Perform full-cycle accounting, including transaction coding, bank and credit card reconciliations, and general ledger maintenance.
Prepare and post adjusting journal entries and support month-end close processes.
Prepare and finalize monthly financial statements.
Review work when applicable and ensure accuracy of account classifications and reporting.
Communicate with clients as needed to gather documentation and clarify transactions (initially limited client-facing responsibility).
Utilize QuickBooks Desktop and QuickBooks Online extensively as a power user.
Requirements
5–7 years of accounting/bookkeeping experience, preferably within a tax, public accounting, or client accounting services environment.
Experience working with professional service firms such as legal or medical practices preferred.
Strong understanding of general ledger accounting, reconciliations, adjusting journal entries, and financial statement preparation.
Advanced proficiency in QuickBooks Desktop and QuickBooks Online required (power user level).
