In this role, you will partner closely with the Controller and cross-functional teams to strengthen accounting operations, support cash flow planning, improve processes, and help ensure timely, GAAP-compliant reporting in a fast-paced, operations-heavy environment.

Key Responsibilities

• Record and reconcile cash activity, including cash receipts, disbursements, and monthly bank reconciliations.
• Prepare and maintain accurate balance sheet reconciliations, ensuring all general ledger accounts are properly supported.
• Perform expense variance analysis, identify trends, and investigate significant fluctuations.
• Review coding, and post corporate credit card transactions to the general ledger.
• Review, reconcile payroll journal.
• Prepare and maintain monthly accruals, prepaid expenses, and supporting schedules.
• Oversee intercompany transactions and reconciliations, ensuring balances are accurate and resolved timely.
• Ensure taxes, insurance premiums, and other required payments are processed on time to avoid penalties and service interruptions.
• Provide backup support for Accounts Payable and Accounts Receivable functions as needed.
• Assist in the preparation of monthly, quarterly, and annual financial statements.
• Partner with site managers and third-party owners to resolve accounting issues and provide financial support.
• Respond to auditor requests and prepare audit schedules, reconciliations, and supporting documentation.
• Identify and implement process improvements to enhance efficiency, accuracy, and internal controls.
• Monitor accounting activities to ensure compliance with company policies, procedures, and reporting requirements.
• Manage multiple priorities and meet deadlines in a fast-paced environment.
• Perform special projects and other duties as assigned.

Qualifications

• Associate or bachelor’s degree in accounting, finance, or a related field preferred.
• Minimum three (3) years of progressive accounting experience, preferably in operations-heavy or asset-intensive industries such as airports, transportation, infrastructure, or logistics.
• Strong understanding of accounts payable, accounts receivable, subledger-to-general ledger accounting, GAAP, internal controls, and audit support requirements.
• Ability to analyze accounting transactions, identify variances, and deliver accurate financial reporting with strong attention to detail.
• Proficiency with ERP and payment systems such as Yardi and Bill.com; experience with other similar ERP systems is a plus, along with intermediate Excel reporting skills.
• Demonstrated ability to work independently, exercise sound professional judgment, manage multiple priorities, and maintain confidentiality and accountability for financial processes.
• Experience in airport operations, aviation services, regulated environments, private equity-backed companies, or high-growth organizations is a plus.

Additional Requirements

• Must be authorized to work in the United States without sponsorship.
• Must be eligible to travel domestically and internationally, including occasional overnight stays.
