Position Overview

The Accountant I supports key financial operations with a strong emphasis on billing, accounts receivable, and subsidy management. This role plays a critical part in ensuring accurate and timely billing, maintaining detailed records, and supporting month-end close and reconciliation activities.

The ideal candidate is systems-oriented, deadline-driven, and comfortable operating independently in a well-structured finance environment. This is not a data-entry-heavy role it’s about monitoring, reconciling, and ensuring accuracy across financial systems.

    • Process and reconcile residential billing
    • Ensure timely and accurate posting of charges and payments
    • Maintain detailed subsidy records and ensure compliance

    • Manage corporate credit card activity
    • Assist with month-end invoices, AP journal entries, and general ledger reconciliations
  • Controller Backup & Contract Billing
    • Provide coverage when the Controller is out
    • Ensure timely and accurate state contract billing
    • Support finance operations as needed to meet critical deadlines
What Success Looks Like

  • Billing and AR deadlines are consistently met
  • Financial systems are well-monitored and reconciled
  • Issues are identified early and resolved proactively
  • The finance team can rely on you as a steady, knowledgeable presence—especially during month-end or coverage periods

What We’re Looking For

  • Bachelor’s degree in Accounting preferred OR 10 years of accounting experience with a strong systems background
  • Prior experience working in modern accounting systems
  • Strong attention to detail with the ability to manage recurring deadlines
  • Comfortable stepping in and taking ownership when leadership coverage is needed
  • Collaborative mindset and interest in long-term growth
