Business & Accounting Advisor

Overview

Located in Chico, CA, Morrison seeks an innovative accounting professional to join our advisory team; the successful candidate will join us in supporting our clients with Interim/Outsource accounting and related business advisory assistance. A strong accounting skillset is required but direct experience with all aspects of our services is not; we provide mentoring and both internal training and external continuing professional education.

Our hiring approach can be summed up as “Hire talent, teach knowledge.”

An accounting degree is required, CPA or CMA a plus, though we are not a CPA firm. Instead, our Business & Accounting Advisory service line directly assists clients with a variety of accounting and related business issues. Unlike many professional service firms, travel is minimal. Much of our work is remote.

• Contribute to or lead engagements in the areas of accounting and related business advisory services, e.g., interim or outsourced controller or CFO functions; special projects; other outsourced accounting and finance assistance.
• Innovative and persistent pursuit of client business objectives.
• Serve as the “face of the firm” for our clients, helping to develop and maintain close and trusting business relationships.

• Bachelor’s degree or higher in accounting. CPA or CMA preferred.
• Four years’ relevant experience required, six or more years preferred. Combination of CPA firm and private enterprise or nonprofit organization experience preferred.
• Strong teamwork orientation and an entrepreneurial, forward-looking mindset are critical.
• Food industry, nonprofit, agricultural, CPG, processing, and/or manufacturing industry experience a plus but not required.
• Professional-level Microsoft Office skills, particularly Excel and Word.
• Experience with common business software platforms (e.g., Navision, Sage, Famous, SAP, Quick Books, etc.).
• Effective written and oral communication skills.

Starting salary of $95,000 to $130,000 annually, depending on qualifications and experience. Talk to us about details and vesting, but along with a competitive salary our compensation includes medical insurance, 15 days PTO (paid time off) annually, 11 paid holidays, a 401(k) plan with a 3% safe harbor contribution (which means you don’t have to make a match, we just contribute it), an annual bonus plan, and more.

Relocation assistance considered if needed.
