VIA TAX
About the Job…
We’re looking for a Junior Accountant who will be responsible for the day-to-day financial activity of VIA. You’ll work across accounts payable, accounts receivable, journal entries, travel, job costing, and month-end close. This is a hands-on role for someone who enjoys working with numbers, understands how transactions connect to the bigger picture, and isn’t afraid to investigate when something doesn’t look right. You’ll work closely with the Finance and Operations teams and have visibility into the financial performance of the agency and its clients. The right person will bring strong attention to detail, curiosity, and a willingness to take ownership and follow things through. What You’ll Do
You like the flow of numbers. You notice when something doesn’t add up—and you want to know why.
You’re organized without being rigid, analytical without losing sight of the people behind the numbers, and comfortable asking questions when you don’t have the answer. Most importantly, you take pride in getting things right and making sure nothing falls through the cracks. Salary: $57,000–$65,000, commensurate with experience. About VIA… VIA means "The Way" in Latin. We've been finding the way for 33 years - for our clients, for ourselves, and most importantly for the humans on the receiving end of our work. We started with a set of principles we wrote in a hotel bar in fifteen minutes. That was 1993. We still use the same principles. They are our lighthouse. They keep us off the rocks: Be Curious.
Honor the Process.
Think Like the Audience.
Create Respect.
Be on Time.
Be on Budget.
Figure It Out.
Find the Magic.
Do Work That Makes You Proud.
Believe.
We believe in ideas with consequences. Ideas that change what people do next. Ideas that move markets. Ideas that alter destinies. We're 100% employee owned. Every person here has a real stake in what we become. What we built here, we built together. That changes what you fight for. What you're willing to put your name on. We're based in Portland, Maine. Four-day work week. Some of the best benefits of any company our size in America. We get to work in a library from 1888, every day, knowing it’s ours. Great schools. An ocean, and a food scene that has no business being this good.
