- Prepare financial statements, trial balance review, and variance analysis.
Accounts Payable
- Own the full AP cycle: invoice receipt, coding, approval routing, entry, and payment processing.
- 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
- Perform monthly GL reconciliations: bank accounts, investment accounts, accrued interest, prepaid assets, and accrued liabilities.
- 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
Required
- Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, or related field.
- 3 to 5 years of accounting experience including month-end close, journal entries, and GL reconciliations.
- 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
- A seat at the table with visibility into regulatory reporting, audit, and executive leadership.
- Opportunity to build and improve accounting systems and controls.
- Competitive salary and benefits pack
