Staff Accountant (Entry Level)

Alaska Travel Adventures · Juneau, Alaska · Full-time, on-site

Alaska Travel Adventures runs shore excursions and tours for visitors to Southeast Alaska, based in Juneau. Our accounting team keeps a seasonal, fast-moving business running on accurate numbers, and we are looking for someone early in their career who wants to grow with us.

The Staff Accountant is a full-time, on-site position in our Juneau office, reporting to the accounting leadership team. You will learn the full accounting cycle hands-on, from daily transactions through month-end close, with real responsibility from your first season.

•     Process accounts payable: code and enter vendor invoices, prepare payment runs

•     Review and reconcile staff company credit card activity and expense receipts

•     Reconcile bank and balance sheet accounts monthly

•     Prepare journal entries for accruals, prepaids, and other month-end items

•     Support month-end close and seasonal reporting

•     Assist with year-end audit requests and schedules

•     Help improve processes in our accounting system as you learn it

Required

•     Bachelor's degree in accounting or finance, or completing one by start date

•     Working knowledge of debits, credits, and basic financial statements

•     Comfortable in Excel (lookups, pivot tables)

•     Detail-oriented, organized, and reliable with deadlines

•     Able to work on-site in Juneau

Nice to have

•     Internship or 0–2 years of accounting experience

•     Experience with QuickBooks, NetSuite, or a similar system

•     Interest in pursuing a CPA license

This is a starting point, not a ceiling. Strong performers can move from Staff Accountant to Senior Accountant, taking on more of the close, reporting, and analysis as their skills grow.

•     Cross-training across AP, reconciliations, close, and reporting

•     Direct mentoring from experienced accounting leadership

•     Support for professional development, including CPA exam preparation

•     Exposure to budgeting and financial analysis in a real operating business

This role is based in Juneau, Alaska, and requires working on-site. We do not offer a relocation package. If you are moving to Juneau, we will help you find housing by sharing local leads, rental contacts, and neighborhood advice from our team.
