  • Perform month-end and year-end close processes.
  • Prepare and reconcile journal entries, account reconciliations, and financial reports.
  • Support annual audit activities and gather required audit documentation.
  • Assist with capital asset accounting, including tracking capital asset expenditures and related reporting.

  • Capital asset accounting experience highly preferred.
  • Government, city, county, municipal, or public sector accounting experience is strongly preferred.
  • Strong analytical, organizational, and problem-solving skills.

  • System-savvy with the ability to learn new technologies quickly.

What You'll Love About This Opportunity
