The opportunity

Picture closing the books two days early; that is the standard American Express sets for its next Accounts Receivable Specialist. The Auburn role is less about the $71,000 - $101,000 and more about what 3 years of Self-Motivation lets you own at American Express.

Key Responsibilities

  • Chase down unreconciled items until the subledger ties to the GL
  • Turn quarter-end into the calmest week of the finance cycle
  • Mentor junior accounting staff and review their work for accuracy
  • Own the full-cycle accounts payable and receivable process
  • Hand leadership a forecast they trust enough to hire against
  • Turn a sprawling spreadsheet into a controlled, auditable workbook
  • Lean on Treasury Management Reporting to automate what used to be manual

What You'll Bring

  • The self-awareness to know which problems are yours to solve
  • The reflex to surface risk before it surfaces itself
  • Working understanding of both Goal Setting and Fixed Assets in real-world settings
  • Meticulous attention to detail across every deliverable
  • The grit to debug at 4pm on a Friday without complaint
  • At least 4 years of standing behind your own estimates

American Express is the entrepreneurial Auburn, AL company that finance insiders recommend but rarely the one that advertises. The deeply-curious pace here is real, but so is the permission to log off and recover.

We answer the money question first with $71,000 - $101,000, then keep going with growth budgets, mentorship, and a flexible part-time schedule.

Right now we are scheduling first-round calls for Auburn, AL-based candidates.

If you're looking for entrepreneurial work that matters, apply to American Express today.
