Junior Accountant | Giles Financial Consulting LLC • Houston, TX Where Strategy Meets Accountability

Giles Financial Consulting LLC is seeking a detail‑oriented and growth‑minded Junior Accountant to support our expanding portfolio of small business and fractional CFO clients.

This is NOT a “just enter transactions” bookkeeping role. We are looking for someone who understands that accounting tells a story — and that clean financials drive business decisions.

The ideal candidate is organized, proactive, comfortable with technology, and willing to learn across multiple industries including retail, construction, professional services, and e‑commerce.

Responsibilities

• Categorize and reconcile bank and credit card transactions
• Assist with monthly close processes
• Maintain organized financial records and supporting documentation
• Review invoices, receipts, and vendor payments for accuracy
• Assist with accounts payable and receivable management
• Match invoices to payments and supporting documentation
• Assist with cleanup projects and reconciliations
• Support preparation of Profit & Loss and Balance Sheet reports
• Maintain accuracy across client financial records

Administrative & Operational Support

• Maintain internal workflow tracking systems
• Communicate professionally with clients when needed
• Support special projects and operational tasks

Qualifications

Required

Preferred

• Experience with Excel / Google Sheets
• Understanding of payroll basics
• Experience working with small businesses
• Associate’s or Bachelor’s in Accounting or Finance
• Experience in a consulting or multi‑client environment

Ideal Candidate

You may be a strong fit if you:

• Catch errors others overlook
• Ask questions instead of guessing
• Can manage deadlines without constant follow‑up
• Understand that accuracy matters
• Want exposure to CFO‑level financial strategy
• Are willing to grow with a fast‑moving consulting firm

This Role Is Not For You If…

• You disappear when tasks get difficult
• You rush through reconciliations without verifying support
• You are uncomfortable learning new systems

At Giles Financial Consulting LLC, we help businesses turn confusion into clarity and strategy into profit. You’ll gain hands‑on exposure to:

• Multi‑industry accounting

This is an opportunity to build real experience beyond traditional bookkeeping.
