GreenOak Accounting Hiring for Remote Certified Public Accountant (CPA) Job at Remote Full Time

Remote Staff Accountant:

Our team is revolutionizing the accounting industry, and finding exceptional people to solve challenging problems is a top priority as we execute this vision. We are looking for a Staff Accountant that is knowledgeable in QuickBooks Online (QuickBooks Desktop knowledge is helpful but not required), comfortable working one-on-one with clients, excited about making a real difference in their client’s businesses and is resourceful in problem solving.

We need you, a world-class accountant!

This is a unique opportunity to work with our clients and shape their businesses on a daily basis. You’ll be empowered to own the client relationship, deepen your knowledge as a CFO, develop additional systems and templates for the team, all in order to give our clients the world-class service they expect. We are looking for someone who’s “results-oriented” and is always eager to get things done, but never at the cost of a thoughtful or strategic approach.

We are unique from most accounting firms in that our goal is not “just” compliance. Through our suite of CFO services we are truly partners and trusted advisors to our therapist and psychologist clients. Because we’re so specialized we are able to advise both on big picture vision as well as on a really granular level.
