Requirements

The ideal candidate:

● Quickbooks: Experience with Quickbooks is required.

● Construction Accounting: Experience with Percentage of Completion is required.

● Bachelor's degree in Accounting or 5 - 7 years of related experience

● CPA: CPA or pursuing CPA is preferred

● Accounting Knowledge: Your main job is understanding a balance sheet and income statement, allocating all expenses and income into the right categories. Asking questions if unknown on how to categorize.

● Client management: The core of your job is relationship building. You need to be a person that cares deeply about helping small businesses succeed. That means managing expectations, being clear in your communication, and being willing to coach clients. You also need to be comfortable with challenging conversations and can diffuse tense situations and the foresight to navigate around potential pitfalls.

● Problem solving: The cardinal sin at our company is asking someone a question you could have solved yourself. We need people who are willing to “figure it out” and don’t mind rolling up their sleeves. That doesn’t mean we aren’t here to support you, we are.
