Job Description
Role Overview

Join Brailsford & Dunlavey's growing Finance & Accounting team as a Staff Accountant.

You'll have opportunities to build technical expertise, strengthen business acumen, contribute to process improvements, and take on increasing responsibility over time.

What You Will Do

As a Staff Accountant, you'll prepare and process customer billing, perform monthly bank and balance sheet account reconciliations, assist with month-end and year-end close activities, and maintain accurate, organized accounting records. You'll also analyze financial data to identify trends, inconsistencies, and opportunities for improvement, and participate in initiatives to improve accounting processes and workflows.
