Accountant

Two Opportunities Available | Early-Career Candidates Encouraged to Apply | Hybrid Role Onsite 3 days per week in New Hampshire 

Are you ready to build a strong foundation in accounting while learning from an experienced and supportive team? 

Merchants Fleet is hiring two Staff Accountants to join our Accounting organization. These are separate openings supporting different areas of the business and reporting to different accounting leaders, but both offer the same opportunity to develop practical accounting expertise, contribute meaningful work, and grow your career. 

You do not need to know everything on day one. We are looking for someone who brings curiosity, accountability, attention to detail, and a genuine interest in learning. We will provide training, clear expectations, and ongoing support to help you build confidence and succeed. 

What You’ll Do 

As a Staff Accountant, you will help ensure the accuracy and integrity of our financial information while developing experience across core accounting activities. You will: 

• Review and document transactions throughout the accounting cycle 
• Help ensure the accuracy of system postings and financial data 
• Assist with month-end close, account analysis, reconciliations, and financial reporting 
• Reconcile multiple balance sheet accounts and investigate discrepancies 
• Prepare schedules and supporting documentation for the annual financial audit 
• Provide accurate, timely reporting to internal business partners 
• Identify opportunities to strengthen processes, controls, and ways of working 
• Collaborate with colleagues across Accounting and other areas of the company 

What Will Help You Succeed 

This role is well suited for someone who enjoys detailed work, values accuracy, and takes satisfaction in completing assignments thoroughly and on time. The job target emphasizes clearly defined responsibilities, careful execution, strong follow-through, collaboration, and a commitment to quality and established procedures. It also identifies the importance of training and support as employees develop expertise and confidence.  

You are likely to thrive here if you: 

• Take ownership of your work and follow through on commitments 
• Pay close attention to details while keeping deadlines in focus 
• Ask thoughtful questions and seek to understand the “why” behind the work 
• Communicate openly about questions, risks, progress, or mistakes 
• Approach procedures and controls with care and consistency 
• Remain flexible when priorities, information, or business needs change 
• Work collaboratively and contribute to the success of the broader team
