AR / AP Accounting Specialist — Austin — Austin, TX

Both sides of the ledger for a group of behavioral health and recovery companies — patient and insurance receivables on one side, vendor invoices and card reconciliations on the other. The interesting part is the middle: making the billing system and QuickBooks agree, and finding out why when they do not.
