Job Description
A day in the life You start your morning reviewing the prior day's bank activity, posting and categorizing each transaction to the right general ledger accounts and customers. From there, you prepare recurring and adjusting journal entries—think accruals for commissions, installation labor, subcontractor expenses, and battery allocations—so the books stay precise. Late morning is for revenue integrity: you reconcile the A/R aging, partner with Sales and Operations to follow up on past-due invoices, and verify that revenue is recorded only after completed installations and defined financial triggers in alignment with GAAP. You reclassify deferred or unearned revenue when needed and prepare documentation that supports a clean cutoff and a tight match of revenue to related costs. After lunch, you switch to vendors. You enter and reconcile material invoices, validate job coding, and confirm receipts before approvals. You process payments to subcontractors and service providers while gathering W-9s and confirming 1099 eligibility where applicable. You also reconcile vendor statements and resolve any discrepancies in billing or deliveries, and you support month‑end AP accruals for project‑specific costs. Before wrapping up, you review commission data from internal systems, tie it to job milestones and contract terms, and coordinate with Project Management and Sales Operations to confirm eligibility for both initial and final payouts. Your tracking schedules keep approvals and payment timing clear. You record payroll journal entries and reconcile payroll-related accounts monthly so everything ties back to payroll disbursements. What you'll handle Full-cycle, project-level accounting across GL, AR, AP, payroll, and monthly close Daily bank monitoring; accurate posting and customer/GL categorization
