About The Position

Jennie Joiner with Forum Group PNW is partnering with a well-established Eugene-based organization to find a Property & Compliance Accountant to join their corporate accounting team. This is a newly created position and a great opportunity for an experienced Staff Accountant who enjoys variety and wants to expand their skill set beyond traditional general ledger accounting. The position will have a unique blend of property accounting, leases, property tax, compliance, fixed assets, and general accounting responsibilities.
