What are the responsibilities and job description for the Accounting Specialist position at YMCA of the USA?
At the YMCA of Greater Birmingham, every reconciled account and on-time payment helps keep our doors open for kids, families, and neighbors across our community. We're for youth development, healthy living, and social responsibility, and our Accounting team is a big part of how that happens.
We're looking for a detail-driven Accounting Specialist to own the vendor side of our books. You'll run accounts payable, vendor relationships, our fleet fuel program, and fixed assets, with a clear set of recurring deadlines that are yours to own.
Why you'll love it here
What You Bring
You have a bachelor's degree in accounting or finance and 1 to 3 years of relevant accounting experience. You're proficient in Excel, you catch the details others miss, and you can juggle multiple deadlines without dropping a ball. You communicate well, build good working relationships, and are just as comfortable working independently as you are on a team.
