Staff Accountant

Full-Time Position

New York, NY

$75,000-$85,000

About us

We’re Brave – we were founded by a bunch of people who thought that, rather than sitting in network agency jobs complaining about how terrible things were, they'd go out and do it better. So far, it is better. We’ve built an agency that has confidence in its people, courage in its convictions, and a determination to fight for work that will make a difference.

We’re Blended – we’ve mixed some of the very best people in healthcare with people who have done their most stellar work in consumer. We have discipline and imagination in equal measure. We have PhDs and high school dropouts, media-first digital natives and old school idea-first strategists. We're a giant bag of cultures, beliefs, and backgrounds that make a beautiful sound when they play together.

We’re Bright – the work might look effortless, but the thinking that shaped it is really smart. We’re constantly on the lookout for the real problem, the real opportunity, the thing that, if solved, will change things. We work hard to get intimate with the areas we are playing in because there’s no meaningful insight without intimacy.

What we’re looking for in you

  • Be You – bring yourself to work and to the work that you do.
  • Be Ambitious – bring a desire to excel and to win, a desire to push yourself and your teammates to create the very best work, and fight for the work you believe in.
  • Be Curious – dig deep and outright care more. Don't ask if it's good enough, ask if it's great enough.
  • Be Invested – in your clients’ success, sweat the small things and behave as partners, not providers.
  • Be Collaborative – we’re a group of people all on the same path, looking to do things better (and do better things), together.

If all of that sounds like the sort of company you’d like to keep, then carry on reading.
