- Communicate clearly with clients and internal team members
What We’re Looking For
- Experience with QuickBooks and general ledger accounting
- Strong attention to detail and accuracy
- Ability to analyze issues and problem-solve independently
- Clear, professional communication skills
- Comfort working with multiple clients or entities
- Public accounting or small-business accounting experience preferred
Why Join J.R. Helms & Associates
- SIMPLE IRA with 3% company match
- Paid vacation, sick, and holiday time
- Paid continuing education , CPA exam support, and professional memberships
- Exposure to a wide range of industries and clients
- Opportunity to grow into senior and leadership roles
Compensation:
Competitive salary range of $44,500–$81,000 , based on experience, with opportunities for growth, professional development, and performance-based increases.
Who This Role Is NOT For
This role may not be a good fit if:
- You’re looking for a fully remote position
- Your experience is limited to AP/AR, payroll-only, or data-entry-only work
- You prefer highly repetitive, behind-the-scenes tasks with little client interaction
- You’re seeking a senior leadership or management-level role at this time
