Staff Accountant

Mobiz • Houston, TX

1d • Remote

About The Position

The Staff Accountant owns the recurring transactional accounting and reconciliation work that drives Mobiz’s monthly close, performed end-to-end in Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central. This is an ownership role, not a support role: you prepare and reconcile; you don’t just assist. Mobiz is a global IT consulting and Microsoft licensing firm operating across multiple legal entities and currencies. Revenue and costs are tracked dimensionally — every customer is a department, every engagement is a project code — so accurate coding on every entry is essential to reliable customer and project profitability reporting.

Requirements

• Direct, hands-on experience with Dynamics 365 Business Central is required. You should be able to work independently in: General journals, batch import of journal entries, and posting.
• Bank Account Reconciliation and Payment Reconciliation Journals under Cash Management.
• Dimensions and dimension values — assigning, correcting, and filtering by them.
• Chart of accounts navigation and financial report / account schedule export to Excel.
• Standard financial statements: trial balance, P&L, and balance sheet with dimension filters.
• Bachelor’s degree in Accounting, Finance, or a related field.
• Minimum 4 years of progressive accounting experience, including ownership of month-end close tasks.
• Working knowledge of U.S. GAAP, including revenue recognition for subscription and multi-period contracts, accruals, and deferrals.
• Minimum of 2 years of hands-on Dynamics 365 Business Central experience as described above.
• Demonstrated accuracy under deadline, with the judgment to escalate rather than assume.

Nice To Haves

• Experience in IT services, consulting, software resale, or another project-based business.
• Multi-entity, multi-currency, or intercompany accounting experience.
• Exposure to ServiceNow, Power BI, Power Automate, or Power Query.
• CPA candidate or actively pursuing licensure.

Responsibilities

• Prepare and post the recurring close journal entries: revenue deferrals on multi-month and annual license contracts, expense accruals, prior-month accrual reversals, and prepaid amortization.
• Prepare vendor rebate allocation entries and distribute rebate income to the correct customer departments.
• Code every entry with the full dimension set — department, project, and site — and attach supporting documentation in Business Central before submitting.
• Route all entries to the Controller for approval before posting; maintain the approved-entry archive in SharePoint.
• Track close tasks against the published close calendar and flag at-risk items early. Reducing close cycle time is an explicit goal of this role.
• Reconcile operating bank accounts, corporate credit cards, brokerage accounts, and the line of credit monthly, moving toward a weekly continuous-reconciliation cadence.
• Validate direct bank feeds into Business Central against source statement exports and resolve sync gaps.
• Create correcting entries for unrecorded items — fees, interest, and timing differences — and clear each account to a zero difference before posting.
• Reconcile AR and AP aging to the balance sheet, and reconcile prepaid, accrual, and deferred revenue accounts each month.
• Prepare intercompany cross-charge entries between Mobiz entities on the close schedule, referencing the governing agreement in each entry description.
• Reconcile due-to / due-from balances and resolve imbalances before period close.
• Support foreign-currency transactions and translation at approved rates.
• Own the monthly payroll allocation: pull time data from ServiceNow, run it through the allocation model, and reallocate wages and payroll taxes from administrative accounts to the customer departments and COGS accounts that earned them.
• Validate that total allocated equals total payroll before submitting the entry.
• Maintain separation of billable and non-billable cost so gross margin by customer stays accurate.
• Produce monthly P&L by department and prepare variance analysis comparing the current month to the prior three months, investigating and documenting every variance above 5%.
• Analyze gross margin by customer and surface trends and anomalies to the Controller.
• Validate the reporting package before distribution: active client dimensions, department mappings, zero gross profit on corporate departments, and a balance sheet that nets to zero.
• Assist with budgeting and forecasting by compiling actuals and identifying trends.
• Prepare and file sales and use tax returns; monitor economic nexus thresholds and register in new jurisdictions as they are met.
• Assemble schedules and supporting records for the external CPA firm for federal, state, and local filings.
• Track filing deadlines and maintain the record of submissions and advisor correspondence.
• Provide documentation and reconciliations for audits and due diligence requests.
• Follow established internal controls, approval thresholds, and documentation standards without exception.
• Document procedures and identify automation candidates in Business Central and Power Automate that remove manual steps from the close.
