Due to continued growth, Trusteer Financial is expanding our team and is seeking a full-time Junior Accountant to support recurring client accounting workflows. This role is designed for someone who enjoys detail-oriented execution, thrives in deadline-driven environments, and wants to build a strong foundation in outsourced accounting services.

As a Junior Accountant, you will... 

• Process payroll accurately and on schedule, including maintaining payroll support files and coordinating follow-up on payroll questions. 

• Manage day-to-day accounts payable workflows, including vendor bill intake, coding support, payment tracking, and maintaining organized documentation. 

• Manage accounts receivable workflows, including preparing invoices, tracking collections, reconciling incoming payments, and escalating outstanding items when needed. 

• Maintain accurate books and records by posting routine transactions, updating support schedules, and helping keep client files complete and current. 

• Prepare and reconcile bank, credit card, and other balance sheet accounts as assigned. 

• Support the monthly close process by gathering support, preparing schedules, and tracking open accounting items to completion. 

• Coordinate recurring accounting tasks in the project management system and follow up with internal team members on deadlines, dependencies, and missing information. 

• Assist with setup and maintenance of accounting and payroll systems such as QuickBooks Online, Bill.com, Gusto, Deel, Justworks, or similar tools. 

• Maintain organized digital files for payroll, AP, AR, reconciliations, and month-end support documentation. 

• Communicate professionally with clients and internal team members regarding routine requests, open questions, and day-to-day accounting deliverables. 

Here is what you need... 

• Bachelor’s degree or associate degree in accounting, finance, or a related field preferred. 

• 1-3 years of relevant bookkeeping, accounting operations, payroll, or finance support experience. 

• Working knowledge of accounts payable, accounts receivable, payroll, and general ledger processes. 

• Proficiency in QuickBooks Online and Microsoft Excel; familiarity with modern accounting apps is a plus. 

• Strong organizational skills and the ability to manage recurring deadlines across multiple clients or workstreams. 

• Excellent verbal and written communication skills and a consistent, professional approach with clients and coworkers. 

• High attention to detail, strong follow-through, and comfort working within process-driven environments. 

• Ability to learn new software quickly and adapt as client needs evolve. 

Role Design Notes 

This position is intentionally focused on executional accounting work rather than technical accounting leadership. It is the right seat for a junior team member who will own core day-to-day workflows while growing toward broader client accounting responsibilities over time.
