    Description

    The Accounting Associate is a key member of the Finance team, responsible for supporting core financial operations, including accounts payable (AP), accounts receivable (AR), payroll coordination, and expense reporting.

    This role is ideal for someone who is hands-on, detail-oriented, and eager to grow. We're looking for a self-starter - someone who takes initiative, asks thoughtful questions, and is comfortable navigating change.

    The right candidate is not only strong in the fundamentals of accounting, but also open to learning new systems, tools, and ways of working.

    We are committed to moving toward a more modern, digital, and scalable operation. This role offers the opportunity to grow with us through that transition.

    You'll be part of a team working to build more streamlined, tech supported workflows, and your input will help shape who we improve.

    If you're excited by the idea of modernizing accounting practices, enjoy learning new technologies, and thrive in a collaborative, fast-paced setting - this role was built for you.


    Key Responsibilities:
    Accounts Payable (AP)


    • Manage the end-to-end AP process: receive, review, and process vendor invoices for payment.
    • Ensure appropriate account coding and cost center alignment based on chart of accounts.
    • Resolve invoice discrepancies and liaise with vendors as needed.
    • Maintain accurate AP records and support cash flow forecasting.
    Accounts Receivable (AR)


    • Generate and send customer invoices in accordance with contract terms.
    • Monitor outstanding receivables and follow up on aging accounts.
    • Reconcile accounts and ensure proper revenue recognition where applicable.
    • Support month-end AR reporting and audit requests.
    Payroll & Timesheets


    • Coordinate bi-weekly payroll processing in Paylocity or equivalent platform.
    • Validate and track employee timesheet submissions via Unanet or similar.
    • Address discrepancies and coordinate corrections with managers and HR.
    • Maintain compliance with wage, hour, and government contracting requirements
    Expense Reporting


    • Review and process employee expense reports in Concur or Unanet, ensuring receipts, policy compliance, and correct GL coding.
    • Work with employees to resolve issues or reclassify entries as needed.
    • Assist in reconciling corporate credit card activity and travel expenses.
    Reporting & Compliance


    • Assist with month-end and year-end close processes, including journal entries and reconciliations.
    • Prepare regular financial summaries and variance reports for leadership.
    • Support external audits by providing documentation and answering inquiries.
    • Ensure financial activities adhere to internal controls, policies, and government contract requirements.
