The Position:

The Staff Accountant performs various general accounting related activities such as month-end close, year-end audit support, and ensuring adequate internal controls and compliance. As The Granite Group believes in a flat structure and takes pride in our non-hierarchical culture, the Staff Accountant is given the opportunity to fully own several income statement and balance sheet accounts. You could expect to develop a deep expertise in various parts of the business through this ownership as you perform activities such as booking journal entries, reconciling balance sheets, and investigating variances to the budget and to the historical trends.

Once you are fully settled into the Staff Accountant role, as part of a growing company, both organically and through acquisition, opportunities also abound both for lateral and upward mobility. Examples may include rotating within the Accounting team to own different accounts, which would enable you to round out a comprehensive understanding of the business. Other examples include participating in cross-functional business improvement or automation projects within the broader Finance team and beyond.

If you have a degree in Accountancy and have proven success as an early-stage Accountant, you will enjoy what The Granite Group and this role has to offer: a unique opportunity to elevate your business acumen through practical, hands-on experience in performing accounting and financial reporting activities. This is not a back-office role. Instead, you will be given many opportunities to interact with branch personnel through reporting and investigative work.
