  • Act as a go-to resource for employees on expense processes and tools

Transactional Accounting Support

  • Process vendor invoices and support accounts payable operations
  • Assist with accounts receivable, including tracking payments and following up on outstanding balances
  • Support month-end close with journal entries, bank recs, and balance sheet reconciliations
  • Maintain clean, organized, audit-ready records
  • Ensure accurate data entry and consistency within the general ledger

General Finance Support

  • Respond to internal requests for financial data and documentation
  • Assist with vendor onboarding, W-9 collection, and 1099 preparation
  • Support audit preparation and documentation gathering
  • Contribute to process improvements as the finance function scales
  • Take on ad hoc projects and administrative support tasks


Qualifications

  • Bachelor’s degree in Accounting, Finance, Business, or related field (required)
  • 1–3 years of relevant experience (internships welcome)
  • Strong understanding of basic accounting principles
  • Proficiency in Excel and ability to learn new systems quickly
  • NetSuite experience strongly preferred; T&E platform experience a plus
  • High attention to detail and strong organizational skills
  • Reliable, communicative, and accountable in a team environment
  • Positive, team-first attitude with a willingness to own foundational work
