What you’ll be doing…

This entry level role, which is part of the Verizon Campus Program, will give you a chance to channel your drive and enthusiasm and learn the practical application of your degree concepts. You will be front and center, hands-on and contributing your creative energy to high-impact projects from the moment you arrive. You will put your degree to use and gain experience in a new field through on the job training.

As part of a dynamic and challenging Accounting organization, you will help some of the world’s biggest enterprises do business smarter. Joining a team that collaborates and provides solutions – you’ll be doing more than just working the numbers. You will be given responsibilities for key components of the financial statement close process, which will allow you to enhance and apply your skills while gaining experience and developing subject matter expertise in a variety of topics. In Accounting, we aim to make life easier for our customers and support our employees.

In this role, you may have the opportunity to:

  • Contribute your ideas and fresh perspective to our continuous process improvement culture.
  • Compare system outputs with daily input verifying for accuracy and resolve discrepancies.
  • Assist in the analysis and interpretation of finance/accounting records for use by management.
  • Define projects, manage research partners, review processes, interpret findings and create action plans based on your findings.
  • Create and maintain financial reports and ad hoc and general ledger queries.
  • Troubleshoot and resolve system and reporting issues.
  • Partner with financial teams during month-end close.
  • Develop the professional skills necessary for success in your career.

What we’re looking for…

You’re a motivated self-starter. Never satisfied with the status quo, you’re always trying to beat a personal best. You thrive in a fast-paced environment where new challenges come up every day. You are flexible, dependable and work well in varying environments. Learning quickly is personally rewarding and inspires you to take smart risks.

You’ll need to have:

  • Current enrollment in a Bachelor’s or Master’s degree program in Accounting, at an accredited college or university with an expected completion date by June 2021.
  • Authorization to work in the U.S. without restrictions or need for future sponsorship.
  • Willingness to work in Lake Mary, FL.

Even better if you have:

  • Demonstrated independent thinking, relationship management and attention to detail.
  • Demonstrated strong analytical, communication, leadership and presentation skills.
  • Experience with the following: data querying and analytics, record reconciliation, SQL.
  • Intent to complete CPA certification (or are in the process of getting certified).

When you join Verizon…

You’ll have the power to go beyond – doing the work that’s transforming how people, businesses and things connect with each other. Not only do we provide the fastest and most reliable network for our customers, but we were first to 5G – a quantum leap in connectivity. Our connected solutions are making communities stronger and enabling energy efficiency. Here, you’ll have the ability to make an impact and create positive change. Whether you think in code, words, pictures or numbers, join our team of the best and brightest. We offer great pay, amazing benefits and opportunity to learn and grow in every role. Together we’ll go far.
