- Perform accounts receivable and accounts payable processing and data entry with a high level of accuracy.

- Prepare, reconcile, and remit weekly sales commissions for external channel partners.

- Perform detailed monthly profit and loss analysis for assigned balance sheet and income statement accounts.

- Reconcile and monitor cash balances, including daily bank reconciliations for multiple accounts.

- Review accounting records, financial statements, and other reports to assess accuracy, completeness, and conformance with GAAP and internal reporting standards.

- Investigate and resolve financial discrepancies by collecting and analyzing account information.

- Maintain and improve accounting controls by following existing processes and recommending enhancements where you see inefficiencies or risks.

- Provide backup and support to the Accounting Team with financial reports, state information and tax reporting, regulatory compliance, audits, and other ad‑hoc tasks as needed.

- Protect the organization’s value and our people by maintaining strict confidentiality of all financial and personnel information.

What you bring

- Advanced Excel skills, including lookups and complex formulas.

- Solid knowledge of commonly used concepts, practices, and procedures in accounting and finance.

- Collaborative attitude, flexibility, and eagerness to learn within a team environment.

- International accounting and state tax experience is a plus but not required.
