• Cash Management: Manage daily cash accounting activity, oversee cash reconciliations and reporting, monitor cash positions, and provide leadership with accurate daily cash information.
• AP & AR Oversight: Support and oversee accounts payable and receivable processes, including aging reviews, check runs, statement reconciliations, collections, payment processing, and escalated issues.
• Accounting Team Leadership: Provide day‑to‑day direction, review, and mentorship to accounting team members while ensuring deadlines, responsibilities, and accounting standards are consistently met.
• Audit, Compliance & Technical Accounting: Support audits, tax and CPA requests, maintain accounting documentation, and ensure transactions are recorded in accordance with appropriate accounting practices and company requirements.
• Accounting Support & Analysis: Maintain financial schedules and accounting files, prepare ad hoc reporting and analysis, support related entities, and help resolve accounting issues as they arise.

What We’re Looking For

• Bachelor’s degree in Accounting, Finance, or related field
• 5+ years of progressive accounting experience
• Strong knowledge of general ledger accounting, month‑end close, financial statements, and account reconciliations
• Experience with cash management, AP, AR, accruals, and intercompany accounting
• Strong Excel and accounting/ERP system skills
• Experience reviewing work and providing guidance to accounting team members
• Strong attention to detail, organization, and problem‑solving skills
• Ability to manage multiple priorities and consistently meet deadlines

Why Joseph’s?
