  • 3+ years of accounting experience.
  • 1+ year of supervisory or team-lead experience.
  • Strong GAAP, month-end close, and reconciliation experience.
  • Ability to independently analyze accounts and resolve discrepancies.
  • Experience supporting audits or working in a compliance-driven environment.
  • Nonprofit, HUD, government-funded, healthcare billing, or regulated-industry experience is preferred.
