Support daily accounting operations across accounts payable, accounts receivable, employee expenses, and the general ledger; review and process vendor invoices, reimbursements, and corporate card transactions for accurate coding, approvals, and policy compliance.
Partner with Student Accounts and Financial Aid to reconcile student-account activity, financial aid receipts, refunds, and returns to accounting records; investigate discrepancies and escalate issues promptly.
Support annual audits, tax-related work, Department of Education reporting, and other compliance workstreams by preparing schedules, gathering documentation, and responding promptly to requests from Finance leadership and external advisors.
Support the QuickBooks-to-Campfire migration through data cleanup, account mapping, reconciliation of converted balances, testing, and documentation of new workflows.
Work across accounting and operational systems, including Campfire, Ramp, Rippling, Carta, and student and payment tools, to maintain reliable data and well-supported reconciliations.
