• Assist with Accounts Receivable (AR) reconciliations and billing support.

• Help ensure accounting entries comply with company policy and accounting standards.

Process Execution & Analysis

• Perform account reconciliations and assist with month-end and quarter-end close activities.

• Validate data accuracy across multiple systems (Workday, Snowflake, etc.).

• Support Finance analysts and project teams with data gathering, cleanup, and transaction testing.

Transformation & Continuous Improvement

• Participate in system enhancement and testing efforts (e.g., UAT for new features or process changes).

• Document standard operating procedures (SOPs) and identify opportunities for process improvements.

• Provide administrative and transactional support during high-volume periods or project go-lives.

About You

• Must be bilingual in English & Spanish.

Other Qualifications:

Our Approach to Flexible Work
 

With Flex Work, we’re combining the best of both worlds: in-person time and remote. Our approach enables our teams to deepen connections, maintain a strong community, and do their best work. We know that flexibility can take shape in many ways, so rather than a number of required days in-office each week, we simply spend at least half (50%) of our time each quarter in the office or in the field with our customers, prospects, and partners (depending on role). This means you'll have the freedom to create a flexible schedule that caters to your business, team, and personal needs, while being intentional to make the most of time spent together. Those in our remote "home office" roles also have the opportunity to come together in our offices for important moments that matter.
