    • Add employees and resources to projects based on internal requests
    • Review and monitor project expenses for accuracy and completeness
    • Create and distribute purchase orders (POs) for project-related spend
    • Monitor, manage and respond to requests through a shared team inbox
    • Collaborate with internal stakeholders to ensure timely processing of project-related transactions
    • Follow up on bill payments and inquiries via email; escalate issues to corporate when necessary
    • Assist with invoicing processes after completing onboarding/training in project accounting workflows

    Qualifications
    Required:
    • Basic understanding of generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP)
    • Experience with QuickBooks or similar accounting software
    • Strong attention to detail and ability to manage high-volume, error-sensitive work
    • Ability to multitask and prioritize effectively, especially during peak periods (Mondays & Fridays)
    • Comfortable working in a shared inbox environment with frequent email communication
    • Strong organizational and follow-up skills
    Preferred:
    • Exposure to project accounting concepts
    • Experience with ERP systems (e.g., SAP, P21, or similar)
    • Previous experience supporting multiple projects or stakeholders
    Team & Work Environment
    • Join a team of 4 (this will be the 5th member)
    • Highly collaborative, fast-paced environment
    • Significant training provided on internal systems and project accounting processes
    • Heavy workflow at the start and end of each week—strong time management is key
