Staff Accountant

WE'RE LOOKING FOR THE PERSON WHO WANTS TO KNOW THE STORY BEHIND THE NUMBERS. You don't just enter numbers; you want to know that they're right . When something doesn't balance, you need to know why. You notice discrepancies other people miss. You like clean books, organized systems, accurate reporting, and the satisfaction of knowing that leadership can make better decisions because the financial information you're providing is reliable. If that sounds like you, you may be exactly who we're looking for. Restoration Network is looking for an experienced Staff Accountant to join our growing team. This is a hands-on accounting position responsible for helping maintain the financial accuracy and health of our company. This is not an entry-level bookkeeping position. We're looking for someone with a strong accounting foundation who understands the why behind the numbers and is comfortable taking ownership, investigating discrepancies, and helping improve financial processes. IMPORTANT: THIS IS AN IN-PERSON POSITION This is a full-time, on-site position at our office in Maple Grove, Minnesota. This position is not remote or hybrid. We value having this role integrated with our leadership and operations teams, where questions can be answered quickly, and our accounting team can understand what's happening within the business-not just what's appearing in the books. YOU'LL PROBABLY LOVE THIS JOB IF You notice when a number doesn't look right and can't leave it alone until you figure out why. Reconciling an account down to the penny is strangely satisfying. You're organized, accurate, and genuinely care about the details. You understand accounting principles, not just accounting software. You can manage recurring responsibilities without someone reminding you they're due. You like creating reports that actually help people understand what's happening in the business. You aren't afraid to ask questions or challenge something that doesn't make sense. You enjoy improving systems instead of saying, "That's how we've always done it." You can work independently but also enjoy being part of a collaborative team. You take ownership of your work and follow things all the way through.
