About You

• You know your stuff: You have 2+ years of experience in a mid- to large sized public accounting firm and 1+ years of industry experience.
• You’ve got book smarts: You have a solid understanding of GAAP and the ability to research accounting issues. You have a Bachelor’s or Master’s in Accounting from an accredited university and preferably an active CPA license to prove it.
• You’ve got street smarts: Your strengths include organization, time management, and problem solving.
• You get stuff done: You are self-motivated with the ability to effectively prioritize, make, and meet commitments, while working individually and in teams.
• You just may be a bit of a geek deep down inside: You love software, you're tech savvy, and you’re an Excel wizard.
• You laugh out loud, a lot.

Please answer true or false to the following questions:  

• You’ve got a firm grasp on debits and credits and you’re ready to really understand a business.  
• You want to be on a team with people who will leverage your strengths and support your growth potential.  
• You are a confident and clear communicator.
• You know what you want to be when you grow up and this opportunity is going to help you get there.
• It’s not your fault, but you’re probably 10-key dependent and can’t do math in your head.
• You are naturally curious and feel comfortable asking questions when you don’t understand something.
• You understand that joining a small accounting team in a high growth company means great opportunities for you.
• You play well with others, and those that don’t know what you do for a living are regularly surprised you’re an accountant based on your disposition. If you don’t get what this means, then answer false.  
• You expect there is going to be reconciliations, fixed assets, audits, tax returns, and other recurring work to be done. This may or may not be why you want this job, but you’re willing to do it and do it well.
• The lesson behind “Wax on, wax off” is relevant to this stage of your career and you can tell us why.

If you answered true to all of the questions above, then we’re excited to meet you.
