Accounting Supervisor

Wildbirch Hotel Anchorage, Alaska
Compensation: $22 $25 per hour
Schedule: 3240 hours per week


Position Overview

The Accounting Supervisor plays a key role in supporting the financial operations of the Wildbirch Hotel, ensuring accuracy, organization, and consistency across all accounting functions. Working closely with the Director of Finance, this position helps maintain the financial integrity of the property through daily reconciliations, timely processing of accounts, and adherence to standard accounting procedures.

This role is ideal for an individual who is highly organized, detail-oriented, and enjoys maintaining order in financial systems. Hotel accounting experience is strongly preferred but not required for the right candidate with a solid accounting foundation and a passion for hospitality.


Key Responsibilities

  • Perform daily bank reconciliations, ensuring all deposits, withdrawals, and transactions are accurately recorded.
  • Manage Accounts Payable (AP): verify invoices, code expenses, obtain approvals, and prepare payments in a timely manner.
  • Manage Accounts Receivable (AR): post payments, monitor balances, and ensure timely collections and follow-up.
  • Support the Director of Finance with daily accounting processes, month-end closing, and special projects.
  • Maintain accurate and organized financial records and digital filing systems.
  • Assist in the preparation and reconciliation of balance sheet accounts and journal entries.
  • Support inventory audits, revenue verification, and expense tracking procedures.
  • Communicate professionally with vendors, department heads, and corporate contacts regarding invoices, discrepancies, or payment status.
  • Ensure compliance with established accounting policies, procedures, and internal controls.
  • Contribute to team efforts during financial audits, providing documentation and clarification as needed.
  • Provide occasional administrative support to the Finance Office, such as compiling reports and assisting with budgets or forecasts.
  • Maintain confidentiality of sensitive financial information at all times.

Qualifications

  • Minimum 2 years of accounting or bookkeeping experience (hospitality experience preferred).
  • Strong understanding of accounting principles, AP/AR processes, and reconciliations.
  • Proficiency in Microsoft Excel and basic accounting systems (knowledge of hotel systems such as M3 and Opera is a plus).
  • Excellent organizational and time management skills.
  • Strong attention to detail and accuracy.
  • Ability to work both independently and collaboratively in a fast-paced environment.
  • Strong communication skills and professional demeanor.
