About the RoleWe are actively recruiting a dependable, detail-oriented Staff Accountant for an immediate, career-focused opening. This versatile role is designed for an adaptable professional who thrives in an organized environment, bridging the gap between rigorous technical bookkeeping and day-to-day office operations in a professional, client-service environment.
In this position, you will work closely with firm leadership to serve as a foundational asset to daily bookkeeping, financial reporting, payroll processing, and client administrative needs. If you possess a sharp eye for financial precision, maintain a strong command of Quick Books, and enjoy a role where your operational support directly helps maintain an efficient office environment, this position offers an exceptional framework for your skills.
Position Parameters: This is a strictly operational support role. There are no sales responsibilities, business development expectations, or commission-based structures.
Key ResponsibilitiesAccounting & Bookkeeping: Perform routine bookkeeping functions utilizing Quick Books Online, including reconciling bank accounts, credit cards, and loan statements accurately.
Financial Reporting: Assist leadership with the preparation of monthly financial reports, and accurately record and review journal entries and financial transactions.
Tax Season Support: Assist with the assembly and initial preparation of seasonal tax returns; organize and review incoming client tax documentation for completeness and track missing items.
Payroll & Sales Tax: Assist with accurate payroll processing, payroll-related reporting, and the tracking and filing of sales tax documents.
Administrative Operations: Manage the front-office calendar, schedule appointments, answer inbound phone calls professionally, and coordinate office workflows and document tracking.
Client Communication: Provide professional, timely, and confidential communication regarding document requests, scheduling updates, and general inquiries.
Position RequirementsWe are seeking a reliable, self-directed professional with a strong foundation of practical accounting experience and a commitment to operational excellence.
Professional Experience: Proven background in a bookkeeping, accounting clerk, or heavy tax office support role; prior public accounting or tax preparation office experience is highly preferred.
Technical Proficiencies: Hands-on proficiency with Quick Books Online and standard mastery of Microsoft Office applications (Word, Excel, and Outlook).
Analytical Skills: Exceptional attention to detail, strong organizational skills, and a proven ability to strictly follow procedures and meet rigid internal deadlines.
Communication Precision: Superior verbal and written communication skills; adept at handling client documentation and managing client inquiries with high confidentiality and professionalism.
Compliance & Dependability: Associate's or Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, Business, or a related field preferred (equivalent practical experience will be considered). Must have reliable transportation and a proven track record of excellent, dependable attendance.
Work EnvironmentThis role requires a consistent physical presence to maintain operational continuity and daily workflow standards. This is a 100% strictly in-office position, paired with standard professional office expectations. Because of the collaborative, hands-on nature of office operations and daily client interactions, remote work or work-from-home schedules are completely unavailable. Candidates desiring a remote arrangement need not apply. Consistent, dependable attendance is required, and additional hours or Friday flexibility may be required during peak tax season deadlines.
Next Steps to ApplyDon't let your qualifications get buried in an automated tracking system. Partner with a local team that recognizes real talent, respects hard work, and shoots you straight every step of the way.
