You don't need a long resume. Up to 4 years of experience is plenty. What matters more is how you think: you dig into problems, catch what others miss and fix things for good.

What you’ll do

• Own the P&L. Track revenue and expenses, spot variances early and tell leadership what's driving them.
• Pay invoices. Review, approve and pay vendor bills accurately and on time.
• Collect receivables. Send invoices, track what's owed and follow up until it's paid.
• Reconcile every transaction. Match bank, card and other accounts, and resolve anything that doesn't line up.
• Produce financial statements. Prepare the monthly, quarterly and annual P&L, balance sheet and cash flow statement.
• Keep the ledger clean. Record and categorize every transaction in QuickBooks.
• Run month-end close. Handle accruals, adjusting entries and the checks that make the numbers final.
• Make it better. Build Excel reports that answer real questions, and tighten processes and controls as we grow.
• Stay audit-ready. Keep records and backup organized for outside accountants and tax filings.

• A degree in accounting, finance or a related field, or equivalent accounting coursework
• 1 to 4 years of bookkeeping or accounting experience

Nice to have

• Experience in freight, logistics or fintech

• Experience running or supporting a month-end close
• QuickBooks ProAdvisor certification or progress toward a CPA

How you work

• You think critically. When a number looks off, you ask why.
• You solve problems. You track down discrepancies and fix the cause, not just the symptom.
• You sweat the details. Accurate to the penny is the standard.
• You stay organized. Payments, collections and close happen on time.
