This is an onsite role in their office off I-75 near Northside Drive, Monday–Friday, 8:30 AM–4:30 PM.

This is a small, professional office that values discretion, courtesy, and a strong work ethic. The team is close‑knit, and the company values character and integrity as much as technical skill. The role offers direct exposure to multi‑entity accounting and investment activity, with close mentorship from the Controller. It's a strong fit for someone who wants to deepen their accounting skills and build a long‑term career with one company. Several team members have been with the firm 15 years or more.

• Maintain cash logs and monitor cash activity across entities.

General Ledger & Accounting

• Prepare and post journal entries and maintain the general ledger for multiple entities.
• Record and categorize income, expenses, deposits, and investment transactions.
• Maintain organized, accurate, and confidential records and supporting documentation.
• Support the Controller with month‑end close and special projects.

Accounts Payable & Accounts Receivable

• Review invoices for accuracy and proper coding, then process payments and issue checks.
• Prepare and send invoices, and follow up on outstanding balances.
• Record incoming payments and deposits accurately in the accounting system.

• Prepare schedules and supporting documentation for management and outside tax preparers.
• Support year‑end activities and annual 1099 reporting.

WHO WE'RE LOOKING FOR

• Hands‑on experience performing high‑volume bank and/or brokerage reconciliations. This is required.

• Strong Excel skills and comfort with accounting software.
• Someone who enjoys detailed, recurring work and takes real pride in accuracy.
• A polished, professional communication style.
• Highly organized, dependable, and discreet with confidential information.
• Bachelor's or Associate's degree in Accounting or Finance preferred.
