Above all, you hold yourself to a higher standard. In your work, your judgment, and how you treat people. What Onboarding Looks Like In your first 30 days, you will learn the accounting systems, chart of accounts, and close processes while building relationships with your accounting team counterparts. By day 60, you will be managing your core responsibilities independently, including reconciliations and journal entries, with minimal oversight. By day 90, you are a reliable, fully productive member of the accounting team, contributing to close cycles on time and bringing a continuous improvement mindset to everything you touch. The 5 Big Things — What Success Looks Like Your work is accurate: Success means journal entries, reconciliations, and financial records are consistently correct the first time, with a low rate of errors that require correction or rework. The close never slips because of you: Success means your close deliverables are completed on time every month, and the accounting team can count on you to meet deadlines without being chased. You understand the numbers behind the work: Success means you are not just processing transactions but developing a genuine understanding of the business and bringing questions and insights when something looks off. Compliance is maintained: Success means all accounting activity under your ownership follows GAAP and company policies, with proper documentation that holds up in audits and reviews. You grow fast: Success is a Staff Accountant who is taking on more complex work at the end of the year than at the start, building toward a senior-level trajectory through the quality and consistency of their output.
