Job description

Role overview: The Bookkeeping Specialist - Telecommunications is based in Des Moines, Iowa and supports service activation, network support, and subscriber communications. This position combines hands-on execution with reliable documentation and collaboration across operational and technical teams. Responsibilities: Record transactions, reconcile balances, maintain accounts payable and receivable records, and organize financial support documents. Apply these responsibilities to service activation, network support, and subscriber communications. Work with process owners to account for provisioning dependencies and document changes affecting customers. Identify problems early, record the evidence behind recommendations, and coordinate handoffs so agreed work is completed accurately. ROLE-SPECIFIC RESPONSIBILITIES Maintain accurate financial records for telecommunications operations by coding transactions, reconciling accounts, and organizing supporting documents. Review vendor invoices and customer receipts for completeness and resolve discrepancies with the appropriate teams. Support recurring billing reconciliations, prepaid expense schedules, and month-end close tasks within assigned authority. Maintain clear audit trails and protect financial records. Flag unusual entries or missing approvals before processing. Qualifications: 1+ year of relevant experience or equivalent practical training. Demonstrated capability in bookkeeping software, spreadsheets, transaction coding, and record accuracy. Experience supporting telecommunications is preferred. Ability to document decisions, communicate clearly, and handle business information responsibly. ADDITIONAL QUALIFICATIONS Candidates should be able to explain how they have used bookkeeping software, spreadsheets, transaction coding, and record accuracy in practical work. Relevant experience may come from employment, consulting engagements, apprenticeships, or substantial projects. Bring examples of how you resolved an operational problem, checked the accuracy of your work, and communicated a recommendation to colleagues with different responsibilities. Familiarity with the industry is valuable, and the ability to learn unfamiliar processes and ask precise questions is equally important. FIRST 90 DAYS Learn the chart of accounts and close calendar, complete assigned reconciliations, and reduce unresolved documentation exceptions. During onboarding, review existing documentation, meet the people who depend on this role, and confirm priorities with your manager. Agree on a realistic delivery plan, record dependencies, and share progress regularly. Success will be evaluated through the quality of completed work, reliable follow-through, and improvements to the specific process or service assigned to you. WORKING RELATIONSHIPS Work collaboratively with operational stakeholders and subject-matter experts. Keep decisions, unresolved questions, and handoffs documented so others can continue work without unnecessary delays. Raise conflicting priorities early and propose practical next steps. Maintain confidentiality and use approved systems when handling customer, employee, or business information. Work arrangement: Full-Time, On-site in Des Moines, Iowa. Estimated annual cash compensation: USD 43,000 to 58,500. APPLICATION DETAILS Applications close November 2, 2027. Staffing agency submissions are welcome.
