This opportunity is ideal for someone who wants to make a meaningful impact, enjoys operational accounting, and is looking for long-term career growth in a supportive, flexible, and people-first environment.
Key Responsibilities:
-
Manage day-to-day accounting operations: AP, AR, payroll, bank reconciliations, and general ledger entries

Strong leadership potential with the ability to build trust and balance compassion with accountability
-
Excellent organizational, communication, and problem-solving skills

-
Annual bonus program
