• Help improve and modernize accounting processes

• 3+ years accounting experience (public accounting audit strongly preferred)
• Strong GAAP foundation
• Strong analytical, problem‑solving and organizational skills
• Ability to work independently in a fast‑paced close environment
• Advanced Excel (pivots, lookups, reconciliations)
• Experience with ERP systems (Oracle, Net Suite, SAP, etc.)
• CPA or CPA‑eligible strongly preferred

• Move from testing to true ownership
• Sustainable hours outside of close
• Clear path for growth into Senior / Lead Accountant
