The CED Accounting Department's primary functions are to ensure the accuracy of the company's financial reporting and to support the field (our Profit Centers).
Our tasks or projects generally meet one or more of the department's overall B.A.S.E. objectives: B - Bench-building (employee development) A - Accuracy of the financial statements S - Service to the field E - Efficiency in our tasks
Team members have general accounting tasks such as preparing journal entries, reconciling balance sheet accounts, and reviewing financial statements, as well as acting in a customer service role by researching inquiries from the field or other departments at the Service Center (headquarters). Team members may also be delegated, or asked to contribute to, additional tasks or projects that align with our departments' overall goals and objectives. We foster a collaborative and helpful team environment with opportunities for creative problem-solving and awesome spreadsheets.
Members of the Accounting team are expected to: Adhere to all deadlines and schedules for tasks, and as such, manage their own time. Perform all tasks with high levels of accuracy. Present themselves appropriately and professionally. Work independently or with minimal supervision. Take ownership of all assigned tasks. Identify problems and take initiative toward independent resolution. Ask questions if they do not understand something or want/need more information. Contribute toward team goals as well as completing their individual tasks. Communicate effectively, articulately, and honestly. Focus on the objective, not just the steps to achieve it. Recognize opportunities for process improvements in their work. Provide a positive service experience for all levels of the organization. Sometimes make mistakes. We have high standards, but were still human! (Really, we are human. This was not written by AI. Not yet.)
