General Ledger Accountant

Description

Goodwill Industries of New Mexico is seeking a detail-oriented, experienced General Ledger Accountant to join our Finance team. In this role, you’ll keep our financial records beautiful by reconciling bank and investment accounts, creating and reviewing transactions, and preparing cash flow and retail performance reports for leadership. We’re looking for someone who brings more than just accounting experience: we need analytical thinking, strong Excel skills, and a passion for mission-driven work. This is a critical role where your attention to detail and comfort working with large data sets will directly support programs that serve our community. Ideal candidates will have at least 5 years of accounting experience, a bachelor’s degree or equivalent blend of education and hands-on expertise, and the kind of mind that sees the ledger as a big, fun puzzle. Experience with Microsoft Great Plains and point-of-sale systems is a plus, but not necessary. We offer a supportive environment, opportunities for growth, and meaningful work you can feel good about. Apply today and help us build a better community, one reconciliation at a time.

$27.00/hour, guaranteed 38 hours a week.
