The Accountant acts as the regulatory anchor and analytical control agent for Liberty Launch Academy's business operations. Rather than managing daily point-of-sale transactions, this individual performs independent verifications, balances bank accounts, maintains the master general ledger, ensures compliance with accounting principles, and formats monthly financial reports for leadership. Pay Depends on Experience.
Key Responsibilities
- Independent Ledger Reconciliation: Perform rigorous bank, credit card, and digital payment gateway reconciliations to verify that bank statements exactly match internal transactional ledgers.
- The Bursar/Bookkeeper Audit Loop: Weekly, independently trace the records, deposits, petty cash vouchers, and accounts payable approvals generated by the Bursar's office to detect human mistakes or systemic variances.
- General Ledger & Journal Entry Management: Own the structure and integrity of the General Ledger, generating end-of-month adjustment entries, depreciation schedules, and wage allocations.
- Financial Reporting & Compliance: Build accurate monthly cash-flow reports, balance sheets, and budget-vs-actual variance statements for administration and board review.
Qualifications
- Bachelor’s degree in Accounting, Finance, or related business field.
- 3+ years of experience as a corporate or non-profit accountant, with experience in independent bank reconciliation cycles.
- Mastery of general accounting packages (e.g., QuickBooks Online, Sage, or equivalent school ERP tools) with advanced knowledge of spreadsheets.
