What Are Accounting Jobs?

Accounting jobs constitute any role in which you prepare taxes, financial statements, and other official documentation related to financial reporting. As an accountant, you are responsible for ensuring that all records contain accurate information and that you make all tax and other payments in a timely fashion. While many accountants specialize in personal finance, you may be asked to audit a company’s financial records to ensure that the business is running smoothly and efficiently. If you find issues, you report your findings and make recommendations for how to improve company or organizational efficiency. You can also work in financial forensics and search for financial malfeasances, such as tax fraud or embezzlement.

What is the difference between Accounting vs Bookkeeping?

AspectAccountingBookkeeping
Primary RoleAnalyzing financial data, preparing reports, and ensuring complianceRecording financial transactions and maintaining ledgers
Required CredentialsOften requires a degree or certification (e.g., CPA)Typically requires basic education; certifications are optional
Work EnvironmentAccountants may work in offices, firms, or as consultantsBookkeepers usually work in office settings for businesses or accounting firms
Industry UsageUsed across industries for financial analysis and reportingPrimarily used for daily transaction recording

Accounting involves analyzing, interpreting, and reporting financial data, often requiring certifications and higher education. Bookkeeping focuses on recording transactions and maintaining accurate ledgers. While both roles are essential for financial management, accounting provides a broader scope of financial analysis and compliance, whereas bookkeeping is the foundation of accurate financial record-keeping.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive in Accounting, and why are they important?

To thrive in Accounting, you need a thorough understanding of financial principles, accounting standards, and strong analytical skills, typically supported by a degree in accounting or finance. Familiarity with accounting software such as QuickBooks, SAP, or Oracle, and certifications like CPA are commonly required. Attention to detail, organizational skills, and integrity are crucial soft skills for ensuring accuracy and ethical financial reporting. These skills and qualities are vital for maintaining compliance, supporting business decisions, and safeguarding the financial health of organizations.

What is accounting?

Accounting is the process of recording, summarizing, analyzing, and reporting financial transactions for a business or individual. It helps organizations track their income and expenses, ensure compliance with laws and regulations, and provide stakeholders with accurate financial information. Accountants use standardized methods and principles to prepare financial statements, manage budgets, and assist with tax planning. Good accounting practices are essential for making informed business decisions and maintaining financial health.

What are some common challenges accountants face during month-end and year-end closing periods?

Month-end and year-end closing periods can be particularly demanding for accountants due to tight deadlines, high volumes of transactions, and the need for absolute accuracy. During these times, accountants often work closely with other departments to ensure all financial data is complete and reconciled, which may require extended hours and strong organizational skills. Clear communication and effective time management are essential to manage these challenges and maintain the integrity of financial reporting.

Job description


Accounting Supervisor

Who are we?

For more than 30 years, CorePlus has provided Puerto Rico with anatomical pathology laboratory services and clinical analysis with innovation and precision. Our commitment is, to be a leader in the transformation of pathology to the digital world.


In 2020 we deployed our digital pathology platform, being the first organization in Puerto Rico to make the transformation. Known worldwide for operating the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in the diagnosis of prostate and breast cancer, CorePlus stands out for being avant-garde.


If innovation and compassion appeal to you, we invite you to join our mission and become part of our family; we offer excellent benefits including health plan, dental, vision, 401k, paid vacation, and life insurance.


The Position

The Accounting Supervisor leads the day-to-day accounting and purchasing operations of the organization, ensuring accurate financial records, timely closings, strong internal controls, and compliance with applicable accounting standards and Puerto Rico regulatory requirements. The position supervises the accounting and purchasing staff and works closely with the Director of Finance on financial reporting, audit, and process improvement initiatives. This role focuses on review, oversight, and team leadership rather than routine transaction processing.

Responsibilities


    • Supervise, train, and develop the accounting and purchasing staff
    • Supervise daily accounting operations — general ledger, accounts receivable, and accounts payable — and ensure timely and accurate monthly, quarterly, and year-end closings.
    • Review and approve journal entries, reconciliations, and supporting schedules prepared by the accounting staff, investigating and resolving variances.
    • Oversee the preparation of internal financial statements in compliance with GAAP, including the reconciliation of intercompany accounts between affiliated entities.
    • Review budget reports and assist management with budget monitoring.
    • Supervise the purchasing function, ensuring that requisitions and purchase orders are properly authorized, documented, and recorded.
    • Monitor vendor information, pricing, and payment terms, and support the Director of Finance in vendor negotiations and cost-saving initiatives.
    • Assign and prioritize workloads to meet closing, reporting, and payment deadlines.
    • Participate in recruitment, conduct performance evaluations, provide ongoing feedback, and enforce company policies and performance standards.
    • Maintain and monitor internal controls over accounting and purchasing processes, and ensure compliance with company policies, GAAP, and applicable Puerto Rico regulations.
    • Support internal and external audits and prepare requested documentation.
    • Coordinate and support the preparation of corporate tax filings in collaboration with external advisors and the Director of Finance.
    • Recommend and implement improvements to accounting and purchasing processes and procedures, and escalate complex accounting or compliance matters to the Director of Finance.


The Accounting Supervisor is also expected to report any violation of company policies, including but not limited to integrity, conduct, safety, or compliance; attend meetings, training, and activities notified by the company; report any situation that may affect the fulfillment of their duties; and perform other related duties as assigned.


Requirements and Skills

We encourage you to apply even if you do not meet every requirement listed. If you bring most of what we are looking for, we would like to hear from you.

Required

  • B.S. in Accounting or Finance.
  • 2-5 years of progressive accounting experience, including experience leading, reviewing, or coordinating the work of others.
  • Strong knowledge of GAAP and the preparation of financial statements.
  • Proficiency in Microsoft Excel (VLOOKUP/XLOOKUP, pivot tables, charts, and advanced formulas).
  • Proficiency in QuickBooks or comparable accounting software.
  • Experience with Puerto Rico tax and regulatory requirements, including the Departamento de Hacienda SURI platform.
  • Fully bilingual (English/Spanish), written and verbal.
  • Strong leadership, analytical, and problem-solving skills, with high ethical standards and attention to detail.

Preferred (not required)

  • Experience in a multi-entity environment, including intercompany transactions.
  • Working knowledge of the accounts payable and purchasing cycle (requisition, purchase order, receiving, and invoice matching).
  • Experience supervising remote team members.
  • Experience in healthcare, clinical laboratory, or another regulated industry.
  • Experience with QuickBooks Desktop Enterprise or an ERP/purchasing platform.
