Accounting Associate at IT Scout

About the Role

We are looking for an Accounting Associate to join the Accounting Department and support key areas of the financial statement close process.

This role will focus primarily on brokerage revenue activities, including transaction review, revenue and expense recognition, account reconciliations, accounts receivable analysis, and support for monthly close procedures.

The ideal candidate is detail-oriented, highly analytical, and curious about understanding how things work. We are looking for someone who does not simply identify issues but takes ownership, investigates root causes, and helps produce practical solutions.

This is a great opportunity for someone with early accounting experience who wants to grow in a dynamic, fast-paced environment with exposure to revenue accounting, financial close, process improvement, and cross-functional collaboration.

What You’ll Do

• Review revenue and expense recognition for brokerage-related transactions.
• Support the monthly financial statement close process.
• Prepare and maintain revenue-related balance sheet account reconciliations.
• Reconcile and investigate outstanding accounts receivable balances.
• Identify discrepancies, investigate root causes, and communicate findings clearly.
• Serve as a point of contact for account discrepancies and transaction-related questions.
• Assist with monthly financial analysis and ad-hoc reporting.
• Evaluate accounting processes, internal controls, and reporting procedures to identify improvement opportunities.
• Support accounting-related projects and process improvements.
• Coordinate with internal and external auditors when needed.
• Partner with cross-functional teams to ensure transaction recording accuracy
