  • Build reconciliations and audit schedules in Excel using PivotTables and VLOOKUPs

What you bring

  • 4+ years of hands-on government accounting experience

  • Strong GL and subledger reconciliation experience
  • Experience with year-end close, trial balance prep, and external audit support
  • Intermediate Excel skills, including PivotTables and VLOOKUPs
  • Bachelor's degree preferred but not required. Relevant experience is the priority here.
