Position Overview Fourlane is seeking a detail-oriented Accounting Assistant to verify our software license asset records in Salesforce, enter the amounts our value-added reseller (VAR) vendors bill for each asset, and tie those amounts to the vendor bill and the AP bill recorded in Intuit Enterprise Suite (IES). The core of this role is making sure that what was ordered, what was billed, what is recorded in Salesforce and what AP recorded in IES all agree. This is an entry-level, procedure-driven role within Finance, reporting directly to the Controller. You’ll work day to day with Sales and Orders Operations, AP, the Commissions & Vendor Reconciliation Specialist and the Business Process Automation Engineer. The ideal candidate is highly organized, committed to accuracy and comfortable working through a high volume of records against monthly deadlines.
Why Work at Fourlane At Fourlane, our success is built on two things: the results we deliver for our clients and the growth of our people.

We’re a people-first, fully remote company where collaboration, growth, and purpose are built into the work. At Fourlane, you’re never siloed – by role, industry, or client. You’ll collaborate with a diverse team of experts, work on meaningful projects together, and continuously expand your skills while shaping a career path that’s truly your own.
