About The Position

FESCO/Bromley is a full-service commercial kitchen equipment repair company seeking a detail-oriented and highly organized Accounting Intern to support various accounting functions. This role offers hands-on experience in a fast-paced service business environment, focusing on tasks such as bank and credit card reconciliations, vendor billing, cost allocations, month-end close activities, and payroll support. The ideal candidate is comfortable managing multiple priorities, working with financial records, and maintaining accuracy.

The Accounting Intern will support the accounting and operations teams with high-volume transactional work, including reconciliations, vendor invoice processing, payment support, cost allocation review, payroll-related documentation, month-end close support, and general accounting support activities.
