  • Prepare workpapers and schedules supporting annual tax filings, external reviews, and lender/investor reporting.
  • Document and improve accounting processes — identify manual, repetitive work and partner with the CFO to automate it within the ERP and reporting stack.
Qualifications
  • Bachelor’s degree in Accounting or Finance.
  • 2–4 years of progressive accounting experience, including ownership of month-end close tasks.
  • Strong working knowledge of U.S. GAAP and core accounting cycles (AP, AR, GL, reconciliations).

  • High attention to detail, strong organizational skills, and the ability to manage multiple entities and deadlines with minimal supervision.
