About the Role We are a printing and mailing company looking for an experienced accounting professional to own our accounting function and month end close.

This is a hands-on role:

you will be the person who closes the books, not the person who reviews someone else's work. At the same time, we want more than data entry — you will be the financial voice in the room when we look at job profitability, pricing, staffing, and equipment decisions. This role suits someone who has outgrown a staff accountant or bookkeeping seat and wants full ownership, or an experienced controller who prefers a smaller company where they can see the whole picture.
