[Hiring] Staff Accountant @Mobiz

Role Description

The Staff Accountant owns the recurring transactional accounting and reconciliation work that drives Mobiz’s monthly close, performed end-to-end in Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central. This is an ownership role, not a support role: you prepare and reconcile, you don’t just assist.

Mobiz is a global IT consulting and Microsoft licensing firm operating across multiple legal entities and currencies. Revenue and cost are tracked dimensionally — every customer is a department, every engagement a project code — so accurate coding on every entry is what makes customer and project profitability reporting possible.

What You’ll Own

• Month-End Close and Journal Entries:
  • Prepare and post the recurring close journal entries: revenue deferrals on multi-month and annual license contracts, expense accruals, prior-month accrual reversals, and prepaid amortization.
  • Prepare vendor rebate allocation entries and distribute rebate income to the correct customer departments.
  • Code every entry with the full dimension set — department, project, and site — and attach supporting documentation in Business Central before submitting.
  • Route all entries to the Controller for approval before posting; maintain the approved-entry archive in SharePoint.
  • Track close tasks against the published close calendar and flag at-risk items early. Reducing close cycle time is an explicit goal of this role.
• Reconciliations:
  • Reconcile operating bank accounts, corporate credit cards, brokerage accounts, and the line of credit monthly, moving toward a weekly continuous-reconciliation cadence.
  • Validate direct bank feeds into Business Central against source statement exports and resolve sync gaps.
  • Create correcting entries for unrecorded items — fees, interest, and timing differences — and clear each account to a zero difference before posting.
  • Reconcile AR and AP aging to the balance sheet, and reconcile prepaid, accrual, and deferred revenue accounts each month.
• Multi-Entity and Intercompany:
  • Prepare intercompany cross-charge entries between Mobiz entities on the close schedule, referencing the governing agreement in each entry description.
  • Reconcile due-to / due-from balances and resolve imbalances before period close.
  • Support foreign-currency transactions and translation at approved rates.
• Cost Allocation and Customer Profitability:
  • Own the monthly payroll allocation: pull time data from ServiceNow, run it through the allocation model, and reallocate wages and payroll taxes from administrative accounts to the customer departments and COGS accounts that earned them.
  • Validate that total allocated equals total payroll before submitting the entry.
  • Maintain separation of billable and non-billable cost so gross margin by customer stays accurate.
• Reporting and Analysis:
  • Produce monthly P&L by department and prepare variance analysis comparing the current month to the prior three months, investigating and documenting every variance above 5%.
  • Analyze gross margin by customer and surface trends and anomalies to the Controller.
  • Validate the reporting package before distribution: active client dimensions, department mappings, zero gross profit on corporate departments, and a balance sheet that nets to zero.
  • Assist with budgeting and forecasting by compiling actuals and identifying trends.
• Tax and Compliance Support:
  • Prepare and file sales and use tax returns; monitor economic nexus thresholds and register in new jurisdictions as they are met.
  • Assemble schedules and supporting records for the external CPA firm for federal, state, and local filings.
  • Track filing deadlines and maintain the record of submissions and advisor correspondence.
  • Provide documentation and reconciliations for audits and due diligence requests.
• Controls and Continuous Improvement:
  • Follow established internal controls, approval thresholds, and documentation standards without exception.
  • Document procedures and identify automation candidates in Business Central and Power Automate that remove manual steps from the close.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Accounting, Finance, or a related field.
• Minimum 4 years of progressive accounting experience, including ownership of month-end close tasks.
• Working knowledge of U.S. GAAP, including revenue recognition for subscription and multi-period contracts, accruals, and deferrals.
• Minimum of 2 years of hands-on Dynamics 365 Business Central experience as described above.
• Demonstrated accuracy under deadline, with the judgment to escalate rather than assume.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience in IT services, consulting, software resale, or another project-based business.
• Multi-entity, multi-currency, or intercompany accounting experience.
• Exposure to ServiceNow, Power BI, Power Automate, or Power Query.
• CPA candidate or actively pursuing licensure.

Success in the Role

• 30 days: Independently reconcile assigned bank and credit card accounts and post approved recurring entries.
• 60 days: Own payroll allocation and intercompany cross-charge entries end-to-end.
• 90 days: Deliver monthly variance analysis with documented explanations and identify at least one opportunity to improve the close cycle.

Compensation and Benefits

• Competitive salary commensurate with experience, plus a comprehensive benefits package including medical, dental, vision, and retirement.

Employment Type

• Direct, full-time employment with Mobiz IT, Inc.
• Third-party agency submissions are not accepted.
• Mobiz IT, Inc. is an equal opportunity employer.
