SYSTEMS & STRUCTURE

EXPERIENCE

4–8+ years in accounting, bookkeeping, or financial operations
Experience managing AP/AR and running payroll directly
Strong experience with QuickBooks (or similar systems)
Experience working alongside a CPA or external accounting partner
Agency or service-based business experience is a plus

WHAT IT’S LIKE TO WORK AT HUNTER:

We care deeply about the work—and the people doing it.

A team of smart, driven, and genuinely kind people
A culture that values ownership, creativity, and pushing beyond “good enough”
Flexibility to manage your time while delivering extraordinary work
