Accountant Job at Beacon Hill Schools in Atlanta

Base pay range

$75,000.00/yr - $100,000.00/yr

About the Company: We are a growing, Georgia-based business, providing early childhood education to families through owner-operated, curriculum-based schools. We offer full-time, year-round programming for children aged six weeks through pre-kindergarten. Our schools are purpose-built, owned by our parent company, and operated by our corporate team and on-site directors.

About the Role: We seek a full-time Accountant to support our growing portfolio of childcare centers. In this role, you will oversee corporate and multi-site accounting functions, including accounts payable, accounts receivable, monthly reconciliation, expense management, general ledger, and full-cycle payroll. You will work with Finance, Operations, and HR leaders to ensure financial accuracy, optimized cash flow, and compliance. This role is critical as our business continues to scale.

Responsibilities

• Accounts Payable (AP): Receive, code, and organize vendor invoices across multiple school locations; verify invoice accuracy, secure necessary approvals, ensure timely payments; manage vendor relationships and cash-flow planning across all centers.
• Accounts Receivable (AR): Record and monitor daily deposits, reconciling to each center’s POS system; generate billing statements, track collections, and follow up on outstanding balances; partner with center directors to resolve discrepancies and improve AR performance.
• Reconciliations & General Ledger: Perform monthly bank reconciliations for multiple accounts across sites; post journal entries (accruals, prepaids, adjustments) and maintain the general ledger; prepare reconciliation summaries and supporting schedules for leadership review; assist in month-end close, annual audit, and tax preparation processes.
• Payroll Processing: Manage multi-site payroll cycle, from timecard auditing to ACH/vendor submissions; work with HR to ensure new hires, terminations, and pay changes are accurate and timely; maintain payroll records, filings, and compliance with state and federal regulations; serve as the primary contact for payroll inquiries across the organization.
• Reporting & Analysis: Track and forecast single-site cash requirements, highlighting variances to leadership; provide insight into center-level financial performance and recommend improvements.

Qualifications

• The ideal candidate will demonstrate a proven ability to manage accounting for a multi-site brand, balancing both corporate and location-level needs.
• Current/past experience working for owner-operated multi-site businesses and/or franchisees with multiple locations (not the franchisor) is strongly preferred.
• Highly organized with exceptional attention to detail and accuracy; ability to multi-task and work as part of a lean team without layers of corporate hierarchy; analytical mindset with the ability to interpret financial data for non-finance stakeholders; skilled in relationship management, with the ability to collaborate effectively with center directors, vendors, and corporate leadership; high level of integrity and discretion in handling sensitive financial information and employee information; comfortable working in a fast-paced, scaling environment.
