Senior Accountant (Contract) | Indianapolis, IN | On-Site

We are currently seeking a Senior Accountant for a project-based contract role supporting a dynamic and evolving accounting team in Indianapolis. This is a fully on-site opportunity offering flexible hours and the chance to step into a critical role during a high-impact transition period.

This position is ideal for a technically strong accounting professional who thrives in fast-paced environments, enjoys rolling up their sleeves, and can quickly integrate into established processes. You'll play a key role in ensuring the continuity of financial operations during a temporary leave while contributing to broader efficiency initiatives.

Key Responsibilities

  • Prepare and post month-end journal entries

  • Complete monthly account reconciliations

  • Maintain accurate and timely financial records

  • Review prior-period entries and validate supporting documentation

  • Support and drive the monthly close process to meet deadlines

  • Provide hands-on accounting support during a temporary project period

  • Partner with internal team members to ensure smooth transition and continuity

Qualifications

  • 3+ years of accounting experience

  • Strong experience with month-end close processes

  • Proficiency in journal entries and account reconciliations

  • Experience with cash reconciliations

  • Highly detail-oriented with strong organizational skills

  • Ability to work independently and manage priorities effectively

  • Proven ability to learn systems and processes quickly

Preferred Profile

  • Adaptable and easy-going personality

  • Comfortable working in a lean, evolving environment

  • Team-oriented mindset with a willingness to jump in where needed

  • Ability to collaborate within a streamlined accounting team

Position Details

  • Job Title: Senior Accountant (Contract / Project-Based)

  • Location: Indianapolis, IN (Fully On-Site)

  • Duration: Approximately 3 months

  • Start Date: Targeting late June

  • Schedule: Flexible hours within a standard business week

  • Compensation: $43.27/hour

About the Opportunity

This role was created to support the accounting team during a planned leave while maintaining efficiency during a busy period. The organization is undergoing strategic initiatives to streamline operations, offering a unique opportunity to contribute in a meaningful way while gaining exposure to process improvements and cross-functional collaboration.

Why This Role Stands Out

  • Immediate impact in a high-visibility accounting function

  • Opportunity to step into a structured process with strong team collaboration

  • Exposure to operational improvements and evolving accounting workflows

  • Flexible schedule within a professional, team-oriented environment

Interested?
