Staff Accountant, Bethesda

Staff Accountant
I am with an accounting search firm and I am working with a company in the area looking to fill a Staff Accountant position.
This role reports directly to the CFO and there is a great deal of exposure to all things accounting.
They are well established and stable.
In addition, they offer extremely generous benefits (100% health care for employee and 4 weeks PTO to start!).

Why This Opportunity Stands Out:
Wonderful company to work for
They pay for 100% of the employees' health, dental and vision insurance!
There is no out-of-pocket cost for the employee.
As the Staff Accountant there is room to learn a lot, advance your career and learn accounting from A-Z.
Extremely generous PTO: 4 weeks vacation and 1 week of sick leave!
Discretionary bonus can be up to 10%
Stable company
