New Haven, Connecticut, United States Vaco by Highspring Full time $70,000 - $85,000 per year

Accounting Analyst Role summary

Our client in the hospitality sector is hiring an accounting-minded analyst to protect card-based revenue integrity across a large, multi-property portfolio (hotels, restaurants, spas, and event venues). You'll review high-volume daily credit card activity, clear system-flagged exceptions, and support reconciliations that tie property systems to the general ledger.

What you'll do

  • Daily transaction review:
    Validate credit card batches from properties/outlets (front desk, F&B, spa, banquets); confirm completeness, correct coding, tips/service charges, and proper business date cut-off.
  • Exception resolution:
    Work a queue of automatically flagged items (duplicates, timing differences, mismatched amounts, gratuity variances); research root cause, correct entries per SOP, and document the audit trail.
  • Reconciliations:
    Assist with daily and month-end tie-outs among PMS/POS, payment gateway/merchant processor reports, bank settlement files, subledgers, and the
    GL
    ; propose/prepare adjusting journal entries where needed.
  • Reporting:
    Produce concise
    daily revenue/exception reports
    for Finance and Property Ops; surface trends by property, outlet, tender type, or shift.
  • Close support:
    Contribute to
    night audit and month-end close
    (accruals, chargeback reserves, fee validation, variance/flux analysis) and ensure reconciliations are completed on schedule.
  • Controls & compliance:
    Uphold internal controls for approvals, documentation, and evidence retention; respond to internal/external audit requests.

Must-haves

  • Foundational accounting skills
    (debits/credits, accruals, reconciliations) with comfort working in a
    GL/ERP
    environment.
  • Meticulous attention to detail
    and sustained focus-reviewing card transactions and spotting red flags throughout the day.
  • Excel proficiency
    (filters, pivots, lookups; basic variance analysis) and disciplined documentation.
  • Clear written and verbal communication to coordinate with property finance and operations.

Nice to have

  • Hospitality systems experience (e.g.,
    PMS
    such as Opera/Cloud PMS;
    POS
    such as MICROS/Toast/Aloha; payment gateways/processors).
  • Exposure to tips/gratuities, service charge handling, chargebacks, and banquet/event folio workflows.
  • Experience with NetSuite, SAP, Oracle, or similar ERP.
