Job description

Since 1987, PaceButler Corporation has helped businesses across the United States recover value from used cell phones, tablets, and other mobile devices while protecting their data.

Through our Phones for Books mission, our work also helps provide books to organizations in need.

We are a stable, profitable company with a culture centered on a simple vision: Build Great Lives. We believe a business should help its employees grow professionally, financially, physically, mentally, and personally.

We are looking for an experienced accountant who wants more than another accounting position. This is an opportunity to become a key financial leader, work directly with our CEO and leadership team, and help guide the company through its next decade of growth.

The Opportunity

Our accounting department has established a strong foundation of accurate reporting, disciplined cash management, dependable inventory accounting, and timely month-end closes.

The next accountant will be responsible for maintaining those standards while strengthening our financial processes, internal controls, planning, and executive reporting.

This position is ideal for someone who takes ownership, values accuracy, remains calm under pressure, and enjoys solving complex financial and operational problems.

Key Responsibilities

• Produce complete and accurate monthly financial statements.
• Close the books within three to five business days following month-end.
• Oversee general accounting operations and the general ledger.
• Manage cash flow and banking relationships.
• Maintain accurate inventory accounting, controls, and reconciliations.
• Oversee accounts payable, accounts receivable, and payroll.
• Coordinate annual tax work with outside accounting firms.
• Establish and improve internal controls and financial processes.
• Assist with annual budgeting, forecasting, and long-term financial planning.
• Provide financial analysis and reporting to support executive decision-making.
• Identify financial risks, inefficiencies, and opportunities for improvement.
• Ensure accounting deadlines and reporting requirements are consistently met.

Qualifications

We are looking for a proven financial leader with:

• At least four years of progressive accounting and financial management experience.
• A demonstrated history of producing accurate and timely monthly financial statements.
• Strong experience with cash-flow management, budgeting, forecasting, and financial analysis.
• Experience with inventory accounting, inventory controls, and reconciliation.
• Experience managing accounts payable, accounts receivable, payroll, and the general ledger.
• Strong knowledge of accounting software.
• Advanced Microsoft Excel skills.
• Experience establishing and improving accounting processes and internal controls.
• The ability to manage multiple priorities and consistently meet deadlines.
• Excellent written, verbal, and interpersonal communication skills.
• A stable work history and strong professional references.

What Success Looks Like

The right person will be:

• Highly organized and dependable.
• Honest and trustworthy.
• Calm and thoughtful under pressure.
• Detail-oriented while still seeing the bigger picture.
• Comfortable taking ownership of the company's financial reporting.
• Committed to continuous improvement.
• Interested in building a long-term career with the company.

We hire for character first and competence second. Skills can be strengthened, systems can be learned, and experience can be developed, but virtue and integrity must already be present.

We are looking for someone who will protect the accuracy of our financial information, make principled decisions, take ownership when something goes wrong, and earn the trust of our employees and leadership team.

Compensation and Benefits

• $100,000 annual salary.
• Company pays 50% of the employee's health insurance premium.
• One week of paid vacation after 1 year. Two weeks after 2 years.
• Paid holidays.
• Direct access to the CEO and leadership team.
• Opportunity to make a lasting impact on the company.
