Job Title: Staff Accountant

Duration: 9 Months

Work Location: Carlsbad CA 92008

Job type: Contract

Work type: Onsite

Shift: (Ex: 8am-5pm; 7am-3pm) Normal hours 8 hours/day can be flexible

Job Description:

• Investigate and clean up asset descriptions and categories in the Fixed Asset ledger for multiple entities

• Support in the reconciliation of the physical count results to the ledger

• Enhance the Leasehold Improvements reporting to include linking all assets to a lease ID

Special Project will include:

• We are looking for a special project accountant to perform pre-work on the Fixed Asset subledger to clean up the asset descriptions and the asset categories prior to the physical asset count.

• This will ensure a faster floor to book reconciliation when the 100% asset count is performed during Q3/Q4 2022. This position will also support the floor to book reconciliation and work with the Accounting team on adding RFID asset #'s into the ledger and coordinating disposals.

• Additionally, the ideal candidate will have strong Excel and organization skills and be able to track progress and report out to management on a regular basis.

Pre-work :

• Research! This position will need to track down original asset request forms/purchase orders (all online) to find better descriptions of what is in the ledger (as some of the ledger names are vague and in the wrong categories).

• These details will need to be accumulated and tie back to the original asset capitalization value. There are approximately 25 larger locations that are in scope and 20 smaller sites with tangible fixed assets. Organization and prioritization skills are key for this position to be successful

Physical/Tangible assets :

• Once the physical asset has taken place this role will need to perform the official reconciliation of the floor to book records and work with the various sites/accounting service center to understand and research the discrepancies.

Non-physical assets

• Once the ledger clean up is completed (for leasehold/building improvements and software all items that would/could not be physically tagged) they will need to identify the correct person to confirm if the asset still exists or if was disposed of in the past. Once approval is received, they will then coordinate with accounting to write off

• Leasehold Improvements (LHI) All LHI should be associated to an active lease and include the Lease ID# into the asset master record.

• This analysis is key to ensure that all LHI are disposed of when leaving locations and that they are consistently being depreciated to the same lease end date.

• This deliverable will be worked on when the above items have been successfully completed
