Who You Are:
You’re not your average bookkeeper. Yes, you’re accurate, organized, and detail-oriented—but you also think beyond the numbers. You see how your work connects to the bigger picture and are motivated to improve systems, streamline processes, and support smart decision-making.
You take ownership of your role, ask thoughtful questions, and bring ideas forward. You’re adaptable when things shift, proactive when something needs fixing, and always looking for ways to make the books (and the business) better. If you're looking for a role where your precision, initiative, and big-picture mindset are truly valued—you’ll feel right at home here.
