Day in the Life of a Kasa Staff Accountant

• As is normal in the accounting world, each day will be different depending on the time within the reporting cycle. The main focus will be ensuring the accuracy of our general ledger and financial reporting. You will work with other Finance Kasamig@s to complete centralized and de-centralized accounting assignments. During month-end, you will perform other ad-hoc financial duties – you are ready to wear multiple hats.

You will provide variance explanations both in writing and verbally to assist in interpreting results.
• You will perform account analyses and account reconciliations to ensure results are reasonable and accurate. You will ensure our property partners are paid timely and settle intercompany balances between the properties and parent company.
• When you are not in the thick of financial reporting, your focus will be to work on strategic initiatives. Examples include helping the team by improving the time to close the books by using your spreadsheet skills to revamp or partially automate processes, and assisting the Finance Manager with meeting annual audit requirements. You will identify, communicate, and implement process improvements.
• Every other week you will participate in a company-wide meeting where we discuss the business. You get to interact with leaders from other departments and share ideas to help grow the business. Our culture is based on a remote work environment where we take pride in getting to know each other and what drives us.
