Every role at Mayfly Outdoors is guided by the same five principles on the water and on the job:

• Fish Together (Collaboration. Teamwork. Adaption.)You'll work shoulder-to-shoulder with sales, operations, and leadership across two sites - adapting as priorities shift and always rowing in the same direction.
• Presentation (Quality. Pride. Integrity.)From your reconciliations to your reporting, the numbers you produce reflect the same precision we put into every reel and rod.
• Hatch the Match (Innovate. Take Risks. Get It Done.)We want an Accounting Manager who improves the process, not just maintains it - who isn't afraid to find a better way.
• Wade Upstream (Improvement. Growth. Development.)We invest in your growth as much as our own - mentoring your team is part of the job, and so is your own development.
• Be the Guide (Customer Experience. Reputation. Expertise.)Sound financial leadership protects the reputation anglers around the world have trusted for over a decade.
