Overview
We are seeking a detail-oriented, highly organized Accounting Clerk to join our multi-client accounting team. This is an excellent opportunity for a recent accounting graduate looking to begin their career or an experienced bookkeeper who has developed strong accounting skills through hands-on experience.
Because our team provides accounting services to multiple clients across a variety of industries, the ideal candidate must be able to learn quickly, manage multiple priorities, maintain exceptional attention to detail, and work with a strong sense of urgency. We are looking for someone who takes ownership of their work, stays organized without constant oversight, and understands the importance of accuracy and deadlines.
Key Responsibilities
- Process accounts payable, including entering bills, coding expenses, and preparing payments
- Perform accounting and financial data entry accurately and efficiently
- Complete bank and credit card reconciliations
- Assist with accounts receivable and customer invoicing as needed
- Enter and maintain vendor and customer information
- Research and help resolve transaction discrepancies
- Assist with maintaining accurate general ledger records
- Organize and maintain accounting documentation and supporting records
- Assist senior accounting team members with month-end close activities
- Complete routine accounting tasks for multiple clients while meeting established deadlines
- Learn and follow client-specific accounting processes and procedures
- Assist with special projects and other entry-level accounting responsibilities as assigned
- Assist with basic office administrative tasks (managing incoming/outgoing mail, prepare bank deposits, run errands, other administrative duties as assigned)
What We're Looking For
The most important qualifications for this position are not necessarily years of experience—they are accuracy, organization, responsiveness, and the ability to learn quickly.
The ideal candidate will have:
- Exceptional attention to detail and a commitment to producing accurate work
- Strong organizational and time-management skills
- Ability to quickly learn new processes, systems, and client requirements
- A strong sense of urgency and the ability to meet deadlines
- Ability to manage tasks for multiple clients and shift priorities when necessary
- Strong follow-through and a willingness to take ownership of assigned responsibilities
- Ability to identify discrepancies or information that doesn't appear correct rather than simply processing transactions
- Strong problem-solving skills and willingness to ask thoughtful questions
- Professional written and verbal communication skills
- Ability to work both independently and collaboratively as part of a team
- Comfort working in a fast-paced, client-service environment
Education & Experience
We are open to candidates from either of the following backgrounds:
- Recent graduates with a bachelor's or associate degree in Accounting; or
- Experienced bookkeepers/accounting professionals who may not have a college degree but have demonstrated hands-on experience with bookkeeping and accounting functions.
Previous experience with accounts payable, bank reconciliations, bookkeeping, or general accounting is preferred but not required for candidates with relevant accounting education.
Experience with QuickBooks Online and Microsoft Excel is a plus.
What Makes Someone Successful in This Role
Success in this position requires someone who can be given a process, learn it quickly, and then execute it accurately and consistently. Since our team works with multiple clients, priorities can change quickly, and each client may have different systems, deadlines, and procedures.
We're looking for someone who is naturally organized, notices the small details, follows through on commitments, and doesn't allow tasks to sit unnecessarily. The right person will take pride in getting things right and done on time while continuing to build their accounting knowledge and take on greater responsibility over time.
