  • Excellent communication and relationship-building abilities
  • Detail-oriented, organized, and able to work independently
  • Prior experience with financial statement preparation and account reconciliations

Accountant Responsibilities

  • Manage day-to-day accounting operations for multiple clients, including AR, AP, and general ledger
  • Prepare monthly and annual financial statements, including income statements, balance sheets, and cash flow statements
  • Reconcile bank accounts and general ledger entries to ensure accurate financial records
  • Assist clients with budgeting, forecasting, and cash flow analysis
  • Provide proactive financial support and respond to client inquiries professionally
  • Participate in month-end and year-end close processes
  • Support process improvement initiatives and ensure compliance with accounting standards
  • Collaborate with team members to deliver consistent, high-quality service
  • Prepare and review business tax returns

Accountant Compensation & Benefits

  • Fully paid health insurance
  • Generous paid time off (PTO) and holiday schedule
  • Annual bonus potential based on performance
