What You Need:

Minimum requirements include:

·         Bachelor’s degree by start of employment

·         6 semester hours (or equivalent quarter hours) of relevant upper division accounting coursework, including intermediate accounting courses. Other combinations of education may be considered.

What Makes You Stand Out:

The most successful candidates have:

·         Strong analytical and critical thinking skills

·         Sound written and verbal communication skills

·         Ability to work well independently and as part of a team

·         Good interpersonal skills

·         CPA license or intent to sit for the CPA exam preferred, but not required

Where You’ll Work:

Our office is located in Helena, the capital of Montana and the center of state government.  Helena is a charming historic town with a thriving arts community and all the great things Montana has to offer.  You will have easy access to trails for hiking and mountain biking, rivers and lakes for fishing and navigating, and country clubs for golfing and cross-country skiing.  Venture out a bit more and you’ll find state parks, public lands, downhill ski resorts, majestic national parks, and plenty of opportunities for activities year-round.  A great place to raise a family, Helena has an excellent school system as well as parks, playgrounds, an interactive science center, public waterpark, and more.

While your desk will be located in the vicinity of the beautiful State Capitol campus, you will perform a lot of your work in agency buildings located around Helena.  You will also occasionally travel for agencies outside of Helena, such as the universities.

This position is eligible for telework up to half-time.

How To Join Our Team:

You will apply for this position on the State of Montana careers webpage, StateCareers.mt.gov.  Your resume and unofficial college transcripts are required. Your resume will be uploaded with your application, but our HR manager will contact you for your transcripts after submission.  If you have additional information you would like us to know, please include it in a cover letter and upload it as well.  If you are selected for this position, we will ask you to provide at least 3 references we can contact. 

 The Fine Print:

·         Although you’ll have the ability to work from home some days, this is not a remote position, and employees are required to live near Helena for in-person work. 

·         If invited to join our team, we are required to run a criminal records background check on you. 

·         You will also have to provide us with your official college transcripts upon starting. 

·         Additionally, we think you should know LAD employees and members of their household are not permitted to participate in any lottery game affiliated with the Montana State Lottery.  Just a heads up!

·         The Legislative Branch participates in E-Verify to confirm employment eligibility.  After accepting a job offer and completing Form I-9, your information will be submitted to the Department of Homeland Security and Social Security Administration for verification.   For more information about E-Verify, please visit the E-Verify website found here, Link to E-Verify Website [e-verify.gov].
