  • Support the preparation and processing of journal entries, accruals, and adjustments.
  • Aid in month-end and year-end close activities, including financial reporting tasks.
  • Assist with accounts payable and accounts receivable functions, ensuring transactions are processed accurately and efficiently.
  • Help facilitate external audits by preparing documentation and responding to audit inquiries.
  • Contribute to budget preparation, variance analysis, and the preparation of financial statements.
  • Ensure adherence to internal controls and financial regulations in all accounting activities.

Treasury Support Responsibilities

  • Participate in monitoring daily cash flow and contribute to cash flow forecasting activities.
  • Assist in performing bank reconciliations and maintaining relationships with financial institutions.
  • Support the processing of wire transfers, ACH payments, and intercompany transactions as required.
  • Contribute to the preparation of treasury reports for review by management.
  • Requirements

  • U.S. citizenship and eligibility to obtain a Secret Clearance (successful completion of background and credit checks).
  • Educational background : Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, or a related field.
  • Experience : 1-3 years of accounting experience; exposure to treasury functions is a plus.
  • Sound knowledge of accounting principles, GAAP compliance, and financial reporting.
  • Proficiency in Microsoft Office suite, particularly advanced Excel skills (e.g., pivot tables, VLOOKUP).
  • Strong organizational skills with the ability to prioritize tasks effectively and maintain accuracy.
  • Analytical mindset with keen attention to detail.
  • Previous experience in construction accounting would be advantageous but is not required.
  • Familiarity with Vista by Viewpoint software is beneficial but not essential.
  • This role offers an excellent opportunity for professional growth in both accounting and treasury management within our dynamic organization. If you are enthusiastic about building a career in accounting with exposure to treasury functions, we encourage you to apply.
