Entry Level Staff Accountant – Fun / Unique Industry – Omaha, NE – HEMPHILL EXCLUSIVE!

Join a tight-knit team of accounting & finance professionals as you gain exposure to the “entire picture” as you learn from an experienced & wonderful group of leaders & jump start your career. This is a terrific opportunity for an early-career accountant / individual who wants more than a narrow set of responsibilities - in this position you will take on meaningful work, build your technical skill set, and will be involved in numerous season specific projects that will allow you to understand the business and see first hand how an excellent accounting team can really help a business thrive. The company is profitable, stable, well-established, and continues to grow organically and strategically.

This position will give you the tools to build a strong foundation of understanding, while also allowing you to flex your critical thinking as you’re intentionally involved in challenging stretch assignments that will be sure to accelerate your learning and development!You don’t need years of experience to be successful here - instead we are searching for someone with the right attitude, a willingness to learn, and the desire to be successful!

In this position, you will take on a wide array of duties including:

• Monthly journal entries, account reconciliations, accruals, and other monthly close activities.
• Dive into post-close analysis to help explain the “why” behind the numbers. This will be a HUGE part of helping you connect the dots between financial performance and business outcomes. This piece of the position will help you not just report the numbers, but understand why they’re important and what they mean for the business.
• Learn just how important financial reporting is - you will take part in closing the books and then creating useful reports that help the leadership team make better decisions while running the company!
• Work closely with a team of Staff & Senior Accountants while taking on seasonal and unique one-off projects involving fixed asset monitoring, capital expenditure projects, forecasting, and process improvement focused on better leveraging technology.

Enjoy excellent benefits, a kind, honest, and inviting culture, and a refreshing office environment free of egos or drama. This mid-sized business is large enough to offer stability and complexity, but small enough to give you the opportunity to see the whole accounting process. This will be an excellent position & organization to start your career, learn from truly awesome leadership, work alongside other staff & senior accountants, all while learning what you’re truly great at and positioning yourself for future promotions!
