About The Position

Finance Associate: Data Entry, Detail-Orientated, Tech Savvy Term: 90-Day "Launchpad" (Temp-to-Perm) Are You the One? We are looking for a specific mindset. This role is perfect for you if: You Love Numbers: You have a "math brain" and get a genuine dopamine hit from a reconciliation that balances to the penny. You’re a Tech Enthusiast: You aren't just an Excel user; you’re a power user. You’re curious about how AI can make finance faster and more accurate. You’re a "Detail Detective": You spot the typo in a 5-page report instantly. You believe that if a job isn't accurate, it isn't done. You Enjoy the Build: You aren't looking for a "maintenance" job. You want to help us refine and build a world-class financial operation. Do you see patterns where others see chaos? At Jackson Paper Manufacturing, we don’t just process paper; we’re also optimizing our financial operations. We are looking for a Finance Associate who doesn't just "do math," but who genuinely loves the art of numerical integrity. If you are the person who finds peace in a perfectly balanced ledger and excitement in using technology to turn a mountain of "messy data" into a clear story for leadership, we want to talk to you. The Mission: Bringing Order to Complexity Your day-to-day won’t just be about data entry; it’s about data transformation. You will be the bridge between raw inputs—emails, reports, and paper documents—and the high-level insights required by our CFO. Your core challenges will include: The "Before & After" Narrative: You’ll take complex accounts and reconcile them until the "before" (the noise) becomes a crystal-clear "after" (the truth). CFO-Ready Reporting: You won't just hand over numbers; you’ll present information in a way that helps the business make major decisions. Tech Optimization: We are modernizing. You’ll use multiple tools including Microsoft Excel, and explore AI tools to streamline workflows and migrate data into our new, digital-first reporting systems. Zero-Defect Accuracy: You’ll manage bank activity, ledger reconciliations, and the AP/AR cycle with a "mile-away" eye for discrepancies. The Opportunity & Benefits This role begins as a 90-day project . It’s a chance for you to see if you love our culture and for us to see your skills in action. Initial Pay: $23–$30/hour (based on your "Excel Wizardry" and experience). The Path to Permanent: Successful completion of the 90-day term may open the door to a permanent position, including full company benefits, comprehensive health insurance, retirement plans, and PTO.
