- Assisting with audit preparation and ensuring compliance with internal financial policies.
- Managing product program collections, documenting activity in finance systems and eBudde, and collaborating with Community Engagement on complex cases.
- Completing sales tax filings and reconciliations in accordance with NYS requirements.
- Documenting member interactions in Salesforce.
- Supporting year‑end processes, including preparation of W‑2s, 1099s, and other required filings.
What Success Looks Like
- Payroll is processed accurately and on schedule.
- Invoices and vendor payments are completed with precision and timeliness.
- Financial activities comply with internal policies and regulatory requirements.
- Reconciliations are completed consistently, with well‑maintained documentation.
What You Bring
- 3–5 years of payroll experience; familiarity with payroll systems is highly desired.
- At least two years of accounting experience; college‑level accounting coursework is a plus.
- Proficiency in Microsoft Office (especially Excel and Word).
- Strong attention to detail and accuracy.
- Excellent verbal and written communication skills.
- Ability to manage competing priorities independently or collaboratively.
- Effective problem‑solving abilities.
- Willingness to travel to off‑site events.
- Ability to lift 25 lbs.
Who You Are
You are organized, reliable, and committed to accuracy in financial processes. You communicate clearly with staff and vendors, handle deadlines with confidence, and maintain thorough and well‑structured documentation. You bring a service‑oriented mindset to your work and value strong internal controls.
Don't meet every requirement? Studies have shown that women and BIPOC professionals are less likely to apply to jobs unless they meet every single qualification. At GSNENY, we are dedicated to building a diverse, inclusive, and authentic workplace, so if you are excited about this role but your experience doesn't align perfectly, we encourage you to apply. You might be just the right candidate for this or other roles.
