Support payroll processing and reconciliation. Reconcile payroll registers to the general ledger and assist with benefits and deduction reconciliations.
• Recurring Tax & Compliance Filings — Prepare and file sales and use tax returns and other recurring compliance filings on schedule.
• Financial Reporting Support — Assist in preparing and reviewing monthly financial statements. Flag variances and unusual items to the Director of Finance.
• Billing & AP Accuracy — Review billing entries and accounts payable transactions for accuracy, completeness, and proper coding, partnering with the billing team to resolve discrepancies.
• Capitalized Labor & Fixed Assets — Track and calculate capitalized labor. Maintain fixed asset registers and amortization schedule

What You Do NOT Own

• Tax strategy and complex/annual tax filings — Owned by the Director of Finance and outside tax/CPA firm. You own recurring, routine filings (e.g., sales and use tax) on an established cadence.
• Final financial statement sign-off — Owned by the Director of Finance. Your job is accurate preparation and clear variance flagging, not final certification.
• Banking authorization limits and procedures — Owned by the Director of Finance. You execute transfers within established, pre-approved authorization and verification procedures — you do not set or modify them.
• Billing terms and pricing — Owned by the billing team. You review entries for accuracy and coding, not commercial terms.
• Payroll policy and benefits plan design — Owned by HR/People. You reconcile payroll and benefits deductions to the general ledger; you do not set policy.
• Budget approval — Owned by the Director of Finance.
