About us

Sick of commuting? Tired of hybrid jobs that are really in office jobs in disguise? If youre more productive at home than in an office, and want to make that arrangement permanent, we may have the position youre after.

At CarriersEdge, were focused on producing great quality products and happy customers. We dont care about being the coolest company in town, having the most amazing office perks, or the hippest staff. If youre interested in those things, youll hate us.

On the other hand, if youre not looking for a social group and just want to do great work, then you may be exactly who were looking for. We dont care where you work, and we wont be looking over your shoulder micromanaging you. Youll have minimal meetings disrupting your week and plenty of time to focus on doing the best job possible. Were growing, but not so quickly that things are chaotic.

As part of our growth, we're looking for a Senior Accountant to join our team and provide support to our finance department.

This isnt a giant accounting firm where youll be crushed by mountains of client work and punishing deadlines. Its also not a jack-of-all-trades position where youll be expected to handle admin and office management tasks on the side. Our business is established and stable, but still small enough that we can move quickly. Now its time to take it to the next level.

If youd like to be a part of that, send us your rsum and lets talk!
