About Aurora Medical Spa

Aurora Medical Spa was founded in 2006 and is approaching 20 years of providing advanced aesthetic skincare and body contouring services. Today, Aurora is a fast-growing, multi-location company focused on building smarter systems, improving operational efficiency, and scaling responsibly.

We are not a highly corporate or heavily layered organization. Priorities move quickly, information comes from multiple channels, and strong execution matters. The people who succeed here are adaptable, organized, resourceful, and comfortable figuring things out in real time.

We are actively investing in technology, automation, AI tools, and better reporting systems to improve how we operate across all departments, including accounting and finance.

The Role

We are looking for an Accounting Specialist who is highly detail-oriented, organized, dependable under pressure, and genuinely motivated to improve processes through technology and automation.

This role supports core accounting operations with a strong emphasis on payroll coordination, deadline management, reconciliations, and high-volume administrative accounting work. Success in this role requires someone who can manage recurring responsibilities accurately while staying calm and flexible when last-minute changes happen.

This is not a passive maintenance role. We are looking for someone who takes ownership, keeps things organized, communicates clearly, and actively looks for ways to make systems and workflows better over time.

This is a part time, in-person office role based in Des Peres, Missouri.

Before You Apply

This role is best suited for someone who enjoys keeping things organized, takes pride in accuracy, communicates thoughtfully, and stays steady under pressure.

Some parts of this role are repetitive and detail-heavy. Some days involve shifting priorities and last-minute changes. The right person understands both are part of supporting a fast-moving business and approaches the work with professionalism, adaptability, and a problem-solving mindset.

If you enjoy creating order, improving systems, and being someone a team can consistently rely on, we would love to hear from you.
