## Description (the employer's text)

### About the Role

Join a Kelso accounting team that delivers high-standard accounting operations: accurate, timely, and well-controlled results, produced through a weekly continuous close in one NetSuite OneWorld environment and supported by AI-enabled tools.

As a Staff Accountant, you will own cash application, bank reconciliations, and corporate card activity for your operating company, support the month-end close across the full balance sheet, and apply Kelso home office policies, including as newly acquired companies join the team.

### What You'll Own

### CASH, BANK, AND CARD

### Cash application and AR

- Apply customer payments (checks, ACH, wires, card) against open invoices daily, so cash is current every week, not only at month-end
- Resolve unapplied cash, short-pays, and overpayments with the credit team, and fix the root cause of recurring issues
- Produce AR aging and unapplied cash reporting that management and credit use to take action
### Bank reconciliations

- Own the reconciliation of all bank accounts, working the exceptions surfaced by automated bank-to-GL matching
- Clear reconciling items in the week they appear, and escalate unusual or unauthorized activity the same day
### Corporate card program (Ramp)

- Review transaction coding weekly, confirm receipts are attached, and reconcile Ramp to the general ledger by close
- Partner with card program administrators on coding rules, policy exceptions, and cardholder follow-up
### MONTH-END CLOSE AND RECONCILIATIONS

### Weekly and month-end close

- Maintain weekly closes so the month-end close is smooth and efficient
- Meet the month-end close calendar for every task assigned to you, and communicate early when a deadline is at risk
- Prepare journal entries for accruals, reclasses, and corrections, with support documented to audit standard
### Balance sheet reconciliations

- Support month-end close reconciliations for all balance sheet accounts, with every balance tied to the general ledger and to source records
- Investigate, document, and clear reconciling items, and escalate aged or unexplained balances
- Keep account roll-forwards and supporting schedules current and consistent from month to month
### FloQast

- Use FloQast as the system of record for the close: complete each checklist task, attach support, and sign off as preparer on time
- Route every reconciliation and task to an independent reviewer, and resolve review comments before sign-off
- Keep FloQast balances tied to NetSuite so the close certification reflects the final general ledger
### Audit and compliance

- Prepare PBC requests and respond to auditor questions on your accounts
- Maintain certificate of insurance (COI) tracking and flag gaps before they become exposure
- Prepare sales and use tax workpapers and support data for filings with our tax team and external partners
### POLICIES, CONTROLS, AND INTEGRATION

### Policies and acquisitions

- Learn and implement accounting policies from the home office, and apply them consistently in your entity
- Support newly acquired companies as they learn Kelso policies and are implemented into NetSuite
### Controls

- Run the controls in your areas as designed and retain evidence that holds up to external audit testing
### Tools and documentation

- Use NetSuite functionality and AI tools to complete your work efficiently and accurately
- Follow documented team processes and keep your desk procedures current so work can be cross-trained
### What You'll Bring

- Bachelor's degree in accounting or finance
- 2–4 years of general ledger accounting experience, including ownership of balance sheet account reconciliations
- Hands-on NetSuite experience, or another mid-market or enterprise ERP
- Solid understanding of U.S. GAAP and the month-end close
- Experience running a month-end close checklist with tasks and reconciliations, including identifying dependencies between tasks
- Strong Excel skills and attention to detail
- Comfort with AI and automation tools, and the curiosity to keep learning them
- A control mindset: you document your work, meet deadlines, and speak up early when something looks wrong
### NICE TO HAVE

- Public accounting, SOX, or external audit experience
