Brilliant Financial Staffing is seeking a detail-oriented and motivated Junior Accountant to support our client’s accounting team, located in Bartlett, IL. The Junior Accountant will assist with day-to-day financial operations. This role is ideal for someone who understands the why behind accounting processes – not just the checklist – and is eager to grow their skills within a company that actively invests in its people. You’ll gain hands-on exposure across core accounting functions while collaborating with cross-functional teams.

Key Responsibilities :

  • Assist in maintaining accurate financial records and ensuring all financial transactions are properly recorded

  • Prepare balance sheet account reconciliations (approximately 25–30 reconciliations per month)
  • Compile financial data to support senior accountants in the preparation of balance sheets, profit & loss statements, and other financial reports
  • Assist with the preparation of journal entries (typically around 30 per month)
  • Support P&L account analysis
  • Assist in preparing audit schedules and confirmations for year-end close
  • Help maintain the Fixed Assets system, including assigning asset numbers and tracking projects (training provided)
  • Assist with ad hoc projects and special assignments as needed
  • Perform other duties as assigned

    Qualifications :

  • Strong attention to detail, because accuracy matters, and you care about getting it right
  • Solid understanding of basic accounting principles, with the ability to explain why processes are performed (not just how)
  • Comfortable working in Excel on a daily basis, including formulas and spreadsheets (stronger Excel skills are a plus; VLOOKUPs and pivots are helpful but not required)
  • Bachelor’s degree in Accounting or related field (nice to have, but not required if experience aligns with the role and compensation range)
  • Experience with JD Edwards or similar ERP systems
  • Manufacturing industry experience
  • Strong communication skills and the ability to work effectively with multiple departments
  • A team-oriented mindset and willingness to take direction
  • Quick learner who can pick up new concepts and processes efficiently
  • Positive attitude with a desire to grow and build a long-term career
