General Ledger & Month-End Close

• Process and review vendor invoices, coding, approval routing, and payment runs, and maintain vendor master data.
• Enforce expense, approval-threshold, and documentation policies across all departments, and follow up on exceptions.
• Reconcile corporate card and employee expense activity, and ensure proper period recognition of reimbursed costs.
• Record and reconcile payroll and benefits activity in coordination with the payroll provider and the people function.
• Support 1099 and W-9 compliance, vendor onboarding documentation, and year-end reporting.

Process & Policy Build-Out

• Document accounting procedures, desktop procedures, and close checklists for the general ledger, AP, expense, and reconciliation processes.
• Recommend and help implement automation and process improvements that reduce manual effort and cycle time.
• Help maintain integrations between the ERP and banking and payroll, and monitor them for completeness of data.

Technical Accounting, Audit & Controls

• Assist in researching technical accounting matters and drafting accounting memos for significant vendors, contracts, and transactions.
• Apply revenue recognition, lease, capitalization, and accrual guidance in day-to-day accounting, escalating judgment calls to the Controller.
• Prepare audit-ready workpapers and respond to requests from external auditors, banking partners, and program sponsors.
• Execute and evidence internal controls over the close, reconciliation, and disbursement processes, and identify control gaps.
• Support the preparation of information required for tax filings and regulatory or partner reporting.
