Bookkeeper - Remote Optional

Macro Connect is a growing team currently working out of a historic police station in the Eastern Market neighborhood of Detroit, but will be moving in the near future to a historic library located near Mack and Gratiot. We are focused on helping schools, nonprofits and businesses achieve breakthrough performance by leveraging data and technology.

Macro Connect is one of multiple businesses our finance team supports, and this position will hold responsibilities with Macro Connect as well as our sister companies: Hunt Street Station and MarkSetBot. Hunt Street Station is a co-working and event space located in Eastern Market. MarkSetBot is a small, but quickly growing manufacturing company with sales world-wide.

We are currently looking for a full-time Bookkeeper that fits with our company values and can provide extraordinary service to our family of companies. This position can be performed remotely if desired.

We value diversity - in thought and in personal and professional background - and are committed first and foremost to finding the right people and then providing them with coffee, an office full of dogs, and a training pathway to reach their potential.

When we asked our team what 3 words sum up the company culture, the most repeated answers were: transparent, community-minded, and supportive. We utilize open-book management to share our financial information with all of our employees. We like and care about our co-workers and will drop everything to help someone in need. We care deeply about Metro Detroit and believe we can play a part in the bright future ahead. If we are working against a deadline, we do whatever it takes to meet it. If we face a difficult challenge, we work together to overcome it. If we make a promise, we see it through.

Our clients have high expectations and we expect our employees to take that in stride, keep a smile on their face, and produce great results. Details matter to us and we pride ourselves on getting things right the first time. We love turning technical jargon and complex data into practical solutions that improve outcomes for our clients.
