Accountant

This is a contract assignment with strong potential to convert to a permanent position for the right candidate. This is an excellent opportunity for a detail-oriented accounting professional who is also comfortable wearing an HR hat in a smaller, close-knit team environment.

About the Role

The Accountant will own full-cycle accounting functions while also supporting core HR operations for the organization. This hybrid position is ideal for someone who thrives on variety, enjoys being a trusted resource across departments, and wants the stability of an established local company with room to grow into a permanent role.

Key Responsibilities

• Administer employee benefits enrollment and serve as a point of contact for benefits questions
• Process payroll accurately and on schedule
• Support HR compliance efforts, including maintaining required documentation and staying current on applicable employment regulations
• Assist with maintaining personnel files and HR recordkeeping best practices

What We're Looking For

• Proven experience with full-cycle accounting, including financial statement preparation, budgeting, and forecasting
• Working knowledge of core HR functions: onboarding, offboarding, benefits coordination, payroll, and HR compliance
• Familiarity with QuickBooks Online or Sage Intacct is a huge plus
• Strong attention to detail, discretion with confidential information, and the ability to manage competing priorities
• Excellent communication skills and comfort working cross-functionally in a small-team setting
• Prior experience in a marketing, agency, or professional services environment is a plus but not required

Why This Opportunity

This role offers the chance to make an immediate impact at a well-regarded Little Rock marketing company, with a clear path toward permanent placement for a candidate who is the right long-term fit.
