Job Description

Job Title: Staff Accountant
Location: Chicago, IL (North Side – Ravenswood/Bowmanville), Hybrid (3 days in office)
Employment Type: Full-Time
Reports To: Managing Director

About the Role

Voyage Advisory is a management consultancy that helps clients elevate service, drive performance, and power transformation. We're a growing firm with high standards and clearly defined values, which include: leave a mark in a good way, do the right thing even when it hurts, and elbow grease matters.

We’re looking for an A-player—someone eager to do the best work of their career as part of a team that values collaboration, curiosity, grit, and tenacity.

We are currently seeking a full-time Staff Accountant to support our internal operations. The right candidate is energized by precision, proactive about solving problems, and thrives in an environment where there’s always something to improve.

For the first 60 days, this position will be fully onsite. After that, it will transition to a hybrid schedule based in our Ravenswood/Bowmanville office (on the north side of Chicago), with in-office days on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays.
