Description

Select Event Group is on a mission to become the safest, most trusted, and well-respected event services company in the nation. The Corporate Support Team at Select Event Group consists of several team members supporting the overall business operation. While each member of the Corporate Support Team has accountability to the success of their area of oversight, the team shares in the accountability of company-wide success. This demands a “help-first” mentality at all times. Each individual must support and employ the company’s Core Values and operate with the following philosophies: 

I want to surround myself with people stronger than me in their areas of experience/expertise. - I want to be a part of a team that is open and honest with one another, respectfully. - I am open-minded to new perspectives and opinions because I want to learn and improve my understanding every day. - Assumptions can divide teams and lead to poor decision making so I ask questions even when I think I have all of the information. - I am not afraid to admit when I, or one of my direct reports, have made a mistake. Mistakes allow for learning and growth. - My feeling of achievement comes from seeing my peers and direct reports succeed more than from my own success.

Working closely with all the areas of Select Event Group, the Director of Accounting directly supports the Accounting and Corporate teams for a Specialty Events Rental company, with responsibilities across the spectrum of financial control and reporting for this multi-divisional and rapidly growing business.
