Have you taken accounting courses but are having trouble getting an accounting job because you lack experience? This may be the perfect opportunity for you.

We are a small, mobile veterinary practice located in the West San Fernando Valley. We provide both traditional Western & Eastern medical treatment for dogs & cats in the comfort & security of their own homes. Our office is located in the Doctor's home. You can learn more about our practice at www.docsandy.com.

We are offering an entry-level position working directly with our accountant in all aspects of the accounting field. You will gain hands-on experience in Accounts Payable, Accounts Receivable, Payroll, General Ledger, bank reconciliation, responding to government requests for information and much more.

The successful candidate must have the following attributes:
1. Successful completion of 2 or more accounting courses with a grade of "B+" or better will substitute for experience; OR, at least 1 full year with a single employer in the same or similar position

Several staff members have allergies/sensitivity to cigarette smoke. Since smoke attaches to skin, hair and clothes, it can contaminate an area long after the cigarette has been extinguished. For this reason, all candidates must be NON-SMOKERS.

This is a part-time opportunity with immediate availability. Candidates must be able to work Monday, Wednesday and Friday. Hours can be negotiated from a start between 8 -- 10am and end between 2 -- 4pm, as long as total hours are between 15 -- 22 hours per week.

Due to the unique opportunity we are offering, we have an extensive interview process. If you think this might be for you, please submit your resume. The ability to consistently follow detailed instructions is a must. All responses must include the following:
1. No responses without a resume will be considered. Attachments must be compatible with Word or PDF, otherwise paste into the body of your email.
2. When responding, type "ACCT" in the subject box.
3. In the body of your email, give a brief explanation of how this opportunity will further your future goals. If you are substituting education for experience, here is where you will detail the courses (with grades) you have completed that you wish us to consider.
