  • Manage the recordation and reconciliation of our four state-sponsored train routes.
  • Coordinate and manage the month-end closing process.
  • Maintain chart of accounts and general ledger structure in Microsoft Dynamics 365.
  • Provide ongoing attention to the development and maintenance of internal controls.
  • Assist with the continued development of accounting policies and procedures.
  • Assist with special projects as needed.

Required Education:

  • A bachelor's degree in accounting or a related field from an accredited college/university.

  • Ability to adapt to changing variables effectively with a solutions-oriented mindset.
  • Ability to communicate effectively with diverse groups and individuals.
  • Excellent organizational and time management skills.
