Note: The job is a remote job and is open to candidates in USA. TRIDENT is an insurance agency and Third Party Administrator (TPA) serving approximately 60 self-funded employer groups. They are seeking a reliable, detail-oriented Senior Accountant to support the day-to-day accounting operations under the direction of the Controller, focusing on reconciliations and journal entries.
Responsibilities
- Prepare routine monthly journal entries under the direction of the Controller — accruals, prepaid amortization, depreciation, corrections, and reclassifications
- Ensure entries are properly coded to the correct entity, account, and cost center per company policy
- Maintain supporting documentation for all journal entries — clean workpapers that can be reviewed by the Controller or auditors without explanation
- Identify and flag discrepancies or unusual items to the Controller promptly rather than leaving them unresolved
- Complete monthly bank reconciliations for all company accounts across all three entities — reconciled, documented, and submitted within the close calendar
- Reconcile billing and vendor platform activity: match data exported from the enrollment/billing platform to the general ledger and identify any variances
- Reconcile vendor statements monthly for key AP vendors; flag and escalate discrepancies
- Assist with claims disbursement reconciliation for self-funded groups as directed by the Controller and VP of Plan & Payment Integrity
- Monitor AP and AR workflows, which are largely automated — review the exception queue, ensure timely processing, and escalate items that fall outside normal parameters
- Review AP aging report monthly; identify invoices past terms and bring to Controller's attention
- Review AR aging report monthly; flag overdue client balances and coordinate with operations as directed
- Process manual payments or adjustments when required, following established approval workflows
- Maintain accurate and consistent records across all three CWB entities — CWB Holdings, CWB Administrators, and any related entities — following entity-specific accounting policies
- Apply proper intercompany coding for transactions that span entities and flag any items that need intercompany elimination entries
- Follow the Controller's documented policies and procedures for each entity without deviation; surface questions immediately rather than making unsupported judgment calls
Skills
- Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, or a related field
- 4+ years of accounting experience in a professional setting with hands-on responsibility for reconciliations and journal entries
- Solid understanding of double-entry bookkeeping and accrual-basis accounting
- Experience performing bank reconciliations independently — not just reviewing someone else's work
- Strong attention to detail and a low tolerance for unresolved items — this person reconciles to zero, not 'close enough.'
- Ability to follow written policies and procedures precisely and ask questions when something is unclear rather than making independent judgment calls outside their scope
- QuickBooks experience preferred
- Sage Intacct experience a plus
