Pay Starting pay:

$18.00 per hour Higher starting pay may be considered based on relevant experience and skills. An Opportunity to Learn & Grow This position will begin primarily with front-office and administrative responsibilities, but we hope to find someone who would like to learn and take on more responsibility over time. As you become comfortable with our office and processes, there may be opportunities to expand into bookkeeping, payroll-related administrative work, client account maintenance, and other accounting-office support based on your strengths and interests. You won't be expected to figure everything out on your own. You'll be working alongside an experienced administrative team and will receive training and support as you learn. Why You Might Love This Schedule This position can be a great fit for someone who wants to be part of a professional office while still having flexibility for much of the year. Outside of tax season, our office is open only Monday through Thursday, and we're willing to work with the right person to create a schedule that fits within those hours. If you need a little flexibility to get children on or off the bus, for example, we're open to making that work. Tax season is busy and requires a greater time commitment, but it lasts for approximately 2 1/2 months. The remainder of the year offers a much more flexible schedule. If you're friendly, organized, dependable, willing to learn, and looking for a workplace where you can become part of a small team, we'd love to hear from you.
