  • Ensure compliance with internal controls, policies, and regulatory requirements
  • Provide backup support for various accounting and finance functions
  • Collaborate with the Controller to improve processes and maintain accurate financial records
What We're Looking For
  • Bachelor's degree in Accounting or equivalent professional experience
  • 3+ years of accounting experience, preferably at the Senior Accountant level
  • Experience with QuickBooks Online or a similar accounting system
  • Strong understanding of GAAP and general accounting principles
  • Intermediate to advanced Microsoft Excel skills
  • Proven experience with account reconciliations, journal entries, and month-end close
  • Ability to work independently while managing competing priorities
  • Excellent attention to detail and organizational skills
