Richmond, VA (Hybrid - 2 days onsite required)

Contract-to-Hire

Alphanumeric is hiring a Senior/Lead Accountant to support a high-impact accounting and financial reporting function within a complex, regulated financial environment.

This is a contract-to-hire opportunity with strong long-term potential for candidates seeking stability, growth, and exposure to complex accounting operations.

Important Requirements:

• Local Richmond, VA candidates only (must be able to work onsite 2x per week).
• Must be eligible to work on a W2 basis (no C2C or 1099).
• No visa sponsorship available.
• CPA highly preferred (or actively in progress).

What You'll Be Doing:

• Support complex accounting and financial reporting activities under US GAAP (and exposure to statutory/regulatory environments).
• Perform detailed account analysis, reconciliations, and journal entries across multiple accounting areas.
• Evaluate accounting treatment for complex transactions and ensure compliance with evolving accounting standards.
• Participate in the adoption and implementation of new accounting guidance and requirements.
• Support internal controls, audit readiness, and financial reporting processes.
• Partner cross-functionally with finance, audit, and business teams to resolve accounting issues.
• Identify process improvement opportunities and enhance reporting accuracy and efficiency.

What We're Looking For:

Required:

• Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, or related field.
• Experience in complex accounting environments (public accounting strongly preferred - Big 4 or large regional firms).
• Demonstrated experience with technical accounting, financial reporting, or adoption of new accounting standards.
• Strong analytical, problem-solving, and critical thinking skills.
• Ability to adapt quickly in evolving and complex accounting environments.
• Strong communication skills and ability to work cross-functionally.

Preferred:

• CPA (or actively pursuing).
• Background in regulated industries (financial services, insurance, etc.).
• Experience supporting audits and internal controls.

What This Role Is NOT:

• Not an AP/AR-focused role.
• Not a transactional accounting position.
• Not suitable for candidates without complex or technical accounting experience.

Why This Role Stands Out:

• Clear path to full-time conversion ($105K-$115K + bonus).
• Exposure to complex accounting and evolving regulatory requirements.
• Opportunity to work alongside experienced accounting leaders.
• Strong resume builder for candidates with public accounting backgrounds.
