About The Position

At Little, we believe great design is built on strong relationships, collaboration, and informed decision-making. Our Finance team plays an important role in that success, helping our project teams understand their financial performance, navigate challenges, and make decisions that support both our clients and our business. As we continue transforming the way we work through Microsoft Dynamics 365, we're looking for a Project Accountant who brings more than technical accounting skills. We're looking for a curious, proactive business partner who enjoys working with people, embraces technology, and wants to make a meaningful impact. This is an opportunity to be part of a Finance team that is evolving beyond traditional accounting processes to become a trusted, collaborative partner across the firm.
