Senior Accountant Own the Close. Be the Go‑To. Make an Impact. Location: Hybrid – Annapolis Junction, MD Type: Contract
If you enjoy running point on month‑end close, working hands‑on in Microsoft Dynamics GP (Great Plains), and want a role where your work is highly visible and valued, this is it!
This isn’t a role where you assist with close.
This is a role where you own it, improve it, and are trusted as a key member of the accounting team. You’ll step into a stable environment with established systems, clear processes, and leadership that understands the importance of clean, timely financials.
Own the monthly close process from start to finish — journal entries, accruals, reconciliations, review, and reporting
Act as a Dynamics GP power user, ensuring accuracy and integrity of financial data
Maintain and reconcile general ledger accounts with confidence and precision
Prepare monthly financial statements and supporting schedules for leadership
Analyze variances and explain the “why” behind the numbers
Support audits and serve as a key accounting contact
Identify opportunities to streamline, improve, and shorten the close
What We’re Looking For
5+ years of progressive accounting experience
Strong, hands‑on experience using Microsoft Dynamics GP (Great Plains)
Proven experience owning month‑end close (not just supporting it)
Solid GAAP knowledge and strong Excel skills
Someone who is organized, deadline‑driven, and takes pride in accurate work
Nice to Have (Not Required)
CPA or CPA‑eligible
Experience in manufacturing, healthcare, government contracting, or distribution
