What We're Looking For
5+ years of progressive accounting/bookkeeping experience, preferably with experience managing the full accounting cycle.

Excellent account reconciliation and problem-solving skills.
High level of accuracy and attention to detail.
Strong organizational and time-management skills.

The Ideal Candidate
The successful candidate will be a hands-on Accounting Manager who understands the details behind the numbers. You should be comfortable working in the general ledger, making journal entries, reconciling accounts, closing the books, and preparing financial statements. This is not a position for someone who wants to simply delegate the accounting work. We are looking for someone who can roll up their sleeves, maintain the books, produce the financials, identify issues, and provide management with a clear understanding of the company's financial position and performance.
