Accountant (Junior–Intermediate / Level II)

We are seeking a Junior–Intermediate Staff Accountant to support a diverse portfolio of private clients across multiple industries. This is a hands-on, full-cycle role suited for someone with a solid accounting foundation who is ready to take ownership of assigned files, learn quickly, and develop strong professional judgment under the guidance of senior team members.

This role is ideal for a candidate who takes accountability for their work, is curious about why things look the way they do, and raises potential issues early, before they become problems.

Identify opportunities to improve processes, documentation, or file organization as you gain experience

What You Will Bring

Client service or public practice experience is a strong asset, but not required
