DreamHost is hiring!

August 10, 2005 on 8:44 am | In Jobs by Brett |

It doesn’t happen often, but we’re ready to hire yet another employee!

If you’re located in or around the Brea (California) area and have some accounting experience, we’d like to hear from you!

We are looking to hire a full-time bookkeeper who will handle the day-to-day financial goings-on of our 25 employee-and-growing company! Mainly you’ll be paying the bills and keeping our financial records in order. You’ll also be responsible for administering our health insurance and 401(k) plans, payroll, ordering office supplies, getting the mail, that sort of thing. You’ll report directly to our CEO.

Ideally you’ll have some accounting experience (5+ years preferred,) preferably with a degree in a related field. Experience with QuickBooks will make your resume stand out like a glistening Excalibur in the mists of Cornwall.

You should be analytical, detail-oriented and very comfortable with spreadsheets.

We don’t throw every resume we get into a massive keyword-searchable database - we actually read them. Please don’t waste our time if you don’t want what we’re offering! If you think you might be a good fit, you’d be a fool not to contact us!

This is a five-day-a week (M-F) salaried position.

Benefits include:
.Full health/vision/dental
.401(k) plan
.Generous vacation time (up to 5 weeks after 3 years!)
.Laid-back atmosphere
.Free snacks and soft drinks
.Free web hosting!
.And more!

Plaintext resumes are preferred, .rtf will work too. Send ‘em all to jobs@dreamhost.com!

    I live 2,700-odd miles away in Pennsylvania, I have no accounting experience whatsoever, and I don’t know what QuickBooks is (although I’m a fast reader, if that’s what you mean). My wife said I might struggle with the spreadsheets thingy, because I’ve never been able to make a bed as good as she.

    I have been to Cornwall several times, including during the 1999 Total Solar Eclipse; however, it was too cloudy to actually see anything. I didn’t see Excalibur either.

    I have great people skills - I can put on a really happy face when I say, “do you if want fries with that?” Obviously I’m totally qualified job, so please give me the job so I can get the bank off my bank. They took issue with my outgoings being greater than my incoming, for some reason. What’s up with that?

    You really need to get a “preview comment” option going on this blog. My previous comment makes me look like a half-witted moron “wot didn’t get no proper ed-yoo-ma-cashun”.

    Hey Simon, you get 5 years vacation by law and you must also pay 30% to 50% of your income in taxes. Your lucky Sweden doesnt have any oil!!

    Hey, er… George. I’m not getting any income at the moment, since I’m not a working man. Actually, that isn’t true - I got my first referral check from DreamHost this week, so I’m flush for a few days.

    Sweden could always appropriate its own oil supply by invading liberating a middle-eastern country. It’s a great way for your military to get rid of some of its ageing ordnance so that they can buy new stuff, too!

    Ha! I thought Brea (California) was some crazy mixed up acronym for Bay Area, CA…..that is until I mapped it. I am so not even qualified to own my own company…..let alone screw someone else’s up!

    Cheers!

    ..free webhosting

    I need to start looking for a job at a webhosting company! :D

    Brea is only 364 miles from where I live.. I’ve watched my brother-in-law work with Quickbooks, and I’m fairly comfortable with spreadsheets as long as they don’t bite. Emailing my resume now!

    Can you hire me to pose like that kid on your homepage doing jumping jacks? That’s just what you need to boost sales, some scrawny pale guy in his late 20s with gray hair and a dazed look from staring at monitors all day. Sales will go through the roof!

    I know that red is bad and black is good. I was raised by an accountant. Apart from that, I’ve never balanced my checkbook and I’m not even sure where it is.

    You know you want to hire me.

    I’ve done it all, from here to city hall. Over twenty five years of experience in finance, accounting and marketing. In the past 15 years, I have worked as VP Business & Strategic Planning - Sony Music Entertainment NY, VP Marketing - Sony Nashville, VP Business Development for Sony Music Custom Marketing, Sony Classical, Legacy Recordings and Sony Direct. In addition, I have restored 2 muscle cars, developed web sites, marketing plans for Sony Nashville artists ( such as Dixie Chicks). I have set up and administered 401K plans, employee benefit programs. Crap, I’ve done it all. Experience, are you kidding. Your CEO would be frightened.
