Senior Accountant – Cannabis Division

About You

Are you looking for something different at work? Have you ever wondered, “What is all the hype about working in the Cannabis industry?” Do you live-and-breathe numbers so much so that some of your best ideas are dreamed up in the shower?  Are you looking for a place where you can learn the ins-and-outs of business operations and not just feel like another cog in the wheel? Have you considered what it would be like to use your accounting skills to be more than just an “Accountant”?

About the Job

Ghost Crew, Inc. is a small female led Accounting and Business Consulting firm, which specializes in providing full back end operational support to the clients of our sister companies, FTC Group and Summit Accounting Partners. 

As our business continues to expand, we are seeking someone who is self-motivated, disciplined, and has a strong work ethic to complement our team. While we are based in NC, this is a full-time, 100% remote position.  In this key role, you will help to ensure financial compliance for our cannabis clients by leading a smooth month end process. You’ll work with clients as well as other team members to support the on-time delivery of data for the accurate completion of financial reporting.

What it is like to work at FTC Group

Working with us won’t be your boring run-of-the-mill corporate job; the last thing you will hear is “but that’s the way we’ve always done it.” If you’ve got an idea for improvement, we want to hear it!  This also means that things can change fast. We implement good ideas quickly, so we need all our team members to be flexible and quick learners to keep up!  We live by our Immutable Laws, which are:

• Integrity First - Conduct all business with unwavering integrity, adhering to the highest ethical standards in every interaction and decision. 
• Honesty Above All - Be transparent and truthful in all communications and dealings, fostering trust and credibility with stakeholders. 
• Resourcefulness in Action -Embrace challenges as opportunities to innovate and problem-solve creatively, utilizing resources efficiently and effectively. 
• Loyalty in Every Endeavor - Remain steadfastly committed to the company's mission, values, and goals, demonstrating unwavering loyalty in all actions. 
• Dedication to Excellence - Strive for excellence in every task and endeavor, demonstrating a relentless dedication to achieving the highest standards of quality and performance. 
• Dependability in Delivery - Consistently deliver on promises and commitments, demonstrating reliability and dependability in every aspect of work. 
• Independence in Judgement - Make decisions free from undue influence, maintaining professional autonomy while ensuring alignment with the company's mission and values. Embrace responsibility for independent thought, taking ownership of decisions with clarity and confidence.

The Up-Sides

• Our team works hard, but still enjoys a good work/life balance, as we do offer paid time off for our full-time employees. If you are tired of constant overtime, this job will be a breath of fresh air!
• Lots of opportunities for advancement as we grow!
• We have been told that we are organized; while we do not always feel like we are organized, we are always striving for improvement in this area to better serve our customers and have a better working environment for our team.
• We are not just a service provider. We want each client to feel like we are their partners in business.

The Downsides

• While we offer competitive wages, we focus on providing a fulfilling work-life balance and a supportive team environment. If you value job satisfaction and work-life balance over the highest salary, you will find a great fit with us.
• Because we are a small business, we can implement changes quickly. Our team is not a good fit for someone who may not handle changes with ease.
• Because of our commitment to the “exact right solution” for every client, our processes can get complicated, and a lot of what we do is not straightforward. We consider this an exciting challenge to overcome – but if you only want simple straightforward work – this is not the job for you.
• Because we are a small team, many of us fill multiple roles and pitch-in with other roles as we are able.
• As we are a 100% remote company, if you need to catch up on the weekend’s activities and thrive on water cooler talk, we are not for you.
