Staff Accountant POST NUMBER: 477006

Canton, MI

Vaco is partnering with a well-established organization in the Canton/Litchfield area that’s looking to add a Staff Accountant to their team.

This is a great opportunity to join a highly respected company known for its strong culture, collaborative environment, and hands-on leadership team. This is an in-office role offering strong exposure across the accounting function.

The role:
This position will support day-to-day accounting operations and requires a solid understanding of core accounting functions, including the full purchase and sales cycle, accrual accounting, and how it ties into AR, AP, inventory, and cost of goods sold. It’s a fast-paced environment where attention to detail and the ability to manage multiple priorities are key.

Key responsibilities include:

  • Managing AP/AR, general ledger activity, and bank reconciliations
  • Preparing financial statements (income statement, balance sheet, cash flow)
  • Supporting month-end and year-end close processes
  • Preparing journal entries and maintaining accurate financial records
  • Handling account reconciliations, including intercompany and inventory
  • Maintaining fixed assets
  • Supporting audit and tax processes, including year-end workpapers
  • Preparing and filing sales tax, fuel tax, and other regulatory filings
  • Assisting with reporting and ad hoc projects

Qualifications:

  • Bachelor’s degree in Accounting (or related experience)
  • 3–5 years of general accounting experience
  • Strong understanding of GAAP and financial statement preparation
  • Experience with accounting systems (e.g., Great Plains, QuickBooks, JDE, Sage)
  • Strong organizational, analytical, and communication skills
  • High attention to detail and ability to prioritize in a fast-paced environment

Determining compensation for this role (and others) at Vaco/Highspring depends upon a wide array of factors including but not limited to the individual’s skill sets, experience and training, licensure and certifications, office location and other geographic considerations, as well as other business and organizational needs. With that said, as required by local law in geographies that require salary range disclosure, Vaco/Highspring notes the salary range for the role is noted in this job posting. The individual may also be eligible for discretionary bonuses, and can participate in medical, dental, and vision benefits as well as the company’s 401(k) retirement plan. Additional disclaimer: Unless otherwise noted in the job description, the position Vaco/Highspring is filing for is occupied. Please note, however, that Vaco/Highspring is regularly asked to provide talent to other organizations. By submitting to this position, you are agreeing to be included in our talent pool for future hiring for similarly qualified positions.
