Maintain accurate records in accounting software (QuickBooks, Xero, NetSuite, or similar).
Support tax preparation, audit requests, and compliance documentation.
Handle payroll processing or coordination when needed.

Qualifications:

2+ years of experience in an accounting role (staff accountant, general accountant, or senior accountant).
Solid understanding of GAAP and core accounting principles.
Proficient with QuickBooks (Online or Desktop), Xero, or NetSuite.
Strong Excel / Google Sheets skills (formulas, pivot tables, lookups).
