Are you a detail-driven accountant who wants more than just a job — you want a place where your work actually matters and your colleagues have your back? Our client is a small but well-established, growing organization in the Metairie, LA area with deep roots in the community. They're looking for a Staff Accountant / Full-Charge Bookkeeper who's ready to take ownership of the accounting function, work alongside a tight-knit team, and build a long-term career with an employer that invests in its people.

The organization manages accounting across a range of business entities, with a level of care and personalization that larger, more bureaucratic employers can't match. Whether your background is in public accounting or private industry, if you know full-cycle accounting inside and out, we want to hear from you.

•  Month-end and year-end close, including journal entries and reconciliations

•  Accrual accounting and general ledger maintenance

•  Financial statement preparation, cash flow forecasting, and financial reporting and analysis

•  Multi-state payroll processing and sales tax filing

•  Collaboration with the broader team during peak reporting periods

•  A degree in Accounting or a related field is a plus — extensive full-cycle accounting experience may substitute for a degree

•  5+ years of hands-on accounting or 7+ years of full-cycle bookkeeping experience in corporate or public accounting; multi-entity a plus

•  Strong experience with full-cycle AP/AR, general ledger, reconciliations, month-end close, financial statement preparation, payroll and sales tax, and heavy QuickBooks Online

•  Advanced Excel skills, including Pivot Tables and VLOOKUP

•  Organized, communicative, and someone who genuinely enjoys being part of a collaborative team

•  Stability — an established employer that's been around for years and isn't going anywhere

•  Real variety — you'll work across multiple entities and areas

•  Work-life balance — they respect your time

•  Tight-knit culture — no politics, no bureaucracy; just a team that supports each other

•  Room to grow — as the organization grows, so does your role
