About the Company

Our client is a U.S.-based company that provides an AI-powered revenue management and centralized distribution platform for hotel parking assets, who is seeking to modernize and rebuild its finance operations. They are implementing new SOPs, workflows, and technology-enabled processes. The finance team is small, collaborative, and focused on reducing manual work through automation and AI.

About the Role

We’re looking for an Accountant to take ownership of day-to-day accounting operations while helping improve and rebuild processes. You’ll work closely with the VP of Finance and support a lean finance team as it moves away from manual workflows.

You Will

• Manage day-to-day accounting activities, including accounts receivable and standard accounting processes.

• Learn and operate within newly built SOPs, workflows, and internal systems.

• Help rebuild inefficient accounting processes and reduce manual work through AI and automation.

• Use tools such as Claude or ChatGPT to solve operational and accounting problems efficiently.

• Work with QuickBooks and learn additional tools as needed, including Maxio for subscription billing.

• Handle trust-accounting-style workflows, ensuring funds are accurately tracked, allocated, and recorded.

• Collaborate directly with the VP of Finance and broader internal team.

• Generate and support reporting processes, with opportunities to automate reporting over time.
