Our client, a top global private equity firm, is seeking a Temporary Expense Assistant to provide support with expenses for a 6-month commitment with flexibility to extend. General hours are 9am-6pm with flexibility for overtime as needed. This is a fully remote position. Hourly rate is up to $22/hr.   

What You’ll Do

• Prepare and submit expense reports in Concur for senior executives, starting with New York
• Review receipts (sent by executives/admins or already in Concur), prepare reports for admin review, and make sure each report is complete, coded correctly, and submitted on time
• Follow up if something is missing, while keeping disruption to executives to a minimum

Ways of Working

• Rely on admins or our internal reference materials, not executives, for instructions or missing details
• Some outreach to larger vendors (e.g., hotels) may be needed if receipts are missing
• Treat each piece of admin guidance as a one-time learning and apply it consistently going forward
• Work independently, but flag questions early if you’re unsure
• Build trust by being reliable, accurate, fast, and by solving blockers proactively and creatively

What Success Looks Like

• Expense reports are accurate, timely, and require minimal corrections
• Executives experience no additional burden from the new process
• Admins feel that you are reducing their workload, not adding to it
• You pick up common patterns (expense codes, business purposes) and apply them without repeated guidance
• Over time, the process runs smoothly with less support needed from U.S. admins
