About the Client
PromptPeople is hiring for a fast-growing, high-performance services business supporting enterprise clients in the U.S. The company is scaling quickly and needs a finance operator who can take ownership of the day-to-day accounting workflow, keep the books clean, and bring structure to finance operations.
This is a hands-on role. We’re looking for someone plug-and-play who can run end-to-end accounting tasks and keep things organized without constant oversight.
Why This Role Exists
The business needs someone to own finance operations end-to-end: AP, AR, invoicing in QuickBooks, payroll processing support, Excel-based reporting, and monthly close tasks. The goal is to reduce bottlenecks, keep finance predictable, and give leadership clean visibility.
What You’ll Own (Responsibilities)
AP / AR + day-to-day accounting
Own accounts payable and receivable workflows end-to-end
Send invoices from QuickBooks, track collections, and follow up on aging AR
Process vendor bills, manage payments, and keep AP organized and accurate
Maintain clean records and documentation across transactions
Payroll coordination
Support payroll processing (including time adjustments, validations, and accuracy checks)
Maintain payroll-related documentation and ensure inputs are consistent and clean
Monthly reporting + close support
Prepare monthly financial reports for leadership
Support monthly close tasks and ensure books are updated and accurate
Keep reconciliations organized and up to date (bank and key accounts as needed)
Excel operations
Work comfortably in Excel (data cleanup, formatting, transposing datasets, building recurring reports)
Turn messy inputs into usable reporting for finance and leadership
Structure + workflow improvement (light systems)
Create simple checklists, templates, and repeatable workflows to reduce errors
Improve consistency and clarity across finance operations (without needing to “build a full finance org”)

Comfortable running finance workflows inside QuickBooks (invoicing, bills, tracking)

Strong Excel skills (including working with messy datasets; transposing / reporting)
High attention to detail and ability to work independently without babysitting
Excellent English communication (written + verbal)
