ACCOUNTING SPECIALIST JOB DESCRIPTION

An Accounting Specialist handles the daily transaction layer of a finance department: journal entries post, reconciliations close, and the general ledger stays clean. When that work slips, month-end timelines compress, auditors flag open items, and the financial statements that leadership depends on lose their reliability. This role sits within a corporate accounting team, typically reporting to an Accounting Manager or Controller, and owns a defined slice of the AP, AR, or general ledger function. What makes it demanding is the dual obligation to execute high-volume transactional work accurately while keeping pace with month-end close cycles, GAAP compliance requirements, and internal audit expectations.

As the Accounting Specialist, you will own daily transactional accounting across accounts payable, accounts receivable, and general ledger functions, ensuring every entry, reconciliation, and close deliverable meets GAAP standards and internal control requirements. The role operates within a corporate finance team and collaborates directly with the Controller or Accounting Manager, cross-functional department heads, and external auditors throughout the monthly and annual close calendar.

Career Impact: Consistent ownership of the general ledger and close cycle builds the reconciliation and GAAP fluency that hiring managers look for when selecting candidates for Staff Accountant and Senior Accountant roles.

Business Impact: Every reconciliation this role completes prevents misstatements from reaching the financial statements that executives, auditors, and lenders rely on for accurate reporting.

Growth Opportunity: Exposure to AP, AR, fixed assets, and month-end close within a single seat accelerates the path toward a broader accounting scope, CPA candidacy, or a Controller track at smaller organizations.

• Prepare and post journal entries, including accruals and recurring entries, to maintain accurate general ledger records each close cycle.
• Reconcile bank accounts, credit card statements, and subsidiary ledgers against the general ledger to identify and resolve discrepancies.
• Process vendor invoices by verifying, coding, and routing for approval within established internal control procedures.

• Maintain fixed asset records, including additions, disposals, and depreciation schedules, in compliance with GAAP.
• Audit expense reports and corporate card transactions to verify compliance with company travel and expense policies.
• Collaborate with the Controller and external auditors by preparing requested documentation and schedules during audit cycles.

• Bachelor's degree in accounting, finance, or a related field, or equivalent work experience.
• 2 or more years of accounting experience, with demonstrated competency in journal entries and account reconciliation.
• Working knowledge of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles and their application to transactional accounting.

• Clear written and verbal communication skills for correspondence with vendors, auditors, and internal department contacts.
• Demonstrated ability to work independently on assigned functions while flagging issues to the Controller or Manager promptly.

• Experience preparing or reviewing financial statements, including balance sheets and P&L reports, in a corporate environment.
• Familiarity with enterprise resource planning systems, particularly general ledger and AP modules.
• Exposure to multi-entity accounting, intercompany transactions, or consolidated reporting.
• Progress toward or completion of CPA, CMA, or equivalent professional accounting certification.

• Invoice processing accuracy rate, measuring the percentage of vendor invoices coded and routed without error requiring correction.
• Reconciliation completion rate within the close calendar, tracking on-time delivery of assigned balance sheet reconciliations each month.
• Aged open items count in AP and AR, reflecting how promptly unresolved transactions are investigated and cleared.
• Audit findings attributable to this role's outputs, tracking the volume of items flagged by internal or external auditors.
• Journal entry error rate per close cycle, measuring entries that required reversal or correction after initial posting.
• Typical tools: General ledger and ERP platforms (commonly QuickBooks, SAP FI, or similar); spreadsheet software (commonly Microsoft Excel)

• Base Salary Range: $48,000 to $68,000 per year, depending on experience and location
• Bonus: Discretionary annual bonus, typically 3 to 7 percent of base salary
• Equity: Not typically offered at this level in corporate accounting roles
