<p>Chris Preble from Robert Half is working with a Syracuse client of his that has a hybrid accounting/HR role. The HR work is not advanced.

Work life balance is great here and it's a very stable organization.</p><p><br></p><p><strong>Accounting </strong></p><p><br></p><p>General Accounting Support</p><ul><li>Maintain organized financial records</li><li>Assist with fiscal year-end close (October–November)</li><li>Provide support for reporting and special projects as needed</li></ul><p>Accounts Receivable (A/R)</p><ul><li>Apply customer payments accurately and timely</li><li>Process customer credit card payments for orders</li><li>Prepare and distribute daily customer invoices</li><li>Respond to customer email inquiries (invoice copies, payment status, etc.)</li><li>Conduct collections follow-up on past-due accounts</li></ul><p>Accounts Payable (A/P)</p><ul><li>Code and enter vendor invoices</li><li>Process invoices for payment</li><li>Prepare and mail vendor checks weekly</li></ul><p><strong>Human Resources Administrative Support </strong></p><ul><li>Maintain employee files and documentation</li><li>Assist with onboarding paperwork and new hire documentation</li><li>Support benefits administration tasks (forms, updates, enrollments)</li><li>Track PTO and employee records</li><li>Assist with basic payroll coordination (if applicable)</li><li>Maintain confidentiality of sensitive employee information</li></ul>
