What are the responsibilities and job description for the Staff Accountant (bilingual - Chinese) position at Restaurant Equipment Market LLC?
About Us
LX Group is a family-owned business that’s been serving the foodservice and equipment industry for over 30 years. It all started with a young immigrant woman who simply wanted to support her family. She worked tirelessly—driving semi-trucks while pregnant, taking no days off, and doing every job herself—to build what has become a trusted, dependable partner for customers across North America.
We’re a family-owned business through and through. In the early days, our company truly operated like a family. Grandma Lucy cooked lunch for everyone. The husband-and-wife founders took all eight employees on group trips to Disney World, fishing excursions, and even skiing. That culture—built on care, grit, and generosity—is still the heartbeat of who we are today.
Now in our second generation of leadership, we are evolving from a small business into a growing platform company. As we modernize and scale, we are looking for a bilingual Staff Accountant (Chinese) to join our finance team and support the foundational functions that keep our business strong and growing.
