In keeping with separation of duties, the Staff Accountant does not approve disbursements or releases, does not execute wires, ACHs, or transfers, does not receive or log incoming checks (the front desk does), does not post journal entries to the general ledger, and does not perform the primary bank, operating-system, or general ledger reconciliations (the Senior Accountant does); any light reconciliation of select accounts assigned by the Controller is reviewed by the Senior Accountant. Reporting to the Controller, the Staff Accountant deposits logged checks, posts incoming funds and approved disbursements in the company's operating system, applies customer payments, prepares release schedules and internal transfer requests, prepares recurring partner and investor reporting, and handles customer service and affiliate invoicing.
