- Review vendor invoices, company credit-card activity, and employee expenses for accuracy and appropriate documentation.
- Prepare monthly financial reports for management and assist with analyses and process improvements.
- Coordinate information for annual Form 1099 preparation and support external financial statement audits.
- Maintain organized records and follow internal controls, approval requirements, and confidentiality standards.
- Coordinate with vendors and support approved purchasing and other assigned operational needs.
What We're Looking For
- Associate degree or higher in Accounting or a related field.
- Three to five years of experience in an accounting department environment.
- Proficiency in Excel and QuickBooks Online, with the ability to learn banking, payroll, billing, expense, and payment platforms.
- Strong analytical skills, attention to detail, and sound judgment when handling financial information.
- Clear communication and the ability to work independently, collaborate across departments, and manage deadlines.
- An interest in improving processes and developing toward broader accounting leadership responsibilities.
Why Join PBS
- Build broad experience across cash management, close, reporting, and accounting for multiple entities.
