Love numbers and helping small businesses succeed?

If you're an experienced Bookkeeper or Accounting Specialist looking for more than just another accounting job, we'd love to meet you.

We're growing our Client Accounting Services (CAS) team and are looking for someone who enjoys solving problems, building relationships with clients, and making a meaningful impact on small businesses every day. You'll join a collaborative team where your ideas are valued, your work is appreciated, and your career has room to grow.

This is an excellent opportunity for someone with 3+ years of bookkeeping or accounting experience who is ready to take the next step. We are also open to considering a Full Charge Bookkeeper with more advanced experience. For the right individual, there is a clear path into a management role within the first six months, with the opportunity to eventually lead the bookkeeping function.

What You'll Do

As a member of our Client Accounting Services team, you'll work with a variety of clients while providing high-quality accounting support, including:

• Comfortable communicating with clients and working as part of a collaborative team

Why You'll Love Working Here

Join a Firm That Invests in You
