Staff Accountant
We’re looking for a Staff Accountant to join our team and help keep our financials on track. If you have an eye for detail and some experience with numbers, this could be a great fit. You’ll handle everything from journal entries to month-end close and play a key role in keeping our financial side organized. This is a great role for someone who enjoys working independently but also thrives in a team environment.
Who We Are
At Happy Egg, we know what it takes to make remarkable eggs (and we know a thing or a dozen). With over 70 years of experience in Free Range farming, we’ve mastered the art of producing richer yolks and more flavorful eggs. From our idyllic farms, filled with specialty breeds of birds enjoying high-quality feed, to the stores we partner with to deliver these exceptional eggs to your kitchen, there’s an extra dose of Happy in every step.
Our headquarters are located in the beautiful Northwest Arkansas Region, where poultry farming thrives, and recreational activities for humans are endless.
This is an on-site role. Out-of-state candidates need not apply.

· You have a degree in Accounting, Finance, or a related field.
· You have 1-3 years of experience in accounting, with a solid understanding of general tasks.
· You are comfortable using accounting software and Excel.
· You possess knowledge of GAAP (Generally Accepted Accounting Principles).
· You have a detail-oriented and organized mindset.
· You have the ability to juggle tasks and meet deadlines.
· You have strong communication skills—you can break down numbers for people who don’t live in spreadsheets.
· You are a team player but can also work independently when needed.
·
Key Responsibilities:
· Process Improvements: Spot ways to make our accounting processes more efficient and help implement changes.
· Special Projects: Assist with tasks like budgeting or financial analysis as needed.
· Manage the Books: Keep the general ledger up to date with daily, weekly, and monthly journal entries.

What Will Make You Shine:
· A CPA (or working toward it).
· Experience with audits, financial reporting, or treasury management.
