2024 Entry level Outsourced Accounting Staff

Overview

The Outsourced Accounting Staff role is responsible for applying their technical skills and organizing and managing client assignments and projects, including the completion of assignment tasks and project components and meeting client expectations. In particular, you will handle multiple client engagements at any one time, and will perform duties such as preparing and compilation financial statement engagements, full scope general ledger processing including: payables/receivables processing, bank reconciliations, recording bank and credit card activity, vendor inquiries, processing deposits and recording journal entries. Your work will include month end/quarter end closing procedures on multiple clients. Your work will be closely supervised through coaching and training, and you can expect to receive hands-on guidance from the senior, manager, or principal in charge of the engagement. You will receive extensive internal and external training on technical and soft skills, teamwork, and the firm's systems, operations, and relationships.
