Work closely with credit, collections, and other stakeholders to help accelerate cash application and address billing or payment concerns.
Partner with project leaders and departmental management to provide accounting guidance and support business decisions.
Maintain accounting documentation and assemble supporting records needed for internal and external audit requests while helping uphold control requirements.
Produce special analyses and custom reports for leadership, and provide broader accounting assistance as business needs evolve.
Provide coverage for payroll and other accounting duties during team absences to help ensure deadlines are met.
Coordinate with accounts payable on invoice coding and vendor payment follow-through to promote timely and accurate processing.
Bachelor’s degree in Accounting, Finance, or a related discipline.
At least 3 years of accounting experience in a hands-on role.
Strong working knowledge of general ledger accounting, month-end close, journal entries, and account reconciliations.
Advanced proficiency in Microsoft Excel for analysis, reporting, and account support.
Experience with ERP platforms; Oracle experience is preferred, and exposure to consolidation tools such as OneStream is a plus.
Demonstrated analytical and problem-solving ability, with a focus on process improvement and strengthening internal controls.
Effective communication skills and the ability to collaborate across departments and with various levels of leadership.
Ability to travel occasionally, up to 10% as needed.
