The Senior Accountant is part of a corporate accounting team responsible for the company-wide management of accounting matters for CHG Healthcare Services, Inc. The senior accountant owns assigned areas of CHG’s close process including monthly detailed preparation and review of journal entries, account reconciliations, flux analysis and reviewing the work of junior staff with the expectation of ensuring general ledger account balances are properly stated. Beyond the close, the senior accountant will prepare and review of financial statements, debt compliance certificates, participate in leading the annual financial statement audit and conduct accounting technical research for transactions that fall outside the routine.

Perform multi-entity and intercompany accounting, including intercompany eliminations, allocations across cost centers and segments, and consolidation support.
Prepare month-over-month and budget-to-actual flux analysis for owned accounts, identifying root cause rather than restating the variance, and draft commentary suitable for inclusion in leadership reporting.

- Use Workday ERP and related reporting tools effectively; partner with applicable business partner teams on configuration changes and testing.
- Identify and implement AI automation and process improvements that reduce manual effort, shorten the close, and improve control.
