Administrative​/Accounting Assistant

BOLO – Be On the Look Out for an AWESOME Administrative/Accounting Assistant (Tax Processor)!

Are you a dynamite multi‑tasker? Do you thrive on being detail and process oriented? Have you worked in an administrative role in a Public Accounting Firm? Do you understand how tax returns are compiled and ultimately filed with federal and state agencies? Bell & Company may be looking for you! Only qualified candidates will be contacted.

Bell & Company is a midsize CPA firm based in North Little Rock, AR, with offices in Conway and Harrison. We have proudly served our clients for 45 years and are still growing. Our success is attributable to strong leadership and an excellent team that provides exceptional service. We are dedicated, take pride in our work, and go the extra mile for clients.

We are looking for someone who possesses the following traits:

• Detail oriented.
• Deadline driven.
• Accuracy focused.
• Compliance focused.
• Process oriented.
• Multi‑tasking GURU.

If 1040, 1040A, 1120, 1120S, 1165, 990, 1099, W‑2, and Schedule C is foreign to you, this is not your gig.

We expect you to come ready to collaborate, share information, and ask when you don’t know something. Don’t spin your wheels too long on something because that wastes time and money. Be open to others coming to you when they need your experience.

We need someone with experience handling tax documents and a basic understanding of a 1040 tax return. If you have worked in a CPA firm and processed/files tax returns, apply. If not, what type of accounting experience do you have?

We expect you to learn our company, policies, procedures, and why we do what we do, and how we do it. Once you understand these, we welcome suggestions and ideas to improve client service, processes, or collaboration.

• Prioritize your work and complete it in a timely and accurate manner.
• Take on new tasks as assigned.
• Operate a scanner and OCR program to process client information.
• Backup front desk: reception, phones, and packages.
• Proficient in Word, Excel, Adobe, and Outlook; computer literacy is a must.
• Other necessary duties will be discussed in an interview.

The most qualified candidate will have experience working in a Public Accounting Firm and understand tax forms and how to do a 1040 tax return.

Requirements:
High school diploma or equivalent. Associate’s in Business or Accounting is a plus. Minimum 2–3 years experience as an Administrative Assistant. Preferably experience in a CPA firm and familiarity with tax forms.

We are looking for someone professional, positive, and dependable. We have a laidback culture yet expect professionalism, independent work, self‑motivation, and collaboration.

This is a full‑time, hourly position. Wage range $20.00–$27.00 per hour, depending on experience.

Benefits include paid holidays, paid time off (PTO), paid health, dental, vision, life and disability insurance, and more. We have a summer and fall schedule with Fridays off.

If after reading this you’re nodding yes, then we need to talk.
