Job Description


Join a growing finance team where you'll gain broad accounting experience and with amazing benefits!

If you're looking for an opportunity to build your accounting career beyond repetitive transactional work, this position offers exposure to a variety of accounting functions while working alongside an experienced and collaborative finance team. You'll play an important role in maintaining the accuracy of financial records, supporting monthly close activities, and helping ensure the company's financial operations run smoothly.




What You'll Be Doing

As a Staff Accountant, you'll be involved in both daily accounting activities and larger month-end responsibilities, including:
  • Recording journal entries for items such as cash transactions, accruals, and account reclassifications.
  • Reconciling bank accounts, credit cards, and general ledger balances to ensure financial accuracy.
  • Processing accounts payable by coding invoices, preparing payment runs, and maintaining vendor records.
  • Assisting with accounts receivable activities, including applying customer payments and posting cash receipts.
  • Reviewing employee expense reports for accuracy and policy compliance.
  • Maintaining the integrity of the general ledger and supporting accurate financial reporting.




Month-End & Financial Reporting

You'll be an active contributor during the monthly close process by:
  • Preparing and posting month-end journal entries.
  • Reconciling balance sheet accounts, including accruals, prepaid expenses, and fixed assets.
  • Updating supporting schedules and maintaining organized documentation.
  • Assisting with financial reporting and researching account variances.
  • Ensuring accounting records are complete, accurate, and audit-ready.




Compliance & Continuous Improvement

Additional responsibilities include:
  • Maintaining well-organized accounting documentation and supporting internal controls.
  • Assisting with sales tax or other indirect tax filings.
  • Supporting year-end 1099 reporting.
  • Providing documentation and schedules for internal and external audits.
  • Investigating accounting discrepancies and helping resolve issues.
  • Participating in process improvements, system enhancements, budgeting support, financial analysis, and other special projects as needed.




What We're Looking For
  • Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, or a related discipline.
  • At least two years of accounting experience within a manufacturing environment.
  • Working knowledge of GAAP and general ledger accounting.
  • Experience performing account reconciliations and supporting financial close activities.




Technical Skills

Success in this role includes experience with:
  • ERP accounting systems such as SAP, Oracle, QuickBooks, or comparable software.
  • Microsoft Excel, including formulas, lookups, and pivot tables.
  • Accounts payable or expense management platforms such as Concur or Bill.com (preferred but not required).




You'll Thrive Here If You...
  • Have exceptional attention to detail and take pride in producing accurate work.
  • Enjoy solving problems and analyzing financial information.
  • Can effectively balance multiple priorities while meeting deadlines.
  • Communicate well and enjoy working collaboratively with others.




What Success Looks Like

Performance in this role is measured by your ability to:
  • Consistently support an accurate and timely month-end close.
  • Produce reliable, high-quality financial data.
  • Work efficiently while maintaining strong attention to detail.
  • Follow established accounting procedures and internal controls.




Why This Opportunity Stands Out
  • Work culture of fun, flexibility, but getting the work done!
  • Quarterly Bonuses based on performance and company performance
  • Work remote on Fridays!
  • Flexible start times with an emphasis on results rather than clock-watching.
  • Unlimited PTO that's actually encouraged to support work-life balance.
  • 401(k) with a 100% company match up to 4%.
  • Comprehensive medical, dental, vision, disability, and life insurance benefits.
  • A collaborative, growth-oriented culture where finance is viewed as a true strategic partner—not just a reporting function.
  • Fun employee perks, including company season tickets the Diamondbacks and the Suns.
