Accountant (18 Month Position)

You See Stories in Spreadsheets. We See You.

The Opportunity
** This posting is for a temporary full-time position for 18 months with a planned start date of September 14th, 2026 **
In school, you weren’t just good at math – you were an Iron Man-level mathlete! The thing you look forward to most about going out with friends for dinner is calculating how much everyone owes and how much to tip (of course, doing it all in your head). While everyone else is looking forward to spring, you’re celebrating tax season. Sound familiar? Then you might just be the person we’re looking for.

We’re looking for a top-notch accountant with a love of all things financial to join our finance team to support business leaders and stakeholders by providing actionable and reliable financial information and reports.
