Jr Accountant

What we need: 

We’re looking for a detail-oriented and analytical Junior Accountant who is eager to grow within a dynamic Finance team. This role plays an important part in maintaining the integrity of our financial records and ensuring smooth day-to-day accounting operations.

If you are organized, proactive, and motivated by accuracy and accountability, this is a great opportunity to build your foundation in accounting while gaining exposure to treasury, reconciliations, and month-end processes. You’ll work closely with the Accounting & Treasury Supervisor and collaborate cross-functionally with AP and AR teams to support financial clarity and operational excellence.

This role is ideal for someone early in their accounting career who is curious, dependable, and ready to take ownership of their work while continuing to learn and develop professionally.

 This is a remote role, with the expectation of occasional travel to our New York headquarters as needed.

What People say about You: 

You’re highly organized and dependable, with strong attention to detail. Numbers don’t intimidate you — they energize you. You enjoy reconciling discrepancies and take pride in ensuring everything balances accurately.

You’re analytical and solution-oriented, always looking to understand the “why” behind variances. You communicate clearly and professionally, especially when working with cross-functional teams to resolve issues. People appreciate your reliability, structured approach, and ability to stay focused during month-end deadlines.

You manage your time well, adapt quickly to changing priorities, and are open to feedback as you continue to grow your technical accounting skills.

What you will be doing: 

• Maintain accurate daily cash records by updating and reconciling bank and credit card transactions
• Reconcile deposits and payments, identifying and resolving discrepancies proactively
• Partner with AP and AR teams to obtain remittance and payment details
• Manage end-to-end processing of non-hauler invoices, including payment execution and tracker maintenance
• Prepare and post journal entries to maintain accurate AR and AP aging reports
• Support month-end cash reconciliation processes to ensure clean financial closes
• Assist with financial reporting and ad hoc analysis as needed
• Maintain organized documentation to support audits and compliance
• Continuously look for opportunities to improve reconciliation and reporting processes
