Accounting Specialist

CTI has been a leading Audio Visual provider for 38 years. Since we began in 1988, our mission has been simple: to provide a fantastic customer experience.

At CTI, our biggest asset is our people, and we know that sometimes the most awesome employees don’t fit the typical mold. If you are hardworking, friendly, and know the importance of fantastic customer service, you could be a good fit at CTI. We have developed a collaborative and lively working environment, where the best and the brightest Audio Visual experts show up to work each day ready to have fun, and employ their passion for and knowledge of technology into everything they do. This creative atmosphere helps us apply and share our skills with our clients, who seek quality, high-end AV and Conference Solutions.

So, where do you fit in?

We are looking for an Accounting Specialist in our St Louis office located in Maryland Heights, MO, whose attitude, skills, and work ethic will embody our mission “to provide a fantastic customer experience.” We are not looking for a ‘typical accountant’—our accounting team knows that our customers are our #1 priority, and we want somebody who can recognize that and build relationships with them, and our vendors. We are also looking for someone who will collaborate with our operations team to take care of our customers. If this sounds like you, we will provide the necessary training, support, and work environment to help you succeed. We take pride in our employees, who are known in the industry as customer-focused problem-solvers who can get the job done.
