Senior Level Accounting Clerk:
A strong accounting clerk with Microsoft Dynamic AX/Dynamics365 Finance & Operations (D365 F&O) experience must bridge foundational clerical accounting with enterprise level ERP proficiency. Because D365 is a highly integrated, multi-entity system, a strong clerk goes beyond simple data entry -they understand how their transactional data flows into the general ledger and affects broader business operations.
The core requirements include:
- Technical ERP Proficiency (AX/D365 F&O)
- Module Competency: Hands-on experience navigating the core financial modules, specifically Account Payable (AP), Accounts Receivable (AR), and Cash and Bank Mgmt.
- Journal & Posting Familiarity: Experience working with vendor invoice journals, non-PO invoices, customer payment journals, and post daily sub-ledger transactions.
- Financial Dimensions: Understanding how Financial Dimensions and account segments are applied to transaction for accurate department or job costing.
- Three-Way Matching: Ability to execute or review invoice matching (matching purchase orders, product receipts, and vendor invoices) within the system.
- Core Accounting and Clerical Skills
- Transactional Accuracy: Strong capability in processing a high volume of transactions (invoice, expense reports, billing) with zero-tolerance for data entry errors.
- Month-End Support: Assisting accountants with period-close routines by ensuring all weekly/monthly transactional journals are fully posted and cleared.
- Discrepancy Resolution: Active problem-solving skills to research and resolve vendor billing discrepancies, price variances or payment issues within the ERP platform.
- Microsoft Ecosystem & Data Management
- Advanced Excel Skills: High proficiency in Excel is critical. Clerks must frequently use the “Open in Excel” / Excel Add-in feature to mass-upload journals or analyze data exported from D365.
- File Management: Comfort with paperless processing, digital document attachments inside D365 records, and EDI.
- Background and Education
- Education: An Associates or Bachelor’s degree in Accounting, Finance, or Business Administration is highly preferred for enterprise-level environments.
- Experience: Typically, 3 years of dedicated accounting experience, with at least 1-2 years utilizing Microsoft Dynamics AX (22012) or D365 F&O in a mid-to-large scall business.
