  • Progressive accounting experience, including hands-on accounts payable, accounts receivable, and purchasing processing; revenue and deferred revenue accounting; and month-end close covering accruals, prepaids, inventory, fixed assets, and debt.
  • Solid understanding of United States generally accepted accounting principles, particularly ASC 606, ASC 842, ASC 330, and ASC 360, as well as financial controls and account reconciliation.
  • Advanced Excel skills, including Power Query, Power Pivot, lookup functions, and dynamic-array functions, and the ability to build auditable, formula-driven models without hardcoded numbers in calculations.
  • Working knowledge of SQL, Python, or Visual Basic for Applications.
  • Experience with QuickBooks Desktop Enterprise or a similar enterprise resource planning system, and with accounts payable automation and expense tools such as Bill.com and Expensify.
  • Demonstrated proficiency with Claude, including Claude Cowork, or comparable enterprise AI assistants for accounting and finance work.
  • Ability to design, run, and maintain AI agents and multi-step workflows for recurring transactional, close, and reporting tasks.
  • Ability to build reusable skills, prompts, and templates so automations are repeatable, documented, and transferable.
  • Familiarity with connecting AI tools to business systems and data, including Excel, SharePoint, OneDrive, Confluence, Jira, enterprise resource planning exports, and connector integrations, using least-privilege access.
  • Ability to write clear, specific instructions that provide context, constraints, examples, and required output format.
  • Ability to break complex processes into discrete, testable steps and decide which steps to automate and which require human judgment.
  • Ability to measure time saved, error rates, and rework, and iterate based on evidence.
  • Ability to review and sign off on every AI-assisted work product and remain accountable for its accuracy and completeness.
  • Ability to independently validate AI outputs by tying figures to source documents and the general ledger, recalculating, performing reasonableness and analytical checks, and sample-testing detail.
  • Ability to recognize AI failure modes, including fabricated figures or citations, misapplied accounting standards, stale or incomplete data, silent formula errors, and overconfident conclusions.
  • Must not rely on AI for a final accounting judgment, estimate, or disclosure without documented support and human review.
  • Ability to document AI-assisted procedures, including inputs, instructions or skills used, outputs, reviewer, and date, so auditors can understand and reperform the work.
  • Ability to design automations with segregation of duties, approval gates, change management, version control, and evidence retention.
  • Understanding that AI-enabled processes may fall within internal control over financial reporting and information technology general controls.
  • Ability to use only company-approved AI tools and accounts and follow the company's AI governance policies.
  • Ability to protect confidential, payroll, customer, and personally identifiable information through data minimization and redaction, and promptly escalate accuracy, bias, security, or misuse concerns.
  • Ability to stay current on AI capabilities relevant to finance and accounting, share knowledge, train colleagues, and contribute to Finance AI governance and automation initiatives.
  • Experience automating accounts payable, accounts receivable, purchasing, or reconciliation workflows, with measurable results in time saved or errors reduced.
  • Experience supervising, training, and reviewing the work of accounts payable or accounts receivable staff.
  • Ability to manage time, meet deadlines, maintain attention to detail, analyze and solve problems, and communicate technical matters to non-finance colleagues in writing and verbally.

Responsibilities

  • Own the monthly close, including accruals, prepaids, journal entries, account reconciliations, flux analysis, and rental revenue accounting.
  • Prepare monthly financial statements and supporting schedules, and resolve reconciling items before close.

  • Prepare debt and equity roll-forwards, analyses, and reconciliations.
  • Own the rental revenue workbook, bringing together the full rental revenue cycle in a single model.
  • Reconcile rental billings, failed payments and voids, and payment processor settlements and fees to cash and to the general ledger.
  • Roll deferred rental revenue forward monthly, tracking beginning balance, billings, revenue recognized, and ending balance.
  • Reconcile rental receivables and deferred revenue to the general ledger, investigate differences, and record adjusting entries.
  • Age deferred revenue by origination and expected earning period, and resolve stale or unsupported items.
  • Apply ASC 606 and ASC 842 to consumer and corporate rentals and prepaid contracts.
  • Maintain the rental revenue workbook's documentation and controls, and automate its refresh and checks where practical.
  • Assign and prioritize the AP and AR clerk's daily work, review and approve the clerk's output, and provide training and feedback.
  • Administer procure-to-pay, including invoice intake and coding guidelines, approval workflows in Bill.com, weekly payment runs, and payment within terms.
  • Maintain the purchase order register and numbering, prepare and issue purchase orders, load approved purchase orders into the accounting system, and support bill-to-purchase-order matching in the approval workflow.
  • Review invoices and expense reports for accuracy, proper general ledger coding, and eligibility for payment; identify duplicates and exceptions.
  • Review the accounts payable aging weekly, reconcile the accounts payable subledger to the general ledger monthly, record month-end accruals, and maintain cutoff.
  • Collect taxpayer identification numbers from vendors and prepare Form 1099 and Form 1096 filings.
  • Complete customer invoicing, including for corporate rental customers, and resolve invoice and account discrepancies.
  • Apply customer payments to open invoices and promptly clear unapplied cash.
  • Administer collections; review the accounts receivable aging weekly; maintain, analyze, and report on aged receivables; resolve customer credit balances; and recommend the allowance for doubtful accounts.
  • Reconcile accounts receivable subledgers and payment processor clearing accounts to the general ledger monthly.
  • Post bank activity in QuickBooks Desktop Enterprise daily; run daily Bill.com and Expensify syncs and resolve sync errors; and maintain vendor and customer master data.
  • Map and baseline recurring workflows in both areas by volume, hours, error rates, and rework, and decide which steps to automate and which should remain with a person.
  • Build, run, and maintain AI agents and workflows with Claude Cowork for transactional and close work, including purchase-order preparation and numbering, bill-to-purchase-order matching, cash application, collection reminders, bank posting and system syncs, reconciliation preparation, rental revenue workbook refresh, and first-draft flux commentary.
  • Fix processes before automating them by standardizing intake, simplifying approval paths, and using system configuration such as bank rules, coding rules, and recurring bills where simpler and more reliable than an agent.
  • Measure monthly results, including time saved, error rates, rework, and exception volumes, and report them to the Senior Manager, Accounting.
  • Design and maintain segregation-of-duties controls over procure-to-pay and cash, including approval gates on purchase-order creation, vendor master changes, and payment release; document each automation's inputs, instructions, outputs, reviewer, and date.
