Staff Accountant

The staff accountant will support the accounting team across a range of day-to-day functions, including journal entries, reconciliations, close support, AP/AR backup, and day-to-day QuickBooks bookkeeping for the entities still maintained on that platform. This role has broader exposure across the department than an entry-level position, with the expectation that the person can work through routine accounting tasks with a reasonable degree of independence while still developing toward more complex, judgment-based work.
