Description We are looking for a detail-oriented Accounting Clerk to support a short-term Contract assignment in Charlotte, North Carolina.

- Review source documents carefully before submission to help maintain complete and reliable records.

- Use 10-key and keyboard entry skills to process data efficiently within the designated platform.

- Organize and manage a volume of permit documents while keeping work prioritized and up to date.

- Verify entered information against supporting materials and correct discrepancies when identified.

- Support basic accounting record maintenance by ensuring permit data is properly captured for downstream processing. Requirements - Previous experience in data entry, accounting support, or clerical processing roles.

- Strong accuracy and attention to detail when working with repetitive administrative tasks.

- Proficiency with 10-key entry and general keyboarding skills, including typing speed in the 45-60 WPM range.

- Familiarity with accounting-related functions such as accounts payable, accounts receivable, or invoice handling is preferred.

- Ability to learn and navigate user-friendly software platforms with minimal supervision.
