  • Maintain and reconcile fixed asset records

  • Prepare account reconciliations in accordance with internal controls and established accounting policies

  • Assist with sales tax reconciliations and filings

  • Work cross-functionally with sales and operational teams to help resolve accounting and transaction-related issues

  • Assist with special projects and additional accounting responsibilities as the organization continues to grow

What We're Looking For

  • Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, or a related field preferred; equivalent relevant experience will also be considered

  • 2+ years of accounting experience, ideally with general ledger and month-end close exposure

  • Experience working within an ERP or larger accounting system

  • Strong Excel skills and comfort working with financial data

  • Solid understanding of account reconciliations and journal entries

  • Strong attention to detail with the ability to manage multiple priorities

  • Analytical and problem-solving mindset

  • Comfortable communicating and collaborating across different departments

Why Consider This Opportunity?

This is an opportunity to join an established organization that continues to grow and invest in its employees. In addition to gaining exposure to several areas of accounting, the role offers the chance to build your skills and potentially take on additional responsibilities over time.

The company offers a strong benefits package that includes:
