Must Haves

• 2 to 5 years of experience in an accounting or bookkeeping role, preferably with a US based company.
• This associate will be working on bank reconciliations, fixed assets, prepaid expenses, etc. so they should have experience preparing those types of reconciliations in a previous role

Nice to Haves
