Position Overview
Our client is looking for a detail-oriented and organized Accounting & Administrative Support professional to provide hands-on assistance across two core functions — accounting operations and day-to-day administrative coordination. This is a hybrid role that requires someone comfortable with numbers and paperwork in equal measure.
On the accounting side, the primary focus is payroll calculations and supporting the broader accounting function. On the administrative side, this person will handle the operational and organizational tasks that keep the business running smoothly. The ideal candidate is dependable, accurate, and can shift seamlessly between accounting support and administrative responsibilities throughout the day.
