Review employee travel and expense (T&E) submissions for compliance with company expense policy. Prepare routine journal entries, including accruals and prepaid amortization.

Organize workpapers and prepared‑by‑client (PBC) items for our first external audit. Maintain organized, accurate accounting records and files. Respond to internal questions about expenses, invoices, and payments. Support the planned migration from QuickBooks Online to NetSuite through data entry, validation, and testing. Help identify opportunities to improve and streamline accounting processes. Qualifications Bachelor’s degree in Accounting, Finance, or a related business field. 0-3 years of accounting experience; strong new graduates are encouraged to apply. Solid grasp of core accounting principles. Strong attention to detail and organizational skills. Fast learner who picks up new systems and processes with minimal hand‑holding. Self‑directed: able to run assigned processes with limited day‑to‑day supervision. Strong time management; consistently meets deadlines. Works well in a collaborative team environment. Proficiency in Excel. Experience with QuickBooks Online, NetSuite, or other accounting software a plus. Experience with AP or expense‑management platforms (e.g., Ramp) a plus. Interest in pursuing a CPA license a plus. Why Us? High‑impact, high‑visibility seat on a lean, experienced accounting team, with broad exposure across the full accounting cycle as the function and the company scale. A passionate team that is proud of our work. Competitive salary and benefits (healthcare, vision, dental, 401(k), and more). #J-18808-Ljbffr Mason & Blair, LLC
