Staff Accountant

Position Overview

Sugared + Bronzed is a fast-growing beauty brand with more than 50 sugaring and spray tanning salons across multiple states. Our accounting team is small and hands-on, and keeps the books for every one of them.

We are looking for someone detail-oriented, deadline-driven and comfortable in a fast-paced, entrepreneurial environment, ideally with experience in retail or a multi-location service business.
