Senior Accountant, Financial Reporting & Technical Accounting

Job Description

Insight Global is seeking a Senior Accountant to support its Financial Reporting and Technical Accounting team. This highly visible role assists with the preparation of financial statements, disclosures, ESG reporting, quarterly and annual filings, and technical accounting documentation for multiple legal entities.

The Senior Accountant will research complex accounting matters, investigate financial statement variances, support internal controls, and partner with Finance, Legal, Tax, Internal Audit, and business stakeholders to ensure compliance with U.S. GAAP and internal accounting policies.

While the position may assist with period-end close activities, reconciliations, and journal entries, it is not a traditional operational or staff accounting role. The primary focus is financial reporting, technical accounting, complex transactions, controls, and documentation.

o New agreements

o New accounting standards

o Accounting comparison assessments

o Ad hoc technical accounting questions

• Draft technical accounting memos, financial statement disclosures, and other supporting documentation.

• Analyze accounts, records, and reports to identify issues, trends, exceptions, and improvement opportunities.

• Perform complex reconciliations, investigate variances, and communicate findings to management.

• Tie financial information back to supporting documentation and follow discrepancies through resolution.

• Support internal control processes and help evaluate whether controls are operating effectively.

• Apply accounting and audit policies, documentation standards, and financial reporting review best practices.

• Support internal and external audit requests.

• Partner cross-functionally with Finance, Legal, Tax, Internal Audit, and business teams.

• Build strong relationships with stakeholders who provide financial and operational information.

• Recommend process improvements and assist with changes to financial systems and procedures.

• Use Microsoft Copilot and other AI tools, when appropriate, to support initial drafts of disclosures and accounting memos.

• Assist with period-end close responsibilities, journal entries, and other accounting activities as needed.
