Staff Accountant

Summary

Mobiz IT is a global IT consulting and Microsoft licensing firm operating across multiple legal entities and currencies. The Staff Accountant owns recurring transactional accounting, month-end close, reconciliations, intercompany accounting, cost allocation, reporting, tax support, and continuous improvement in Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central.

Responsibilities

• 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
• 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
• 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
• 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
• 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
• 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
• 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
