Our client’s team is seeking an AWESOME Staff Accountant who will mesh well with their team and clients. They are a fun team to work with, but they need the perfect fit for them and their clients. 

Does the following describe you?

• People understand what I'm saying via phone and email.
• I never let little details slip through the cracks.
• I could be part of the team because I'm a professional task juggler.
• I always keep a full to-do list of what needs to be done and prioritize appropriately.
• I love digging into a problem and figuring things out!
• I'm willing to do whatever task is needed of me.
• I like the family feeling of a small team.
• I don't tell secrets - confidential info should remain confidential.
• I'm self-proclaimed AWESOME.

Why is this an AMAZING opportunity?

• You will learn a TON! You will learn lots of accounting, as well as operations and different business models and industries.
• You will work very closely with your assigned small business clients and be a key resource for them.
• They have long-term relationships with their clients so it is very rewarding when you see them succeed as a result of what you do.
• You get to meet each month via video conference with entrepreneurs who are trying to change the world!
• You’ll have a career path for you to grow and be promoted as soon as you're ready.
• Flex-time so you can work from home periodically.

Responsibilities

This will be a client-facing role, so you must love interacting with people! You'll eventually be assigned up to four clients that you'll work with on a daily & weekly basis. Here's what you'll be doing (basically everything):

• Enter and maintain all accounts receivable - aka show me the money!
• Enter and code accounts payable and credit card transactions - control spending the money.
• Process payroll to keep happy employees.
• Perform bank reconciliations so everything is captured.
• Reconcile and maintain balance sheet accounts so the balance sheet doesn't become a black hole of unknown balances.
• Work with your manager on the client's budget and cash flow.
• Prepare monthly financial packets with assistance from a manager and present the packet to your clients - they will love you for this.
• Maintain organized digital files - a messy Dropbox is a messy employee.

Experience

• Understanding of accounting principles and practices (duh...)
• 3+ years of previous accounting experience.
• Proficiency in QuickBooks and/or Netsuite
• Proficiency in Excel.
