Full-time

Description

Toole Design Group in Kansas City, MO is looking to hire an experienced and talented full- time Project Accountant. Are you intrigued by the shades and nuances of service contracts from a variety of governmental agencies? Do you get bored working on the same projects month after month, year after year, decade after decade? Are you detail-oriented enough to spot inconsistencies in contracts?

This accounting position with a focus on the financial management of multiple projects earns a competitive salary and great benefits, including medical, dental, vision, life insurance, disability, a health savings account (HSA), and a flexible spending account (FSA). We practice what we preach and ensure that our employees also have access to transportation by providing them with financial incentives to bike, walk, or use transit for a better quality of life.
