Staff Accountant
Onsite | Bethesda, MD
Salary: $60,000 – $75,000 (max $75K) + bonus
A stable, specialized manufacturing company supporting U.S. defense and public safety programs is seeking a Staff Accountant to join its tight‑knit accounting team. This is an excellent opportunity for someone early in their accounting career who wants hands‑on exposure to full‑cycle accounting and the ability to learn accounting A–Z in a small, high‑impact environment.
Why This Role Stands Out
- Learn full‑cycle AR & AP in a highly visible role
- Direct exposure to the CFO
- Extremely generous benefits, including 100% employer‑paid medical, dental, and vision
- Small company where your work truly matters
- Long‑term stability and growth potential
Key Responsibilities
- Handle accounts payable and invoice processing
- Support accounts receivable activities
- Manage purchase orders and inventory accounting
- Prepare journal entries and maintain the general ledger
- Perform bank and account reconciliations
- Support month‑end and general accounting processes
- Work daily in QuickBooks
Requirements
- Bachelor’s degree in Accounting or related field Associates degree considered with strong hands‑on AR/AP experience
- 1+ year of accounting experience, with measurable exposure to AR and/or AP
- Strong attention to detail
- Motivated, eager to learn, and comfortable wearing multiple hats
Nice to Have (Not Required)
- QuickBooks experience
- Government contracting (GovCon) background
- Internship experience in AR or AP (open to new grads)
Compensation & Benefits
- Salary: $60,000 – $75,000 (max)
- Discretionary bonus up to 10%
- 100% employer‑paid health, dental & vision insurance
- 5 weeks total PTO (4 weeks vacation + 1 week sick leave)
- Stable company with long‑standing government relationships
Work Environment
- Onsite, 5 days per week
- Flexible hours around 8:30 AM – 5:00 PM
- Small U.S. office (approx. 5 employees)
- Department structure: CFO → Staff Accountant
This role is ideal for someone seeking true hands‑on accounting experience, strong mentorship, and excellent work‑life balance in a mission‑driven, financially stable organization.
