About The Position

• Experience managing multi-entity, multi-location, or multi-segment businesses.
• Proficiency in QuickBooks Online (and/or Desktop/Enterprise).
• Advanced Microsoft Excel skills (XLOOKUP, INDEX/MATCH, Pivot Tables, Data Tables).
• Experience processing payroll using systems such as Gusto (or similar).
• Experience with U.S. sales tax filings.
• Strong written and verbal English communication skills.

Nice To Haves

• Experience with NetSuite.
• Familiarity with Paylocity or ADP.
• Experience using Ramp or Bill.com.
• Exposure to time-tracking tools such as Clockify.
• Background working in outsourced accounting firms or similar environments.

Responsibilities

• Execute month-end close processes with accuracy and timeliness.
• Prepare and maintain financial reports aligned with client requirements.
• Ensure compliance with accounting standards and reporting timelines.
• Maintain clean and structured workpapers.
• Process payroll accurately using systems such as Gusto or similar platforms.
• Manage employee onboarding within payroll systems.
• Ensure compliance with payroll regulations and documentation.
• Oversee accounts payable and accounts receivable processes.
• Maintain general ledger accuracy across multiple entities.
• Manage day-to-day accounting activities with strong attention to detail.
• Calculate and file U.S. state sales tax accurately and on time.
• Maintain proper documentation for all filings and compliance activities.
• Build and maintain custom reports for business insights.
• Support budgeting and forecasting processes.
• Provide financial analysis and data visualization for decision-making.
• Review and document existing accounting processes.
• Identify inefficiencies and recommend improvements.
• Standardize workflows across clients and systems.
• Communicate regularly with leadership on priorities and deliverables.
• Support client-facing communication when required.
• Ensure alignment on reporting timelines and expectations.
