Your role

Job Description: 

• Accounting Operations includes accounting operations roles involved in overseeing the day-to-day financial transactions with accuracy and in compliance with regulations, accounting principles, and standards.
• Covers cost accounting (allocating and analyzing direct and indirect costs, actual vs. budgeted cost variance analysis, etc.), and budget accounting (developing and monitoring annual revenue/expense budgets to control funds and measure operating results).
• Also covers accounts payable / accounts receivable, billing & invoicing roles.

The administrative stream includes those who primarily support others by performing skilled technical, administrative, or operational tasks. Jobs may range from highly supervised entry-level workers, technicians, and administrative staff to experienced individual contributors with robust technical or practical knowledge in specific areas, who can execute specialized work to support operations. At the top of this career stream, individuals work independently and apply standards, yet can also make departures from established processes to resolve problems. A colleague at this level performs work that is based on routines and any new knowledge is generally acquired through short explanations and simple instructions. Colleagues perform highly specific tasks or tasks of limited scope and responsibility that have well-defined processes and procedures and readily available instructions.
