Staff Accountant

The Groove is building out a formal finance and accounting function to match its growth, moving from a founder-run setup to a clean, accrual-basis close on Workday. The Staff Accountant will be the hands-on, day-to-day executor of that build-out: reconciliations, journal entries, AP/AR support, and general ledger discipline. This is a ground-floor opportunity to help stand up a finance function from the inside, working directly with the CFO and an experienced controller consultant.

Responsibilities

Perform monthly and quarterly bank reconciliations in Workday, including clearing a backlog of unapplied deposits and cash; Reconcile balance sheet accounts on an accrual basis each quarter, researching and correcting unnatural or stale balances; Support the transition to accrual-basis accounting (prepaid amortization, depreciation, accrual entries for payroll/PTO/bonus/commission, month-end adjustments) under the Controller Consultant's direction; Assist with accounts payable (invoice coding, cost-center/worktag completion, 1099 vendor tracking); Assist with accounts receivable (cash application, unapplied payment research, weekly time-and-billing reconciliation); Support payroll-related reconciliations, including matching payroll journal entries to ADP settlement detail and reviewing benefits deductions; Help build and maintain a documented monthly close checklist; Take on increasing responsibility for recurring, process-driven accounting work as Workday automation comes online

Requirements

Bachelor's degree in Accounting; 3–5 years of general ledger / staff accounting experience (journal entries, account reconciliations, AP/AR, month-end close support); Solid working knowledge of GAAP and double-entry accounting fundamentals; Comfort with Excel for reconciliation and analysis work (lookups, pivot tables); High attention to detail and comfort working through unresolved or messy data; Self-starter comfortable in a lean, fast-moving environment

Nice to have

Experience in a professional services or consulting business (time-and-billing, project-based revenue); Prior exposure to a system conversion or ERP implementation; Interest in growing into a senior accountant or assistant controller role
