• Collaborate with internal departments to resolve invoice, payment, and reconciliation issues.
• Maintain organized and accurate financial documentation in compliance with company policies and procedures.
  
  

• 2-5 years of hands-on accounting experience with direct ownership of at least one core accounting function, such as Accounts Payable (AP), Accounts Receivable (AR), invoice processing, payment application, reconciliations, collections, or billing.
• Experience performing reconciliations as part of day-to-day accounting responsibilities.
• Bachelor's or Associate's degree in Accounting, Finance, or a related field preferred.

• Proficiency in Microsoft Excel and accounting or ERP software.
• Strong communication skills for collaborating with internal teams, vendors, and customers.
• Ability to work independently, manage multiple priorities, and thrive in a fast-paced environment.
• Candidates should be able to confidently demonstrate the accounting tasks they personally handled on a daily basis and their strength in at least one core accounting function.
