Let's talk about our schedule for a second: from mid-April through November, we move to a 36-hour work week with flexible Fridays - extra time back in your week during our slower season. Pair that with generous PTO, and you have a career that actually respects your time off.

We're looking for someone with a bachelor's degree in accounting who's self-motivated, enjoys variety in their work (tax returns, bookkeeping, payroll, and more), and values building real relationships with clients and coworkers. CPA/EA certification and QuickBooks experience are a plus.

After 6 months, part-time remote or a flex schedule may also be available.
