## Description

- Drive cutoffs and analytics: coordinate with AP/AR/Payroll/Procurement/FP&A on accruals and budget-to-actuals; propose adjustments based on data.

- Uplift controls and audit readiness: Identify risks, control gaps, or inefficiencies and drive solutions with minimal direction.

- Improve processes and tools: standardize templates, automate reconciliations, streamline the close calendar.

Required qualifications:

- Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, or related field.

- CPA or CPA eligible.

- 4+ years of progressive accounting experience in public accounting (Big 4 or national firm) and/or a high-growth operating environment. Public company experience a plus.

- Proficiency with GLs/subledgers and reconciliation tools (e.g., FloQast) and strong Excel/Sheets skills.

- Solid working knowledge of US GAAP and internal controls.

- Clear communicator with an ownership mindset and the ability to collaborate to deadlines.

- Strong attention to detail and problem-solving mindset.
