What We Are Looking For
We are not looking for someone who simply processes transactions. We are looking for someone who can take ownership of the accounting function, keep the books accurate and current, create structure where needed, and provide ownership with reliable financial information.
The right person will be proactive, organized, and comfortable identifying problems and implementing solutions without needing constant direction.
As the company continues to expand, we want someone who is looking for a long-term opportunity and wants to grow with the organization while helping build the financial infrastructure needed to support that growth.
