We are looking for a dependable Accountant & Office Administrator for an international manufacturer opening a new plant and office in the greater Des Moines area. This is a full-time, direct-hire, on-site position, and you will run the company's accounting desk. Target start is February 2027. The exact office location is shared during the interview.
The company is small today, so invoice and document volume is light, and the role also covers day-to-day HR administration and front-office duties such as welcoming visitors. As the company grows, the plan is for this position to focus on accounting only, with separate hires for HR and purchasing later.
This role needs 3 or more years of hands-on accounting or bookkeeping experience. An associate or bachelor's degree in accounting, experience at a manufacturer or international company, or experience wearing several hats at a small company is a plus. You should be organized, discreet with confidential information, and glad to cover reception and other tasks while the team is small.
