Position Announcement

Join our team as a Treasury Services Accountant III and play a vital role in supporting the financial strength and daily operations of the University. This is an exciting opportunity for an experienced accounting professional who enjoys a fast-paced environment, values precision, and wants to make a meaningful institutional impact.

In this role, you will take the lead on critical treasury functions that keep the University running smoothly - from managing daily cash flow and maintaining liquidity, to overseeing wire transfers, ACH payments, complex reconciliations, investment activity, and banking relationships. You will serve in a highly visible role with broad exposure to university financial operations and will be a trusted partner in ensuring compliance, accuracy, and sound stewardship of institutional resources. You will have the opportunity to work independently, solve complex problems, contribute to year-end financial reporting, and provide guidance and training to interns and colleagues.

If you are looking for a role where your technical accounting skills, treasury knowledge, and attention to detail will be valued - and where your work directly supports the mission of higher education - we encourage you to apply.

Summary of Responsibilities

• Reconciliations & Journal Entries: Perform complex reconciliations of bank accounts, ensuring accuracy and resolving discrepancies. Reconcile investment accounts and maintain accurate records for all purchases, maturities, interest income, and fair value adjustments. Prepare and post monthly journal entries for non-automated transactions and maintain supporting documentation.
• Cash Management & Banking Relations: Oversee daily cash management functions, ensuring timely and accurate processing of ACH payments and domestic and international wire transfers, while monitoring cash positions to maintain adequate liquidity. Serve as the primary liaison with banking partners to resolve issues, implement services, ensure compliance, and optimize treasury products. Conduct daily Wells Fargo portal review, including fraud filter monitoring and Positive Pay exception processing; investigate flagged transactions and make pay/return decisions.
• Year-End Close and Compliance: Support the fiscal year-end close through the preparation of schedules, reconciliations, and journal entries. Support audits by providing documentation, explanations, and process walkthroughs. Ensure compliance with unclaimed property laws, including research, due diligence notifications, and annual filings.
• Leadership and Training: Supervise, train, and mentor an accounting intern, including assigning work, reviewing outputs, and supporting development. Serve as a resource to departments on cash transactions and accounting processes, and to the Investment Committee on treasury and investment-related matters. Participate in the Payment Card Oversight Committee, reviewing new payment systems, assessing risk and compliance, and working with departments to evaluate and implement payment solutions and system enhancements.
