This role reports to the Sr. Director of Finance. Accounting/Billing Analysts should have an associate degree in accounting, or equivalent business experience in accounts payable, accounts receivable and/or accounting.

About You

You’re someone who loves working with numbers, down to however many decimal places. Excel spreadsheets are where you really thrive, taking pride (and even joy) in the organization and presentation of the data within each column and row. You’re a problem solver and thrive on details. You can assess situations, develop recommendations, analyze data, and collaborate. You’re not afraid to ask questions or challenge information.

About Us

We’re a full-service agency with offices in Des Moines, Sioux Falls, and Portland. At the heart of our success has always been human creativity. The role of brilliant individuals, and their original ideas, remains just as relevant today as when we opened our doors 40 years ago. That’s why we continue to take care of our own like we take care of our clients.

Responsibilities

• Process media invoices.
• Download media invoices from vendor portals to upload into our media buying platform.
• Correspond with vendors and internal team members on concerns.
