Accountant

Two Opportunities Available | Early-Career Candidates Encouraged to Apply | Hybrid Role Onsite 3 days per week in New Hampshire   Are you ready to build a strong foundation in accounting while learning from an experienced and supportive team?   Merchants Fleet is hiring two Staff Accountants to join our Accounting organization. These are separate openings supporting different areas of the business and reporting to different accounting leaders, but both offer the same opportunity to develop practical accounting expertise, contribute meaningful work, and grow your career.   You do not need to know everything on day one. We are looking for someone who brings curiosity, accountability, attention to detail, and a genuine interest in learning. We will provide training, clear expectations, and ongoing support to help you build confidence and succeed.   What  You’ll Do   As a Staff Accountant, you will help ensure the accuracy and integrity of our financial information while developing experience across core accounting activities. You will:   Review and document transactions throughout the accounting cycle   Help ensure the accuracy of system postings and financial data   Assist with month-end close, account analysis, reconciliations, and financial reporting   Reconcile multiple balance sheet accounts and investigate discrepancies   Prepare schedules and supporting documentation for the annual financial audit   Provide accurate, timely reporting to internal business partners   Identify opportunities to strengthen processes, controls, and ways of working   Collaborate with colleagues across Accounting and other areas of the company   What Will Help You Succeed   This role is well suited for someone who enjoys detailed work, values accuracy, and takes satisfaction in completing assignments thoroughly and on time. The job target emphasizes clearly defined responsibilities, careful execution, strong follow-through, collaboration, and a commitment to quality and established procedures. It also identifies the importance of training and support as employees develop expertise and confidence.    You are likely to thrive here if you:   Take ownership of your work and follow through on commitments   Pay close attention to details while keeping deadlines in focus   Ask thoughtful questions and seek to understand the “why” behind the work   Communicate openly about questions, risks, progress, or mistakes   Approach procedures and controls with care and consistency   Remain flexible when priorities, information, or business needs change   Work collaboratively and contribute to the success of the broader team   Look for thoughtful ways to improve processes as your knowledge grows   What You Bring   We encourage you to apply if you have:   A bachelor’s degree in accounting, Finance, or a related field   Up to three years of accounting experience, including internships, co-ops, or relevant academic experience   Foundational knowledge of generally accepted accounting principles   Comfort working with spreadsheets, financial information, and detailed data   Strong organizational, communication, and time-management skills   Interest in learning new accounting technologies and business systems   Experience with lease accounting, enterprise financial systems, financial planning tools, reconciliation platforms, data-processing tools, or SQL is helpful, but it is not required . CPA or MBA credentials are also welcomed but are not necessary for consideration.    What You Can Expect  From Us   We understand that beginning or advancing an accounting career requires more than receiving a list of assignments. It requires context, guidance, feedback, and the opportunity to practice new skills.   In this role, you can expect:   Structured onboarding and role-specific training   Clear responsibilities, priorities, and performance expectations   Support as you learn our business, accounting practices, and systems   Opportunities to develop expertise through hands-on work   Regular communication and feedback from your manager   Exposure to business partners and cross-functional teams   Encouragement to ask questions and recommend improvements   An environment that values accuracy, integrity, reliability, and continuous growth   Why This Is a Great Early-Career Opportunity   This is not a role where you are expected to arrive knowing every system or having encountered every accounting situation. It is an opportunity to:   Apply what you learned in school, an internship, or your first professional role   Build experience in month-end close, reconciliations, reporting, audit support, and process improvement   Learn within an established accounting environment   Develop strong technical habits and professional judgment   See how accurate financial information supports decisions across the business   Grow your confidence, capability, and career over time   Ready to Build Your Accounting Career?   If you are dependable, curious, detail-oriented, and ready to learn, we encourage you to apply.
