Finance & Accounting Assistant

Are you looking for more than just an accounting job?

Do you want a role where you can build real experience, strengthen your finance and accounting skills, and grow into a bigger opportunity over time?

We are looking for a Finance & Accounting Assistant who is detail-oriented, dependable, and eager to grow. This is a great opportunity for someone who already has experience in accounting, payroll, billing, or office finance support and wants to continue developing toward a future role such as Senior Accounting support, Controller, or even CFO-level leadership. If you are someone who enjoys numbers, accuracy, reporting, problem-solving, and being a key support person behind the scenes, this could be a strong next step for you.

What You’ll Do

In this role, you will support the day-to-day financial and administrative operations of our corporate office. Responsibilities include a mix of:

• Payroll processing and labor reporting
• Accounts payable and accounts receivable support
• Billing, reconciliations, and reporting
• Financial and operational spreadsheets
• Office support and cross-functional team assistance
• Assisting leadership with reporting, analysis, and special projects

This position plays an important role in helping maintain accurate reporting, efficient office workflow, and strong financial organization.

Why This Role Stands Out

This is not just a task-based support position. We are looking for someone who wants to learn, contribute, and grow. This role may be a great fit for someone who:

• Is going to school for accounting, finance, business, or a related field
• Has prior experience in bookkeeping, payroll, A/P, A/R, billing, or office accounting
• Wants exposure to a wide range of finance and accounting responsibilities
• Is interested in building toward a future leadership role in finance
• Wants to be part of a company where they can grow with the business

What We’re Looking For

We’re seeking someone who brings:

• Strong attention to detail and accuracy
• Good organizational and time-management skills
• The ability to manage multiple priorities and deadlines
• A high level of professionalism and confidentiality
• Solid Excel, Word, and general office technology skills
• A team-first attitude and willingness to step in where needed

Preferred Background

• High school diploma or equivalent required
• Associate degree in accounting, business, or related field preferred
• 2 years of experience in office administration, bookkeeping, payroll, accounting support, or similar work preferred
• Experience with payroll, A/P, A/R, reconciliations, billing, or reporting strongly preferred
• Prior lead or supervisory experience is a plus or have the desire to grow within and lead in the future

The Type of Person Who Will Do Well Here

You may be a great fit if you are:

• Accurate and detail-oriented
• Proactive and dependable
• Motivated to learn and grow
• Comfortable balancing accounting duties with office support
• Interested in building a long-term career in finance
• Enjoys a small family office atmosphere
