Job Information
Robert Half Accounting Manager/Supervisor in Hartford, Connecticut
Description The Role:
For decades, Robert Half’s Full Time Consultants have been working with clients who desire outside talent to assist their accounting departments on an interim basis, though want the business continuity of a dedicated resource who can lend a hand for as long as needed. In this role, you will be aligned with projects based on your skillset, focus on one client at a time (not juggling a portfolio), and perform hands-on accounting/reporting. As the project winds down, we re-deploy you to the next client, and any down time between projects is 100% paid. No travel, clients are local to CT/Western Mass and are remote, hybrid or on-site.
The Work:
This is a hands-on role. You will work closely with our clients and their staff to perform and improve accounting functions. Duties include month end close, reporting, reconciliations, budget/forecasting, implementations and special projects. Our clients range in size, though mostly mid-to-large sized private and public companies across diverse industries. Engagements typically last at least 6 months, giving us the opportunity to add value while our consultants have a predictable, set schedule.
The Benefits:
• STABILITY: Robert Half is a Fortune 500 global award-winning company, and as consultant you are generating revenue, so no need to worry about consolidations, re-orgs or downsizing!
• QUALITY of LIFE: Enjoy a predictable work week and no calls or texts from your boss on weekends! Your day ends when you close your laptop.
• VARIETY and CAREER EXPANSION: You’ll have the opportunity to work for a variety of companies and industries as well as working side-by-side with financial leaders of all walks of life.
• COMPENSATION AND BENEFITS: Market-competitive salary, Fortune-level benefit plan, guaranteed salary PLUS compensation for weekly hours worked over 40 (!!) and bonus plan. As a salaried employee, you are fully compensated for any down time between projects.
The Required Experience:
This role is best suited for professionals who are adept at stepping into new environments, can read-the-room, and understand we are here to get work done while making improvements as desired. Sometimes we keep the train on the track, and sometimes we get it back on the track- you need to be comfortable with either scenario.
Prior accounting experience should include:
Bachelor’s degree in Accounting, CPA/other designations a plus.
10+ years of progressive accounting experience in mid-to-large companies, including experience as an Accounting Manager/Controller or equivalent role.
Strong working knowledge of U.S. GAAP and financial reporting.
Strong IT skills, above average Excel and hands-on experience with ERP systems (e.g., SAP, Oracle, NetSuite) and financial reporting tools.
What’s Next:
Apply! If your experience aligns with above, I’ll schedule a call to review the role further, answer any questions you have, and we can determine mutual interest. Our hiring process is very straight-forward as we want to make sure the role is great fit for both parties. Requirements • Bachelor’s degree in Accounting or a related field; CPA or other relevant certifications preferred.
• Minimum of 10 years of progressive accounting experience, including roles such as Accounting Manager or Controller.
• Proficiency in month-end close procedures, general ledger management, and account reconciliations.
