Staff Accountant - ExplorUS

ExplorUS is a family-owned company with nearly 30 years of experience operating National, State, and local park concessions. Over the years we have worked to enhance, elevate, and complement the visitor’s experience at each park, landmark, and property we operate. We’re seeking a Staff Accountant that will be responsible for overseeing day-to-day accounting operations and the month-end close processes for several National and State Parks. This newly created role will be an important aspect of our fast-growing organization with lots of growth potential. Reporting to the Controller, this role will be based out of our Overland Park, KS corporate office.

At ExplorUS, we focus on finding small to medium-sized park operations where we can make a large difference. We take great pride in acquiring underperforming park concessions, turning them around, and bringing them up to and beyond the expectations of our park partners and park visitors.

Our success in this industry is tied to the simple belief that we do not consider park concessions to be just another business. We are stewards of the natural, historic, and cultural resources of the parks in which we work and are committed to providing a level of hospitality that honors those resources.
