- Analyze ledger activity and supporting records to ensure transactions are properly authorized and aligned with contractual, regulatory, and policy requirements.
- Maintain subsidiary ledgers and control accounts while tracking activity across a range of funds, accounts, and financial transactions.
- Prepare journal entries, trial balances, reconciliations, and recurring financial reports on monthly, quarterly, and annual cycles.
- Complete bank reconciliations for pooled cash, trust, and other assigned accounts, including recording interest activity and researching outstanding items.
- Compile financial statements, schedules, and supporting reports for internal review and submission to regulatory or oversight agencies.
- Research and calculate assessment-related financial data, ensuring records are properly documented and certified where required.
- Provide day-to-day guidance to accounting and clerical team members and contribute to performance feedback, staff development, and disciplinary recommendations as needed. Requirements
- 5+ years of accounting experience, including work at a senior or advanced operational level.
- Strong expertise in general ledger accounting, account analysis, and monthly financial reporting.
- Demonstrated experience performing bank reconciliations, preparing journal entries, and maintaining subsidiary ledgers.
- Knowledge of financial controls, audit support practices, and compliance requirements tied to contracts and government regulations.
- Ability to interpret financial data, identify discrepancies, and make accurate corrections with minimal supervision.
- Experience leading or training staff and providing functional oversight within an accounting environment.
- Proficiency in preparing financial statements, supporting schedules, and other formal accounting reports.
