LNF is looking for an Accountant/Sales Associate. Today, our day-to-day accounting is outsourced. We have reached the point where it makes sense to do this in-house.

LNF doesn’t do any active sales such as calling to customers to convince them to buy our products. They sell themselves. The sales associate part includes:
