Job description

Paslay Group is the premier, full-service consulting firm providing Executive Program Management for complex capital development programs and enterprise-level business advisory strategies to increase revenue, control costs, improve performance, and ensure long-term success. Founded in 2006 by former industry executives, we bring deep expertise and a proven track record of delivering strategic results.

Every number Paslay Group’s leadership acts on starts here - with journal entries posted correctly, reconciliations that hold up under scrutiny, and a close that happens on schedule. As Staff Accountant, that discipline is yours to own. You keep the general ledger clean, catch the variance before it becomes a question, and give the people making decisions something they can trust.

What You Will Lead

• Prepare and post journal entries, accruals, and adjustments, and assist with the month-end, quarter-end, and year-end close.
• Reconcile general ledger accounts, investigate variances before they become surprises, and maintain the supporting schedules behind our financial statements and audit documentation.
• Apply customer payments accurately, monitor aging, work past-due balances and payment discrepancies, and process adjustments, credits, and write-offs.
• Produce aging summaries, collections updates, cash receipt activity, and the management reports that inform budgeting, forecasting, and variance discussions.
• Maintain the desk procedures, documentation, and reconciliation templates for your processes, and improve them when the data tells you something is not working.

What You Bring

• Bachelor’s degree in accounting, finance, business administration, or equivalent hands-on experience.
• Two or more years of accounting experience covering general ledger, reconciliations, and accounts receivable.
• Working knowledge of GAAP, accrual accounting, the monthly close cycle, and basic revenue recognition.
• Intermediate to advanced Excel skills - pivot tables, lookup functions, conditional formulas - and comfort working inside large transaction data sets.
• Hands-on experience with an accounting or ERP platform, with the ability to run, modify, and interpret standard financial reports.
• Sound judgment with confidential financial information, and clear, direct communication across departments.

Physical & Environmental Requirements

While performing this role, you must have ordinary ambulatory skills to move around the office and visit other locations. You should be able to stand, walk, stoop, kneel, crouch, and manipulate light to medium weights (10-50 pounds). Good hand-eye coordination, dexterity, and visual acuity are required for keyboard work and reading technical documentation. You will frequently sit, reach with hands and arms, talk, and listen.
