• Process electronic and other customer payments and complete related reconciliations.
• Perform general ledger accounting functions and assist with month-end close activities.
• Reconcile financial data, investigate discrepancies, and assist with resolution.
• Download, analyze, and reconcile data from multiple financial and operational systems.
• Maintain and analyze transactional and resource-management data to support billing and financial reporting.
• Assist with project-level financial reporting and contract-related accounting activities.
• Integrate data from operational systems into QuickBooks Online reporting workflows.
• Prepare financial reports, account mappings, and ad hoc analyses as needed.
• Identify and implement opportunities to improve accounting processes and operational efficiency.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree in Accounting, Finance, or a related field preferred.
• 3+ years of accounting experience, preferably within professional services, consulting, project-based, or time-and-materials billing environments.
• Strong experience with billing, invoicing, accounts receivable, and collections.
• Solid understanding of general ledger accounting and financial reporting.
• Strong knowledge of GAAP principles.
• Advanced Excel skills, including pivot tables, lookups, and data analysis.
• Experience with QuickBooks Online required.
• Experience with ERP, accounting, project management, or resource management systems preferred.
