Balanced Bookkeeping of NC is a growing accounting firm looking to add to our team.

Our company values proactive and innovative thinking. Since our main focus is on exceptional customer experience, being driven to meet our clients’ needs and support them and the rest of the team is crucial. This position offers the opportunity to be solution-oriented, and we are looking for someone who finds great satisfaction in perfecting processes and planning for long-term growth for and within our company. We value individuals who are strongly aligned with our Core Values of Education, Collaboration, Efficiency, and Resourcefulness. This is what we provide to our clients each day and on which we have built our team and reputation.

What you want to know: We are a fun loving team who enjoys getting to know our clients and our coworkers. Sarcasm is our favorite language (internally of course) and we love any reason to celebrate with cake. All of our team members are supportive of each other and we all work well together. We like leaving early on Fridays and our start time is flexible. We encourage our team members to prioritize family first and we do not want you coming into the office sick, so go see the kids play and take the day if you are sick. The details under Job Responsibilities may sound a little intimidating if you are just starting out in the accounting field. We don't require all of these skills to be in place, however a good understanding of accounting basics is necessary. If you are teachable and can take and follow established notes and SOPs, then we can help you learn the other skills. You will have direct access to our Staff Development Manager during training and after. That said, we have no desire to micromanage anyone and while we provide the SOPs and processes, we encourage each team member to make their projects their own.
