Accounting Specialist

We're looking for an Accounting Specialist to own the day-to-day financial operations of our company and play a key role in how we bill, forecast, and manage the business.

You'll manage core accounting functions (AP, AR, GL, payroll, reconciliations) while also owning the specialized billing processes unique to the MSP/MSSP model — including managed service billing, project billing, and the coordination between our PSA (ConnectWise) and accounting system (QuickBooks).
