About the Role
MezTal is looking for a detail-oriented and analytical Accountant – Accounts Receivable & General Ledger to join our team and work directly with one of our U.S.-based clients in the construction and fiber/internet infrastructure industry.
This role combines Accounts Receivable responsibilities with broader General Ledger and accounting activities. The position will support invoicing, customer approval tracking, collections, account reconciliations, month-end close, and other key accounting processes.
We are looking for an accountant with strong accounting fundamentals, not only transactional Accounts Receivable experience. The idóneo candidate understands how operational and project activity connects to invoicing, revenue, the General Ledger, and financial statements.
This person should be comfortable investigating discrepancies, questioning information, identifying the root cause of accounting issues, and working independently to find solutions.
The company is growing quickly and its processes and systems continue to evolve, making this a great opportunity for someone who enjoys a fast-paced environment, process improvement, technology, and problem-solving.

- Perform monthly balance sheet and General Ledger account reconciliations.
- Participate directly in month-end and year-end close activities.
- Review account activity and investigate unusual, incomplete, or incorrect transactions.

- Support revenue recognition and Work in Progress (WIP) accounting.
- Understand and analyze how project activity, invoicing, revenue, and related accounting transactions flow through the General Ledger.
- Ensure transactions are properly recorded and supported according to established accounting policies and U.S. GAAP principles.
- Assist with financial reporting schedules and audit documentation as needed.
Analysis, Problem-Solving & Process Improvement
- Analyze accounting information to identify discrepancies, inconsistencies, and potential errors.
- Investigate issues independently and work with Operations, Finance, and other teams to determine root causes and appropriate solutions.
- Review information received from operational teams and validate that it is complete and accurate before using it for accounting purposes.
- Identify opportunities to improve accounting processes, controls, reporting, and workflows.
- Adapt to evolving processes and help create more efficient and scalable accounting practices.
- Work independently while collaborating closely with U.S.-based accounting, finance, and operational teams.
- Use accounting systems and technology effectively to improve accuracy and efficiency.
- Bachelor’s degree in Accounting, Finance, Business Administration, or a related field.
- Approximately 3–5 years of relevant accounting experience. Candidates with fewer years of experience may also be considered if they demonstrate strong accounting fundamentals and independent problem-solving skills.

- Strong experience working with the General Ledger and month-end close.
