Seeking Staff Accountant For Long Reconciliations and Backlit Spreadsheets

Midwest, middle-age company seeks dedicated, detailed, diligent staff accountant for a variety of accounting functions and serious relationship in a casual office environment.

Do you yearn for balance sheet reconciliations, and pine for the familiar comfort of monthly recurring payables? Is your life empty and meaningless without the pitter-patter of little fingers on a 10-key? Are you ready to be a part of something growing, new, and dynamic?

We are a well-established, Bloomington-based company fresh from acquiring a competitor and working hard to merge all accounting functions into our Bloomington office. Join us now and get in on all the action! Be a part of the team that figures it all out, and add an impressive accomplishment to your resume, then settle in for the long haul and grow along with us.

Interested? We thought so. Before you hit “reply,” make sure you read and understand the requirements:

• ATTENTION TO DETAIL! It starts when you read and follow the instructions in this ad. ATD is *crucial* for our accounting staff.
• ATTENTION TO DETAIL! If your cover letter or resume have spelling or grammar errors, we will thank our lucky stars that we found out now, and then will cheerfully reject your submission without a further thought. Better luck next time!
• ACCOUNTING DEGREE **OR** EQUIVALENT EXPERIENCE! Either or both will tell us that you know your subject matter, but we’ll still ask both basic and advanced accounting questions anyway.
• SPREADSHEET EXPERTISE: You’ll never know everything about Excel, but you should have experience and above-average knowledge, and be eager to continue learning more.
• CREATIVITY: There is no box. We need you to think creatively to solve problems, create solutions, and improve processes. Bring examples to the interview.
• ORGANIZATION: There is a lot to juggle and a lot to know. Organized people never rely on just their memory to keep their task lists, calendars, and methods straight. It isn’t about what you know and can remember, it’s about whether your co-workers can figure out what to do when you’re out sick, without sifting through piles of papers.
• COMMUNICATION SKILLS: Your cover letter should give us a glimpse of how well you string together a few sentences. Despite the casual tone of this ad, think of how would you write to one of our customers or suppliers.

If you’ve come this far, you’ve either skipped to the end or you’ve read the ad and can’t wait to respond. We hope you read the ad. There was some important stuff in there.

Please submit both a cover letter and resume.
