Description
Reporting to the Controller, the Temporary Part-Time Accountant is a part-time contract position that supports the daily accounting functions of Mary's Place. The role sits between a staff and senior accountant: alongside transactional work such as accounts payable, deposits and cash receipts, and general ledger entries, the Temporary Part-Time Accountant is expected to independently prepare month-end reconciliations, maintain supporting schedules, and help ensure accurate accounting and record keeping in compliance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP).
