The Staff Accountant provides strategic, unbiased and objective accounting advisory services which assist organizations in improving financial reporting and overall monitoring of company performance. The Staff Accountant is essential in the organization, given the direct interaction with our clients. The Staff Accountant is directly responsible for delivering on the value promised to our clients. The Staff Accountant delivers on this value by performing an accounting Discovery identifying first writing and then working directly with clients on restructuring, executing the Project Plan. The Finance Manager uses their skills in developing people to follow standard processes to appropriately gather financial data and develop systems they have acquired to affect real, substantive, sustainable and quantifiable change. This change is documented weekly in the form of a Weekly Abacus Meeting (WAM) that shows progress against agreed to deliverables and is reviewed, in person, with the client each week prior to leaving the client’s place of work. Given the responsibilities for this position, the expectations for skills, competency, and “values fit” is high. The Staff Accountant position is an employee role and, as such, does not require owning a separate entity (Corporation or LLC). The Staff Accountant may work individually or as part of a team.
