Job Description

LHH is working with a company in the Fort Worth area that is adding a new GL Accountant to their team. This position will be responsible for ensuring accurate financial reporting across payroll, benefits, and general ledger activities in a multi-entity environment. This role serves as a critical link between payroll accounting and broader financial operations, including intercompany accounting, month-end close, tax compliance, and audit support. This position focuses on accounting for payroll and benefits — it is not a payroll processing role — and requires a strong understanding of how payroll and benefits impact financial statements.

Job Responsibilities:

• Record payroll-related journal entries in the general ledger, including wages, bonuses, fringe benefits, deductions, and employer benefit contributions.
• Reconcile payroll-related accounts, such as accrued payroll, benefits payable, and 401(k) withholdings.
• Review and reconcile benefit provider invoices and coordinate with HR and Accounts Payable for timely and accurate payment processing.
• Prepare and post journal entries related to accruals, prepaids, allocations, and revenue recognition.
• Reconcile general ledger and balance sheet accounts, including accounts receivable, accounts payable, payroll liabilities, and prepaid/accrued expenses.
• Support accurate and timely month-end close processes and the preparation of financial reporting packages.
• Manage intercompany transactions across 14+ legal entities, including eliminations and account reconciliations.
• Assist with the preparation of consolidated financial statements and ensure the accuracy of intercompany balances.
• Identify opportunities to streamline payroll accounting, account reconciliations, and month-end close processes.
• Collaborate with Billing, Payroll, and Accounts Payable teams to enhance accuracy and consistency in financial operations.

Job Requirements:

• Bachelor’s degree in Accounting, Finance, or a related field.
• 2–4 years of experience in general ledger accounting, with direct involvement in payroll-related journal entries and account reconciliations .
• Strong understanding of payroll accounting, including payroll funding, accruals, and liability reconciliation.
• Experience with ERP systems (such as Jamis, Deltek, Oracle, or SAP) and payroll platforms (such as Paycom, ADP, or UKG) preferred.
• Proficient in Microsoft Excel, including pivot tables, VLOOKUP/XLOOKUP, and reconciliation templates.
• Experience working in a government contracting or multi-entity environment is a plus.
