ROLE OVERVIEW

STAFF ACCOUNTANT

A growing services organization in the Fort Worth area is seeking an experienced Staff Accountant to join its accounting and administrative team.

This is a broad, hands-on accounting position for someone who enjoys taking ownership of their work and contributing across multiple areas of the business. The Staff Accountant will support day-to-day accounting operations including accounts receivable, accounts payable, payroll, employee expenses, reconciliations, financial reporting, and month-end activities.

Because this is a small to mid-sized business environment, the role offers significantly more exposure than a narrowly defined accounting position.

The ideal candidate is detail-oriented, dependable, comfortable managing multiple responsibilities, and willing to step into different areas as business needs evolve. This position is particularly well suited for someone who enjoys being close to the business and wants visibility into how accounting connects with operations, employees, customers, and leadership.
