ABOUT THE ROLE

Day to day accounting has previously been outsourced to an accounting firm. To support the growing business, an in-house accounting team is being developed, currently including a senior and staff accountant (this role). Initial responsibilities will be focused heavily on the accounts payable (‘AP’) area,but will be expanded as we increase efficiency in AP, creating additional available capacity. The role is local only, requiring at least one trip per week to the corporate headquarters/ warehouse facility to collect and go through mail. Space is available to work at the office if desired, but there is not a requirement of an 8-hour day in the office. This individual should have a strong work ethic and willingness to learn and adapt. Communication skills are critical for this role, as they will be the primary accounts payable team member and will need to communicate appropriately with internal and external parties on a regular basis. The role is well suited for an individual with desire for professional growth and advancement, while operating in a supportive, well-balanced environment. The most important characteristics of the right candidate will be organization, attention to detail, and a demonstrated pride in their work.
