About your role:

As an Accountant in our Alpharetta, GA office, you will support the general ledger and monthly close process for merchant profit centers.

You will collaborate closely with senior accountants and cross-functional partners to resolve issues and continuously improve our close processes.

What you'll do:

• Prepare and post journal entries for the monthly close process, ensuring completeness and accuracy of supporting documentation and financial schedules.

• Analyze monthly trends and month-over-month variances to validate entries and identify accounting issues that require follow-up.

• Prepare balance sheet reconciliations across key accounts, including accrued receivables, deferred costs, accrued payables, and deferred revenue.

• Collaborate with cross-functional partners to obtain necessary information, clarify variances, and support compliance with US Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) and internal accounting policies.

• Support a recurring monthly calendar, including peak workload at the beginning of each month for prior-month close, followed by reconciliation and issue-resolution activities.

• Use Microsoft Excel (including pivot tables and lookup functions) and enterprise resource planning (ERP) tools to compile, analyze, and report financial data.

• Contribute to process improvements that increase the accuracy, timeliness, and efficiency of close and reconciliation activities.

• Responsibilities listed are not intended to be all-inclusive and may be modified as necessary.

Experience you'll need to have:

• 3+ years of experience in general ledger accounting in a corporate environment, including preparing and posting journal entries for month-end close or equivalent combination of education, related experience, and/or military experience.

• Experience preparing balance sheet reconciliations (for example, accrued receivables, deferred costs, accrued payables, and deferred revenue) in an accounting or finance function.

• Experience using Microsoft Excel (including pivot tables and VLOOKUP or XLOOKUP) to analyze, reconcile, and present financial data.

• Experience working with enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems (for example, SAP, Oracle, or NetSuite) or similar financial systems in an accounting context.

• Bachelor’s degree or higher in Accounting, Finance, or a related field or equivalent combination of education, related experience and/or military experience.

Experience that would be great to have:

• Experience with SAP, Frontier, or similar systems for reconciliations and reporting.

• Experience using data or reporting tools such as Microsoft Power BI or similar business intelligence tools.

• Experience supporting merchant services, financial services, or other payments-related businesses.

• Prior experience supporting internal and/or external audits, including preparation of general ledger support, reconciliations, and audit documentation.

• Demonstrated experience working with cross-functional partners, including operations, revenue, and tax partners to resolve complex account variances.

• Progress toward Certified Public Accountant (CPA) licensure or similar professional accounting certification.
