• Relevant experience performing multiple accounting and administrative functions, preferably within a small or midsize company.
• Strong working knowledge of accounts receivable, accounts payable, account reconciliations, and general journal entries.
• Strong Microsoft Excel skills, including formulas, lookups, pivot tables, and detailed reconciliation workbooks.
