Accounting Specialist

We need to output HTML fragment with headings

for sections present: About the role? The posting includes description, responsibilities, qualifications, benefits, pay, schedule. We must not repeat job title. Use

for section headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Include only sections with real specific content. We need to parse the posting. Content: - Intro about Dairy Queen, IDQ, etc. Could be "About the role" or "About the company"? The instruction: use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we can decide which sections are present. We have: - Job Description: description of role, responsibilities (list of key accountabilities). So we can have a section "Responsibilities" with

• items. - Qualifications: list of qualifications (education, experience, skills). Could be "Qualifications" or "Requirements". We'll use "Qualifications". Also there are skills listed: communication, attention to detail, etc. Could be "Skills". But we can combine into Qualifications. - Pay: "The US national hourly range for this non-exempt position is $28.35-$33.31." So we have Pay section. - Schedule: "Work Environment Most positions located out of our global headquarters in Bloomington, MN will work a hybrid work schedule where you will work 3 collaboration days a week. Additional in office time may be required to support team/project needs." So schedule/hybrid info. So we can have "Schedule" section. - Benefits: "Benefits Additional Information Our benefit package supports the well-being..." So Benefits section. - About the role: maybe a brief overview paragraph before responsibilities. Could be "About the role". We'll include a short paragraph summarizing role purpose. We must not include boilerplate like EEO, inclusion, etc. Remove those. We must preserve all substantive information. So we need to include details from the intro about Dairy Queen? That's company background; maybe not needed for role but it's substantive about company. The instruction: preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. However we can omit cookie/navigation/legal/EEO etc. The company background is not boilerplate; it's substantive about the employer. Should we include? Possibly under "About the role" or a separate "About the company". But headings list only given examples; we could still use "About the role" to include role description; but company background could be placed in a paragraph before responsibilities. The instruction: "Do NOT repeat the job title as a heading (the page already shows it) and do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short

  or drop it." So we can include a short paragraph about the company as part of "About the role" or just a leading

  before any heading. Since we must output only HTML fragment, we can start with a

  containing the company overview, then headings. We must not include duplicated lines. Ensure we capture all responsibilities list items. Let's extract responsibilities from "Key Accountabilities include:" list: - Generate, process, and distribute accurate franchisee invoices in a timely manner. - Assist with ensuring all month-end reporting from franchisees and suppliers is recorded accurately and on time. - Apply customer payments, maintain account balances, and support accounts receivable collections. - Assist with all cash management and treasury functions globally for all bank accounts to ensure all cash transactions are applied in the ledger following IDQ’s established policies and procedures. - Research and resolve billing disputes, payment discrepancies, account variances, and franchisee account inquiries. - Review, code, route, and process vendor invoices with appropriate documentation and approvals. - Execute vendor payments and reconcile vendor statements to ensure timely resolution of discrepancies. - Process employee expense reports and company credit card transactions through Concur. - Maintain accurate customer, vendor, billing, and payment records in accordance with company policies and accounting standards. - Support month-end close, account reconciliations, audit requests, reporting, process improvements, and special projects. - Support cross-functional accounting and finance initiatives as assigned. - Promote a team culture of collaboration, high performance, and continuous improvement that values learning and a commitment to quality. - Other duties as assigned. We'll put each as

• . Qualifications section: list: - Associate's or Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, Business Administration, or a related field; equivalent combination of education and experience considered. - 2-3 years of experience in accounting, accounts payable, accounts receivable, billing, or a related finance function. - Hold the highest standards for accuracy and ethics for yourself but also recognize how to balance accuracy and urgency - Ability to build and maintain mutually beneficial relationships with both internal and external clients - Positive attitude and willingness to develop process improvements - Strong ability to multi-task and prioritize multiple projects and requests simultaneously - Strong communication and customer service skills for working with franchisees, vendors, and internal business partners. - High attention to detail with the ability to review, reconcile, and resolve discrepancies accurately and efficiently. - Proficiency in Microsoft Office, including Excel, Word and PowerPoint - Microsoft D365 or similar experience preferred - Ability to work in a hybrid work environment We could split into Qualifications and Skills, but we can keep as Qualifications. Pay: The US national hourly range for this non-exempt position is $28.35-$33.31. The base hourly range displayed reflects the targeted hiring range for positions across all US locations. Individual pay is determined by job-related skills, work location, and relevant education or experience. We'll put that in

  . Schedule: hybrid schedule: 3 collaboration days a week, additional in-office time may be required. We'll put under

  Schedule

  . Benefits: "Our benefit package supports the well-being of our employees and their families. Our comprehensive benefit package includes, medical, dental, 401K match, paid time off (including volunteer time as well as parental leave) and so much more! To learn more about our great benefit offerings, Click Here." We should keep the substance but remove the "Click Here" link? It's an instruction; maybe we keep the sentence but it's not substantive. We could keep the description of benefits. We'll output a

  with the benefits description, excluding the "Click Here" maybe. But we should preserve all substantive information; the "Click Here" is not substantive; we can drop it. Thus Benefits section:

  Our benefit package supports the well-being of our employees and their families. Our comprehensive benefit package includes medical, dental, 401K match, paid time off (including volunteer time as well as parental leave) and so much more!

  Now About the role: we can include a paragraph summarizing the role: "The Accounting Specialist supports the organization's financial operations by assisting and supporting billing, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and month-end close activities. Working primarily within Microsoft Dynamics 365 (D365), Concur, and Esker, this position is responsible for processing customer and vendor transactions, maintaining accurate financial records, and ensuring the timely execution of accounting processes." This is from the job description paragraph. We'll put that as

  under

  About the role

  maybe. But we also have the company intro paragraph about Dairy Queen. Should we include that? It's substantive about the employer. Could be placed before any heading as a

  . The instruction: "Do NOT repeat the job title as a heading (the page already shows it) and do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short
