Wanna join the adventure?
We’re looking for an AP Accountant to support our finance team with core accounting tasks, including T&E, AP, bank reconciliations, and cash payments. We want someone who’s ready to take ownership, work independently, and hit the ground running.

This is a part-time position, but during the initial onboarding and ramp-up period, the role will require a temporary increase in hours to support key projects. Over time, the schedule will transition to a steady part-time cadence.

- Cash Payments: Executing cash payments in the bank without errors and in accordance with company policies
