Job Description
Overview:
Capitol Broadcasting Company is seeking a full-time Senior Accountant for Corporate Finance and Accounting. The Senior Accountant plays a critical role in the integrity of the general ledger across CBC’s business units - owning treasury and cash reconciliation, payroll and benefits accounting, month-end close support, and the audit deliverables that depend on them.
This individual serves as a key partner to the Assistant Corporate Controller, the Accounting Manager, and BU finance leaders, providing accurate reconciliations, clear account analysis, and the disciplined, repeatable process behind both recurring deliverables and the annual audit cycle.
The ideal candidate will possess strong analytical and process skills and the ability to run recurring close cycles with precision. This role requires a proactive, self-motivated individual who can work independently as well as collaboratively to support the Assistant Corporate Controller, the broader Corporate F&A team, the VP Finance, and the CFO. A builder at heart, this person reaches for AI first - using tools like Claude to automate recurring reconciliations, accelerate account analysis, and build documented, scalable systems that eliminate manual work and elevate the entire Corporate Accounting function’s capacity.
Key Responsibilities and Essential Functions:
Treasury & Cash Management
- Own daily cash management activity - transaction review, coding, and entry across various bank accounts and entities
- Prepare and review monthly bank reconciliations, clearing outstanding and unreconciled items on a defined schedule
- Monitor daily cash positioning and support recurring cash reporting for the Assistant Corporate Controller and VP Finance
Payroll & Benefits Accounting
- Prepare and post journal entries for payroll and payroll-related benefits across all pay cycles and entities
- Reconcile payroll and benefit liability accounts monthly - accrued wages, PTO, employer taxes, insurance, and 401(k) - and resolve variances with [Payroll/HR]
- Review payroll registers for coding accuracy, cost center assignment, and entity allocation
- Maintain the documentation supporting payroll and benefit plan balances for audit
Month-End Close & General Ledger
- Own assigned close tasks and deliver them on the published close calendar
- Prepare monthly accruals, prepaid amortization, and recurring entries, including intercompany allocations
- Perform account analysis and reconciliation on assigned balance sheet accounts, with workpapers that stand on their own
- Analyze month-end fixed asset activity and reconcile the fixed asset subledger to the trial balance on a consolidated basis
- Review transaction detail for coding accuracy and process reclassifications as needed
- Support the FP&A team with variance research and commentary on operating expense accounts
- Provide AR support for various business units - monthly invoicing, payment application, and account follow-up
Audit, Compliance & Continuous Improvement
- Own assigned sections of the annual audit - prepare PBC schedules, respond to requests, and communicate directly with internal and external partners
- Support annual benefit plan audits, including coordination with external stakeholders
- Support monthly tax filings and the related reconciliations as assigned
- Maintain and improve desk procedures for owned processes so they are documented, repeatable, and transferable
- Use Oracle Fusion ERP as the day-to-day system of record and support ERP and Smart View report development
- Prototype and deploy AI-assisted automations across reconciliation, close, and audit prep, turning manual, repetitive work into documented, repeatable systems
- Collaborate with the Assistant Corporate Controller, Accounting Manager, VP Finance, and CFO on various projects as needed
Required Qualifications:
- Bachelor’s degree in Accounting with 150 credit hours completed or in progress, consistent with North Carolina CPA licensure requirements.
- 2-4 years of professional accounting experience, preferably in public accounting/audit.
- Strong technical accounting foundation (GAAP) and advanced Excel skills.
- Demonstrated experience preparing audit support materials and communicating directly with external auditors.
- Strong analytical, organizational, and communication skills; sound judgment, with a willingness to escalate and ask questions as independence develops.
- Experience across multiple clients, industries, or business units, reflecting comfort working in a diversified organization.
- Exposure to fixed asset accounting, treasury/cash processes, or payroll accounting, even if only from an audit/testing perspective.
Preferred Qualifications:
- Prior exposure to ERP systems generally (Oracle Fusion a plus but not required — training provided).
- CPA license or actively pursuing/eligible to sit for the CPA exam, preferred.

Senior Corporate Accountant Jobs in North Carolina: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a senior corporate accountant in North Carolina?
Most paths start with a bachelor's degree in accounting or finance, followed by earning a CPA license through the North Carolina State Board of CPA Examiners, which requires passing the Uniform CPA Exam and meeting North Carolina's education and experience requirements. From there, candidates typically build several years in public accounting or corporate finance before moving into senior roles. Large North Carolina employers in banking, biopharma, and manufacturing strongly prefer or require an active CPA at this level.
How much do senior corporate accountants make in North Carolina?
Senior corporate accountants in North Carolina earn a median of about $82,050 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $53,610 for the lowest 10% to over $146,100 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.
Which companies hire senior corporate accountants in North Carolina?
Employers hiring senior corporate accountants in North Carolina right now include Martin Marietta, TIAA, and Albemarle, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of September 2026. North Carolina's concentration of large financial institutions, research-driven pharmaceutical companies, and industrial manufacturers means steady demand for senior-level accounting talent year-round.
Which North Carolina cities have the most senior corporate accountant jobs?
Charlotte, Raleigh, and North Carolina have the most senior corporate accountant openings in North Carolina. Charlotte dominates because it is one of the largest banking centers in the country, while Raleigh and Durham benefit from the Research Triangle's dense cluster of technology, life sciences, and university-affiliated employers that each maintain substantial corporate finance teams.
Are there remote senior corporate accountant jobs in North Carolina?
Yes, and more than most fields. About 50% of senior corporate accountant openings tied to North Carolina are remote or hybrid as of September 2026, reflecting how well-suited analytical and reporting-focused accounting work is to remote settings. Financial reporting, consolidations, and technical accounting roles are the most likely to offer remote or hybrid arrangements, while positions tied to on-site audits or treasury operations tend to require more in-office presence.
How can I get hired as a senior corporate accountant in North Carolina with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is through a staff accountant or accounting associate role at a large North Carolina employer or regional public accounting firm, where you build the GAAP and close-cycle experience senior roles require. Banks headquartered in Charlotte such as Bank of America and Truist run structured rotational finance programs for new graduates. Pursuing or actively sitting for the CPA exam through the North Carolina State Board of CPA Examiners signals commitment and meaningfully improves hiring prospects even before you pass.
