Accountant

Are you an early-career accounting professional looking for an opportunity to build meaningful, hands-on experience beyond basic bookkeeping? We’re seeking a detail-oriented Accountant I to take ownership of accounts receivable and deposit activities while gaining valuable experience in financial reporting, account adjustments, and large-scale healthcare finance programs. This position is located in Topeka, KS and works onsite Monday through Friday during standard business hours, with some flexibility around daily start and end times. If you enjoy working with numbers, are confident in Excel, and want an opportunity to grow your accounting career while taking ownership of an important financial function, this could be an excellent next step.

You’ll process and track financial activity ranging from routine daily transactions to significant electronic payments while supporting accounting work that contributes to federal Medicaid and CHIP reporting. Whether you have early professional accounting experience, an accounts receivable background with solid accounting fundamentals, or accounting/finance education and are ready to launch your career, this role offers the opportunity to develop a broad accounting skill set.

Key Responsibilities

• 
  Manage accounts receivable and deposit activities, including reviewing incoming checks and electronic payments, identifying appropriate accounting treatment, creating deposits, and accurately recording financial activity.
• 
  Maintain detailed financial records using spreadsheets, databases, imaging systems, and accounting software while reconciling and tracking payment and deposit information.
• 
  Assist with entry-level accounting activities including monthly adjustments, financial record maintenance, journal-related support, and other accounting processes that contribute to accurate financial reporting.
• 
  Support the preparation and submission of quarterly federal Medicaid and CHIP reports while maintaining accurate supporting documentation and financial records.

Qualifications

• 
  One year of professional accounting, accounts receivable, auditing, or closely related financial experience; relevant accounting or finance education may substitute for experience.
• 
  Strong Excel skills with the ability to confidently work within spreadsheets, formulas, financial tracking tools, and structured accounting templates.
• 
  Solid understanding of basic accounting principles with the aptitude to accurately process deposits, financial transactions, adjustments, and supporting documentation.
• Strong attention to detail, organization, and numerical accuracy with the ability to independently manage deadlines and handle high-value financial transactions responsibly.

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

This isn't a traditional data-entry accounts receivable position. You'll own an important financial function while gaining broader accounting experience in monthly adjustments, financial reporting, and large-scale healthcare programs. You'll have the opportunity to learn from experienced accounting professionals, develop your technical skills, and position yourself for continued growth in accounting and finance.

If you're comfortable with numbers and Excel, take pride in getting the details right, and are ready to build a strong foundation for your accounting career, apply today—we'd love to talk with you about the opportunity.
