Description

The Accounting Associate is a key member of the Finance team, responsible for supporting core financial operations, including accounts payable (AP), accounts receivable (AR), payroll coordination, and expense reporting.

This role is ideal for someone who is hands-on, detail-oriented, and eager to grow. We're looking for a self-starter - someone who takes initiative, asks thoughtful questions, and is comfortable navigating change. The right candidate is not only strong in the fundamentals of accounting, but also open to learning new systems, tools, and ways of working.

We are committed to moving toward a more modern, digital, and scalable operation. This role offers the opportunity to grow with us through that transition. You'll be part of a team working to build more streamlined, tech supported workflows, and your input will help shape who we improve.
