- Manage vendor relationships, W-9 collection, and annual 1099 reporting.
- Review invoice coding against the chart of accounts and ensure proper classification of prepaid vs. operating expenses.
- Process check runs and wire payments. Maintain the AP aging schedule.
- Resolve vendor discrepancies, duplicate payments, and missing documentation
Reconciliations

- Investigate and resolve reconciling items. Maintain organized documentation for audit support.
- Support quarterly CECL documentation and coordinate with external consultants.
Regulatory and Audit Support
- Support quarterly Call Report preparation with accurate GL-to-schedule mapping.
- Prepare workpapers for the annual PCAOB audit and respond to regulatory examination requests.
Qualifications

- Strong understanding of U.S. GAAP and accrual-basis accounting.
- Advanced Excel skills: formulas, pivot tables, multi-tab workbook design.
- Detail-oriented with a commitment to accuracy and traceability
- Ability to work independently and manage the close calendar.
Preferred
- Experience in banking or financial institution accounting.
- Experience with Call Report preparation or investment accounting
What We Offer
