Junior Accountant (Fast Growth Track)

Junior Accountant (Fast Growth Track)

Before we dive into responsibilities and qualifications, let’s talk about who you are and what you want. Are you the kind of person who geeks out over numbers and gets a little too excited when the books reconcile perfectly? Do you look at QuickBooks and spreadsheets not as boring tasks, but as puzzles that need solving? And—let’s be real—are you someone who’d rather not just sit in a corner crunching numbers, but actually enjoy collaborating with a team that values your ideas and contributions? If you’re nodding your head (or even just thinking, “Yep, that’s me”), you might be exactly who we’re looking for.

We’re looking for a Junior Accountant who’s ready to jump in, learn fast, and take ownership of real work from day one. This is an execution-heavy role built to free up leadership, speed up delivery, and directly impact how quickly we can scale. You’ll handle the core accounting work that keeps our clients happy and our operations running—bookkeeping, reconciliations, payroll, and more—so our CEO and COO can focus on growth. And you won’t just be “helping out”—you’ll have a clear path to grow into a Staff Accountant and then Senior Accountant role as we scale. Our founder calls this “the role I wish I’d had starting out.”

About Us

Right Choice Accounting Solutions helps practices, agencies, and firms maximize their profits while saving A LOT in taxes! We’re a full-service accounting and tax firm built for small business owners who are ready to stop piecing together bookkeeping, payroll, and tax help—and finally get a team that can take their entire accounting function to the next level.

Our clients come to us as the upgrade they didn’t know they needed - the team that makes their numbers make sense, keeps them on track, and builds the strategies that actually move the needle as they scale their dreams into reality.

We specialize in Client Advisory Services (CAS), monthly financial reporting, bookkeeping, tax strategy, tax preparation, and payroll support. As a one-stop shop, we deliver results without the stiff, corporate vibe. Our clients trust us because we make accounting approachable, effective, and - dare we say - actually enjoyable to talk about.

Proudly family-owned and CPA-led, we’re not just about the numbers; we’re about the people behind them. Recently featured in Forbes as “Top CPAs in Georgia,” recognized as Best in County in Gwinnett, and named among the Top 20 business alumni of all time from the university where our leaders met, we’re just getting started—and this role is a big part of what’s next.

Job Description

The Junior Accountant at Right Choice is responsible for owning the core, day-to-day accounting tasks that keep our clients’ finances running smoothly. This is not just a back-office role - you’ll be a visible and valued part of the team, working directly with company leadership.

You’ll start by mastering small business bookkeeping & categorizations, reconciliations, payroll, and reporting, and you’ll be trained and prepared to oversee future junior accountants, interns, and other accounting staff as you grow in the role. This is an amazing opportunity to be fast-tracked into leadership early in your career.

Key Responsibilities

Primary Accounting & Bookkeeping

• Categorize transactions in QuickBooks Online accurately and completely.
• Perform bank and credit card reconciliations to ensure accurate records.
• Process payroll for employees and contractors.
• Support financial reporting for management and client review.
• Support the month-end close process.

Future Growth Opportunities

• Fast-track to Staff Accountant or Senior Accountant based on performance.
• No limits on how fast the role can grow - advancement is based on results, not years in the seat.
• Highly visible position with direct access to company leadership.
• Early leadership training to prepare you for overseeing future junior accountants and interns.

Seasonal Tax Support (Growth Opportunity)

• Organize and upload client tax documents into our systems.
• Assist the tax team in preparing business and individual returns in tax software.
• Gain exposure to tax processes that expand your skills and career opportunities.

Performance Expectations (First 90 Days)

• 30 Days: Fully trained on our systems and SOPs, handling at least 30% of day-to-day accounting tasks without supervision.
• 60 Days: Fully managing 60–70% of accounting tasks for all clients.
• 90 Days: Leadership is no longer handling basic accounting execution—you’re running the process with accuracy and consistency.

Qualifications

• Recent college graduate with a bachelor’s degree in accounting (seniors will be strongly considered).
• Familiarity with QuickBooks Online or similar accounting software preferred.
• Strong attention to detail and organizational skills.
• Excellent communication skills - willing to ask questions and keep the team updated.
• Must be able to work primarily from our Duluth, GA office (hybrid role).
• A collaborative, team-oriented mindset.
• An infectious personality that adds to our positive office culture.

Extra Credit:

• Basic knowledge of tax principles or prior tax prep experience.
• Prior internship or work experience in an accounting setting.
• Proven ability to meet deadlines without micromanagement.

Work Schedule

Let’s be honest—who really needs an 8-hour workday every single day? Not us! Even on in-office days, once the work is done, so are you. We value results over hours.

Everyone at Right Choice is available between 10 AM – 3 PM Monday through Friday, with all Mondays in-office and most Fridays remote (after training).

Compensation & Benefits

• Hourly Rate: $22 – $25/hour, based on experience.
• Fast-Track Growth: Quickly move into a salaried Staff Accountant role and beyond based on performance—not just time in the role.
• 401(k) plan.
• Medical reimbursement program to offset personal medical costs if needed.
• Flexible work schedule.
• Early exposure and training by company leadership.
• Paid holidays (plus a few extras).
• Fun, inclusive, growth-focused team culture.
