Part Time Accountant

Accounting Assistant Part Time (On-Site)

If you’re the kind of person who gets unreasonably satisfied by a spreadsheet that finally balances, or you feel a small rush of joy when a reconciliation hits zero difference, you might actually enjoy this job.

We’re a growing multi-entity retail group in Cheektowaga looking for an Accounting Manager who’s good with numbers, good with people, and not afraid of the ever-changing world of technology (seriously, if you hate new systems, this is not the hill you want to die on).

You’ll be helping us manage the financials for 5 companies and 24 stores—with more on the way. But don’t worry, you won’t be stuck in a corporate tower. This is a small, casual back office where people know each other’s snack preferences- and well-behaved furry friends are welcome.

Part Time

Schedule:

Monday–Friday Flexible Scheduling Between 8:30am
-5:00pm up to 32 hours per week.

Location:

Walden Ave, Cheektowaga, NY

Hourly: $23-$25 (DOE & schedule)

• Prepare and post journal entries so the financials don’t turn into a crime scene
• Perform high-volume bank and credit card reconciliations (the glamorous life)
• Create and refine spreadsheets, trackers, and variance procedures
• Maintain daily/monthly financial records for month-end close
• Manage intercompany balances across all entities (fun for people who love puzzles)
• Review and organize rental leases and perform CAM reconciliations (experience preferred)
• Handle compliance tasks like sales tax filings and audit prep (auditors love a good mystery—try not to give them one)
• Assist the Director with store-level issue resolution
• Maintain expense reports, internal filing systems, and reporting
• Monitor bank balances and define transfers as needed
• Provide day-to-day and project-based support to the accounting team
• Adapt as the organization grows (which it is, rapidly)
• Lead cross-functional initiatives to resolve complex challenges, optimize financial systems, and drive continuous improvement through strategic analysis and collaborative execution

(Translation: what helps you survive here.)

• Associate’s Degree or higher
• Advanced Excel skills: pivot tables, formulas, data modeling, wizardry
• Strong organizational and analytical abilities
• Experience in rental lease management and CAM reconciliations
• Assertive, growth mindset (aka: you speak up when something makes no sense)
• A proactive, detail-oriented approach with a collaborative spirit

This is a solid job with a good team, stable hours, and work that actually matters. Some days will be busy, some will be quiet, and plenty will be filled with spreadsheets, caffeine, and the occasional “why is this off by $42.17?” moment.

We know job searching can feel like its own full-time role, so we’ll keep this simple: this is a solid opportunity to bring your accounting expertise to a growing organization, in a comfortable environment, where your work is seen, appreciated, and genuinely useful. You’ll have supportive colleagues, steady routines, and plenty of chances to improve processes without getting buried in corporate layers.

Apply when you're ready. We’ll be here, probably reconciling something.
