Low Pay

Project accountant

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Group Benefits were effective day 1 Flex health spending account Morning stretch routine Month end lunches

Cons

This job itself is just tracking project costs, and making sure suppliers are paid, and payments from customers are received. Glorified AP/AR clerk. This is the right job for someone who doesn't mind routine tasks. This is the wrong job for someone aiming for career growth and skills to grow.
