- Support month-end close and general ledger activities
- Work with large sets of accounting data to identify exceptions and variances
- Utilize Excel to organize, analyze, and reconcile financial information
- Assist with additional accounting projects and operational needs as assigned
Qualifications
- Previous accounting experience required
- Hands-on experience with bank reconciliations, cash reconciliations, and journal entries
- Comfortable handling high-volume transaction activity
- Experience working within an ERP or accounting system
- Intermediate Microsoft Excel skills, including PivotTables and VLOOKUP/XLOOKUP
- Ability to analyze data and identify discrepancies or unusual activity
- Strong attention to detail and accuracy

Nice to Have
