Position Overview
Fourlane is seeking a detail-oriented Accounting Assistant to verify our software license asset records in Salesforce, enter the amounts our value-added reseller (VAR) vendors bill for each asset, and tie those amounts to the vendor bill and the AP bill recorded in Intuit Enterprise Suite (IES). The core of this role is making sure that what was ordered, what was billed, what is recorded in Salesforce and what AP recorded in IES all agree.
This is an entry-level, procedure-driven role within Finance, reporting directly to the Controller. You’ll work day to day with Sales and Orders Operations, AP, the Commissions & Vendor Reconciliation Specialist and the Business Process Automation Engineer. The ideal candidate is highly organized, committed to accuracy and comfortable working through a high volume of records against monthly deadlines.

Why Work at Fourlane
At Fourlane, our success is built on two things: the results we deliver for our clients and the growth of our people. This role is more than day-to-day accounting support – it’s an opportunity to solve real business problems, design smarter systems, and help clients transform how they operate financially.
We’re a people-first, fully remote company where collaboration, growth, and purpose are built into the work. At Fourlane, you’re never siloed – by role, industry, or client. You’ll collaborate with a diverse team of experts, work on meaningful projects together, and continuously expand your skills while shaping a career path that’s truly your own.
What our people are saying:
“What I love most about being at Fourlane is the sense of purpose and collaboration. Every day, I get to contribute to meaningful work with my clients while being surrounded by people who support, inspire, and challenge me to grow. It’s more than just a job – it’s a place where I feel valued.”

What You’ll Actually Work On
Fourlane Accounting Assistants are deeply involved in keeping our financial records accurate, including:

• Asset verification and correction, confirming every product ordered has a correctly set-up Salesforce license asset
• Vendor billing entry and review, recording VAR-billed amounts and catching duplicate, missing or incorrect charges before bills are paid
• Monthly three-way tie-outs, reconciling vendor bills, Salesforce asset records and AP bills in IES
• Records and documentation, keeping vendor bills, order support and workpapers complete and organized

You’ll see the direct impact of your work – and your role will grow as your skills do.

What Our People Are Saying:
“Since joining Fourlane as a QuickBooks Consultant and now a QuickBooks Support Specialist, I have experienced significant professional growth and development, expanding my skill set, taking on increased responsibilities, and contributing to the success of the team and our clients.”

• Escalation : Escalate billing discrepancies to the Controller with supporting documentation attached so they can be addressed with AP before the bill is paid
