Welcome to the Accounting team!
The Accountant’s role, most of the time, is to be the main bookkeeper for an Accordus client. With some exceptions, most of the time the responsibilities for this role include (but is not limited to):
- Reconciling the client bank statements and bookkeeping ledgers
- Managing income and expenditure accounts
- Generating the company’s financial reports
- Filing and remitting taxes and other financial obligations
- Initiating and managing financial and accounting software used by the company
- Working with QuickBooks Online (prior experience preferred)
What is expected of me?
- Check email and Teamwork at least once per day.
- Let your Team Lead know that you can do the task in the time they requested (if you are unable to meet their request, let them know).
- Timely, written communication with your TL.
- Over-communicate with your Department Coordinator about your availability. If you are going on vacation or taking some time off, please communicate this with Hannah and follow our Time Off Policy.
- Clock in using QuickBooks Time when you start work and clock out when you stop, take breaks, or move to a new client’s project. Anytime you step away from your computer, you should clock out. You should have several timesheet entries for each day, rather than one entry that is 4+ hours long.
This role does not require any communication with the client, outside of a stray email or two. All of the work we need you to do can be done on your own time, in your own time zone. We hope that is great news for you! Please add the times you are available to work to your Accordus calendar (saving them as “free” appointments) so that leadership knows when they would be able to reach out to you directly if needed.
Here are a few KEY things you need to know to start off successfully in your role:
- The Accordus phone number (615-392-0585) is used to email verification codes to [email protected]. You already have access to this shared inbox, so you can jump in and grab any verification code needed on your own.
- Some verification codes may go our [email protected] shared inbox as well – you will need to request access to this inbox. Please email [email protected] now to let them know you are a new Accountant on the team and request to be added to the [email protected] shared inbox.
