Do it here.

What you’ll be doing...

You’ll be working on a variety of core accounting activities such as preparing journal entries, verifying records, balancing accounts and resolving errors. Our financials can get a bit complicated, and we have a few government regulations we’ve got to comply with as well.

• Running models and updating databases.
• Assisting with monthly, quarterly and year-end close activities.
• Reviewing the accuracy of journal entries and accounting classifications.

What we’re looking for...

You’re organized and detail oriented. You can work independently. You’re used to data, and you’ve got a knack for spotting errors. You take a lot of pride in your work, and that’s why people count on you to deliver.

You’ll need to have:

• A Bachelor’s degree or one or more years of work experience.

Even better if you have one or more of the following:

• A degree in Accounting, Finance, or Economics.
• Experience using Microsoft Office (especially Excel), PeopleSoft, or SAP.
• Knowledge of FASB requirements and Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.
• CPA certification (or are in the process of getting certified).

Additionally:
