  • Maintain and update financial models with actuals, forecast updates, and scenario assumptions

  • Collaborate directly with the accounting team during monthly and quarterly close

  • Gain hands-on experience in Sage Intacct, including journal entries, accruals, and reporting

  • Review, code and approve vendor bills and credit card transactions in Bill.com in line with budget and vendor contracts including prepaid subscriptions

  • Record and reconcile daily bank activity with Sage Intacct

  • Assist with monthly / quarterly balance sheet account reconciliations

  • Identify opportunities to improve reporting efficiency and data workflows

  • 2–4 years of relevant experience (internships count)

  • Working knowledge of basic accounting concepts (debits/credits, accruals, P&L vs. balance sheet)

  • Strong written and verbal communication skills

  • Structured thinker with an analytical mindset and high attention to detail

Preferred

  • Experience with Sage Intacct or another ERP system
