  • Cross-Functional Collaboration: Act as a trusted financial partner to internal department leaders and external partners, providing clear guidance on compliance, coding, and payment status.
  • Audit & Compliance Readiness: Maintain flawless records, robust internal controls, and precise month-end reconciliations to ensure the organization is always audit-ready.
  • Specialized Specialized Billing Management: Oversee unique, specialized revenue streams including program, residential, and agency-specific billing frameworks.
Core Responsibilities
  • Accounts Payable Mastery: Review, code, and process recurring payments, ACH transactions, and employee reimbursements; prepare check runs and manage vendor master records with strict adherence to internal controls.
  • Proactive Accounts Receivable: Generate accurate monthly statements for external agencies, book complex payments, issue credit adjustments, and deliver exceptional customer service to keep past-due accounts to a minimum.
  • Treasury & Cash Controls: Manage banking deposits (checks, cash, and digital receipts), oversee petty cash and program funding cards, and actively resolve outstanding check discrepancies.
  • Month-End & Reconciliations: Reconcile subledgers to the general ledger, perform bank-to-software reconciliations, and assist with accruals and prepaid expense reviews during month-end close.

Requirements

  • Bachelor’s degree in Accounting, Finance, or Business Administration.
  • Minimum of 3 years of hands-on experience in full-cycle AP/AR or general ledger accounting.
  • Advanced Excel skills (formulas, pivot tables, complex schedules) and deep comfort working within enterprise fund accounting, automated invoicing, and expense management systems.
