Project Accountant II
Accounting Superstar Needed
Wanted: Number Ninjas!
While others often get the glory, a great person in the background can make or accelerate a company’s success and impact. We understand this. Are you the person willing to do that with us?
Your passion is to support companies in obtaining timely yet accurate numbers. You know more than just bookkeeping – your formal training and extensive experience in accounting has equipped you to deal with Balance Sheets and Income Statements. In fact, you know how to really work and interpret a P&L. What’s more, you actively seek out ways to support a company owner by using operational and management accounting best practices, and providing effective support for clients, suppliers and strategic partners. You’re not afraid to role up your sleeves and do what it takes to get the work done. Plus, you are a straight shooter – you’re not afraid to speak your mind, but you do it respectfully, from your genuine, caring nature.
You don’t stop there – you also have a supportive and collaborative style that shows you know how to support people who support people. Your attention to detail and amazing organizational skills are surpassed only by your incredible ability to anticipate what’s needed, and provide it just when it is called for…whatever it is! In the customer service business, resourcefulness is everything, and you wouldn’t want it any other way.
If you like variety and have the ability to manage conflicting priorities with a positive and optimistic attitude then we have just what you are looking for! Due to the “hands on” operational nature of the work we do with clients, you must be willing to work under changing deadlines (sometimes challenging ones!) and multiple clients on a day-to-day basis.
