Assist with reconciling bank accounts, credit cards, and balance sheet schedules. Support monthly and quarterly close, including accruals and variance analysis. Help with revenue entries and billing related accounting. Contribute to year end tasks, audits, and special projects as assigned by the Controller.

Preferred Qualifications
Three to five plus years of AP/AR, billing, or accounting experience, ideally within a professional services environment. Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, or a related field. Familiarity with WIP, retainers, utilization, realization, and project based revenue concepts. Experience with client billing portals or automated expense tools. Genuine interest in improving processes and helping a finance team run better. Strong verbal and written communication. Solid organizational and time management skills. A high degree of accuracy and attention to detail, paired with the judgment to handle sensitive financial information with discretion. Comfort managing competing deadlines. Experience with time and billing software such as Office Tools, Canopy, or a CCH/Thomson Reuters practice management system. Working knowledge of QuickBooks Online. Strong Excel skills, including lookups, pivot tables, and reconciliations.
