About Grit Companies

Grit Companies is a fast-growing platform supporting both national D2D teams and pest control operations. Our D2D arm, Grit Marketing, operates one of the largest door-to-door sales forces in the world. Our pest control brand, Mira Home, serves thousands of homeowners across multiple markets. Underpinning both is a technology stack we've built and continue to invest in — from CRM and call center infrastructure to rep recruiting pipelines and customer communication tools.

Your New Role

The Staff Accountant owns payroll and day-to-day accounting for Grit Marketing, Mira Home, and Platform HQ. You make sure every rep and employee is paid accurately and on time, and you keep the books clean, closed in under a week, and coded so every dollar lands in the right department, account, location, and event.

Our finance and accounting team runs the payroll platform and core finance functions in a rapid growth environment. Reps and frontline employees are our core customers, and you'll work across HR, sales, and operations to support them. Your work feeds the monthly Budget vs. Actuals (BvA) reviews and location P&Ls leadership uses to run the business.
