Staff Accountant

Job Description:

About the Role

The Groove is building out a formal finance and accounting function to match its growth — moving from a founder-run, FreshBooks-era setup to a clean, accrual-basis close on Workday. We're hiring a Staff Accountant to be the hands-on, day-to-day executor of that build-out: reconciliations, journal entries, AP/AR support, and the general ledger discipline that lets the rest of the finance team focus on policy and higher-level review rather than data entry. This is a ground-floor opportunity to help stand up a finance function from the inside, working directly with the CFO and an experienced controller consultant.

What You'll Do

• Perform monthly and quarterly bank reconciliations in Workday, including clearing out a backlog of unapplied deposits and cash.

• Reconcile balance sheet accounts on an accrual basis each quarter, researching and correcting unnatural or stale balances.

• Support the transition to accrual-basis accounting: prepaid amortization, depreciation, accrual entries for payroll/PTO/bonus/commission, and other standard month-end adjustments, under the Controller Consultant's direction.

• Assist with accounts payable: invoice coding, cost-center/worktag completion, and 1099 vendor tracking alongside the AP/payroll lead.

• Assist with accounts receivable: cash application, unapplied payment research, and supporting a weekly reconciliation process for time-and-billing data.

• Support payroll-related reconciliations, including matching payroll journal entries to ADP settlement detail and reviewing benefits deductions for accuracy.

• Help build and maintain a documented monthly close checklist as the function matures.

• Take on increasing responsibility for recurring, process-driven accounting work as Workday automation (bank-rec, AP workflow, revenue-recognition) comes online, freeing up senior team members for review and exception-handling rather than data entry.
