Job Title: Junior Accountant

Reports to: Financial Analyst & CFO

Location: Long Island City, NY (11106) 

You know your way around numbers like a detective on a case. Whether it’s tracking down discrepencies, reconciling accounts, or keeping data organized across systems, you live for the thrill of finding and fixing inconsistencies. You take pride in making sure every figure is in the right place and every financial report tells a clear, accurate story. With impeccable attention to detail and expertise in QuickBooks Online, you’re ready to roll up your sleeves and dive into the day-today financial operations that fuel our mission.

If you want to make an impact at a fast-growing, mission-driven social enterprise, join us as our Bookkeeper. This is a hands-on role supporting our finance team, where you’ll record, reconcile, and report the numbers that drive key decisions. You’ll work closely with team leads across departments, ensuring data accuracy that reflects what’s really happening on the ground—and in the kitchen.

But first, prove to us that you’re a top candidate by answering the required screening questions. It’s the first thing we read in your application, so if you apply and don't answer them, you will be immediately rejected.

About Us: Kommissary is a social enterprise on a mission to spread joy through food. We produce and deliver high volumes of meals spanning a diverse array of cuisines to every demographic in New York City. As a proud minority-owned business, we celebrate diversity, equity, and inclusion in everything we do.

Success in the Role:

Onboarding Period

In your first few weeks, you’ll get to know the key players you’ll collaborate with—our financial analyst, COO, and personel in other departments as well. Since you’re already a QuickBooks Online expert, you’ll dive right into data entry and reconciliation work within your first week. During this period, your supervisor will review your work to ensure accuracy and consistency, setting the tone for your success. You’ll also complete your first full monthly cycle of reporting, gaining a clearer understanding of the bigger picture and identifying areas for improvement in the coming months.

3rd Month Goals

At the three-month mark, you’ll be fully comfortable working with our books, spreadsheets, and reporting cycles. You’ll have developed an efficient routine for conducting in-person investigations, tracking down discrepancies, and ensuring clean, consistent data. When you assist our financial analyst with building reports, you’ll ensure that every figure reflects reality—because your work is the foundation of accurate reporting and informed decision-making.

1st Year Goals

After your first year, you’ll be known as the master of all things data and accounting. You won’t just know the numbers—you’ll know the story behind them because you wrote it, tracking every transaction with precision. You’ll handle every financial puzzle as a forensic adventure, solving challenges with ease and taking pride in keeping the books accurate and organized. Every team member will trust that your work is reliable and reflective of what’s happening across the organization.

Future Growth

As your skills grow, you’ll have the opportunity to move into financial analysis and controller roles, managing data reporting and strategic planning. You’ll shift from recording data to analyzing it, supporting leadership with actionable insights and helping drive business decisions. Eventually, you’ll be ready to mentor and lead the next generation of bookkeepers and data managers.
