Description
Staff Accountant | Grow Your Accounting Career
Looking for more than just AP and AR?
We're partnering with a company that is seeking a Staff Accountant who is eager to learn, take ownership, and grow their accounting career. If you're looking for an opportunity to gain exposure to month-end close, financial reporting, inventory analysis, process improvement projects, and general ledger accounting, this could be the perfect next step.
What You'll Be Doing:
✅ Manage AP, AR, invoicing, cash applications, and vendor payments
✅ Assist with month-end close and account reconciliations
✅ Analyze inventory and general ledger activity
✅ Work directly with customers and vendors to resolve accounting discrepancies
✅ Lead special projects focused on process improvements and efficiencies
✅ Support financial reporting and help maintain accurate accounting records
Why This Opportunity Stands Out:
🌟 Work directly with an experienced Controller who enjoys mentoring and developing talent
🌟 Gain hands-on exposure to the full accounting cycle
🌟 Take ownership of meaningful projects that impact the business
🌟 Opportunity to expand your accounting knowledge and grow professionally
🌟 Manageable workload that allows you to focus on learning—not just processing transactions
Requirements
✔ Understanding of accounting principles and financial processes
✔ Strong attention to detail and organizational skills
✔ A self-starter who is curious, motivated, and eager to learn
✔ Experience with Microsoft Dynamics GP (Great Plains) is a plus
