I work for a Fortune 500 company (K. Hovnanian Homes) and we are losing one of our staff accountants, so we will be beginning the hiring process in the next week or so, but I thought I would throw the opportunity out to my friends at TPF before the position hits our recruiters and they are flooded with resumes.
Requirements: 4-year degree in Accounting, job history that will show progressive advancement in a business accounting role (at least 3 years experience), ability to multi-task and willingness/ability to learn new skills (as we constantly try to challenge our Accounting staff to take on new projects). I am sure our recruiters will have a much more "flowery" job description, but that about sums it up.
As for compensation . . . ??? . . . the hire is not in my area of responsibility, so I can't say for sure, but it is competitive with other staff accountant positions in Dallas (we have never lost anyone in our Accounting Department b/c of compensation).
We have great benefits and a gorgeous office in Plano (Tollway/Plano Parkway), so if you (or someone you know) wants to get their resume seen prior to the position being listed online, send me a resume, with salary requirements (and a cover letter if you like) to:
ssummers@khov.com (Shane Summers) and I will forward it to the CFO.
I will tell you upfront - all I can do is get your resume seen by the right person . . . after that, it is all up to you! Good Luck!
