Accounting Intern

Overview
Grommet is the place for the not-so-commonplace. Since 2008, Grommet has been the place where you get more out of shopping small—from finding ingenious products you never knew about, to supporting small businesses that might be right in your neighborhood. These businesses aren’t very big (yet), but their ideas are. Grommet seeks out and curates these unique and useful products, giving every underdog their day, and bringing these products to consumers.

This is a great opportunity for a candidate looking to see the real world application of many of the core accounting principles you have learned in the classroom. You will be exposed to the accounts payable and receivable process, our cash cycle, and how the 3 financial statements (income statement, balance sheet, cash flow) come together to tell the story of the company's performance from a numbers perspective.

The Staff Accountant Co-op role is responsible for daily accounts payable and accounts receivable processing, weekly bill pay, and cash management activities. In addition to assisting with the day-to-day management of our working capital needs, the staff accountant will assist with various tasks and journal entry preparation and ledger reconciliation during the period-end accounting close cycle. This role will report to the Sr. Manager of Accounting.
