This is a full-time, non-exempt temp-to-hire opportunity designed for someone who can jump in quickly, work independently, and make an immediate impact on team capacity and day-to-day execution. You'll join a collaborative accounting team that works closely together, meets regularly to stay aligned, and supports one another through an open-door approach to questions and problem-solving.
