About the Role

J.R. Helms & Associates, P.C. is a full-service accounting, tax, and business consulting firm based in Indianapolis. We’re hiring a Staff Accountant / General Accountant who wants meaningful client work, professional growth, and a clear development path.

This role is ideal for someone with hands-on accounting and bookkeeping experience who is ready to take ownership of general ledger responsibilities while continuing to grow in a supportive, collaborative public accounting environment.

This role requires sound judgment, curiosity, and the ability to think through issues—not just follow a checklist.

Prepare financial statements and supporting schedules
Research and resolve account discrepancies

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
