HELP WANTED — OFFICE MANAGER
Full-Time — Accounting Office

You do not have to know everything when you walk through the door. We will teach you the bookkeeping, payroll, and office procedures specific to our practice. What we do need is someone who is willing to learn, comfortable with computers, and able to adapt when the way we do things changes.
TAX SEASON:
Tax season is our busiest time of year. The pace picks up considerably, and there will be a lot of returns to assemble, clients to contact, phones to answer, and things happening at the same time.
We need someone who can stay organized and keep working through a busy day without getting easily overwhelmed.
A consistent work schedule is especially important during tax season. Vacations or extended planned absences during tax season will not be accommodated. Frequent absences are also not workable for this position.
THE RIGHT FIT:
This position would be a good fit for someone who enjoys being busy, likes having a variety of responsibilities, is comfortable working with people and computers, and doesn't mind learning new things.
The accounting industry — and the software we use — is changing rapidly because of AI and new technology. We are looking for someone who is comfortable adapting and learning new technology rather than someone who wants everything to stay exactly the same.
If you are dependable, punctual, organized, computer-savvy, and interested in becoming a valued part of a busy accounting office, we would like to hear from you.
