Accountant

Specialized Recruiting Group - Edina, MN
Minneapolis, MN Contractor
POSTED ON 5/30/2026
AVAILABLE BEFORE 6/28/2026

If you've got solid data entry skills and you're comfortable in accounting support work, this is a clean summer opportunity with a well-established organization. You'll work in-office with a small, experienced accounting team, support real financial operations, and have the opportunity to learn from a long-tenured Controller. Hours are flexible and built around your summer availability — targeting approximately 24 hours per week through Labor Day 2026. Hourly pay is above market for this type of work.

About the Organization

This is an established Twin Cities-area organization with a seasoned finance team. The accounting department is led by a Controller with over two decades of experience. The team is small, professional, and focused — you won't be lost in a large corporate structure.

The Role

This is a temporary, part-time Accounting Clerk position running through Labor Day 2026. You'll support the accounting team with:

  • Data entry and manual upload of financial transactions into the company's accounting system (PeopleSoft).
  • Running standard financial reports as directed.
  • Reconciliations and journal entry support.
  • Coding and processing check payments once approvals are received.
  • Supporting the team in areas where automated uploads are not yet available.

What You Bring

  • Prior experience in an accounting clerk, accounts payable, or bookkeeping support role.
  • Comfortable with data entry in financial systems (PeopleSoft experience a plus, not required).
  • Strong attention to detail — accuracy matters more than speed.
  • Able to work independently and manage routine tasks with minimal supervision.
  • Available to work in-office in the Twin Cities metro area.

What You Get

  • Hourly pay in the low-to-mid $20s/hr — above market for this type of role.
  • Set schedule with predictable hours.
  • A well-organized team with a clear scope of work.
  • Experience with a large enterprise financial system (PeopleSoft).


To be considered, you must be authorized to work in the United States. This position is not eligible for sponsorship.
