clean close, strong controls, sharp reporting, confident cash visibility, and finance workflows that scale as we grow. This role is based in Orleans, MA with hybrid flexibility—candidates must be local to Cape Cod or the South Shore.

You’ll work closely with our CFO (Colin), COO (Vanessa), and CEO (Luke), internal accounting team, and outsourced finance partners. You’ll bridge the gap between day‑to‑day accounting execution and executive‑level financial clarity.

• Build scalable workflows across systems:

• Coordinate tax filings, forms, and payments with external partners
• Maintain documentation and schedules so compliance is routine—not a last‑minute ritual sacrifice

• Optimize our accounting tech stack and SOPs (standard operating procedures)
• Create clarity across departments on…
