About The Position

Accountant – 32 to 40 Hours/Week Variety, challenge, flexibility, and growth await you as the Accountant at PAI, one of the Twin Cities' premier providers of day and employment-related services for adults with developmental disabilities. We have a compelling opportunity for a talented accounting professional to administer a wide range of financial activities - from bookkeeping and budgeting to board reporting and audit management - while playing a meaningful role in an organization that makes a real difference in people's lives. This is a 32–40 hour-per-week position with competitive pay ($38.45–$40.85/hour), full benefits, a hybrid work schedule, a bring-your-dog-to-work policy, and a work environment where everyone is valued and respected. We offer scheduling flexibility based on your interests: Candidates who wish to include payroll processing as part of their role can expect approximately 40 hours per week. Those who prefer to forego primary payroll responsibilities can expect approximately 32 hours per week. Either way, we ask that this person be available to serve as a backup payroll processor on the rare occasions our primary payroll lead is unavailable. Training is provided on our top-tier HRIS/payroll system, of course.
