Payroll Accountant

71% of our planet is covered by water. We want everyone to make the most of it.

At Seakeeper, we use advanced technology to solve one of boating's biggest challenges: motion. From our industry-leading gyro stabilizers that eliminate boat roll to Seakeeper Ride's real-time vessel attitude control system, our products are transforming how people experience life on the water. Our mission is to create products that transform the boating experience while building an organization that employees want to work for, customers want to buy from, and vendors want to partner with.

We're ambitious, fast-moving, and constantly looking for better ways to serve our customers and each other.
