What You’ll Bring:

  • Bachelor’s degree in Accounting, Finance, or related field.
  • CPA required (CMA/CFA a plus).
  • 7–10 years of accounting/finance experience, including a couple of years in leadership.
  • Experience in manufacturing or production accounting environments.
  • Advanced proficiency in Excel and ERP systems (Odoo, NetSuite, SAP, Oracle).
  • Strong understanding of U.S. GAAP, audits, and financial compliance.

Bonus Points For:

  • Experience with Odoo 17 ERP or modern FP&A system implementation.
  • Multi‑entity consolidation and cost accounting experience.
  • A proven track record of automating manual accounting processes.
  • U.S. Person status required (citizen, permanent resident, or asylee) per ITAR/EAR regulations.

Additional Details:

  • Location: Bay Area, CA (Hybrid)
  • Base Salary: $134,868 – $167,089 + bonus & benefits
  • Seniority level: Mid-Senior level
