Evan Butchen CPA Hiring for Junior Accountant Job at East Brunswick, NJ Full Time

We are looking for an Accountant that can both manage financial transactions and help file business and personal tax returns. Accountant responsibilities include preparing QuickBooks statements, reconciling bank statements, preparing quarterly financials, reviewing and analyzing financials with clients, preparing payroll and sales tax returns, and preparing personal & business tax returns. Having previous experience in financial accounting and tax is a requirement. We’d like to have someone who can pick up and start relatively quickly. We will spend ample time getting you familiar with our clients. Pay can increase based on performance and time.

This job is really a blend of basic/advanced book keeping, accounting, and tax preparation.

Our business focuses on small businesses and individuals. We help businesses with all accounting needs throughout the year. During the tax season we file many individual and business returns. We are looking for someone who would be able to handle all facets throughout the year.

Our work environment is very casual. Eventually some work can be done remotely as the schedule allows and being in the office five days a week is not always required.

We are offering benefits of health insurance as well as up to three weeks paid vacation and a friendly work environment. Salary can be adjusted based on prior experience and capability. As this is growing business, the position will expand as well. There is large room for job growth.
