• Allocate certain AP transactions across projects

Document Management

• Scan, process, and organize documents to ensure proper storage within the network

• Maintain accurate and well-organized digital files

Administrative Support

• Support HR and payroll teams as needed by sharing documentation and information

• Strong critical thinking and problem-solving skills; able to analyze issues and determine next steps

• Self-sufficient and independent once trained

• Open to entry-level candidates with an associate’s degree or more experienced candidates without a degree

• Flexibility and adaptability—this is not a typical AP/AR role and includes cross-functional coordination

Preferred / Nice to Have

• Accounting or related degree

• Entry-level candidates are welcome, though experienced candidates will also be considered

• Exposure to project accounting, WIP, or cost accounting (can be an advantage, but not required)
