Ready to step beyond traditional accounting?

  • Drive process improvements, automation initiatives, and system implementations
  • Improve billing accuracy, collections performance, and working capital
  • Partner with operations leaders to analyze results and improve profitability
  • Play a key role in a major billing system transformation and reporting modernization

What We're Looking For

  • Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, or related field
  • 5+ years of progressive accounting or finance leadership experience
  • Strong background in month-end close, financial analysis, and operational accounting
  • Experience leading accounting, billing, AR, or AP teams
  • Advanced Excel skills; Power BI and automation experience are a plus
  • CPA or MBA preferred

Employment Type: Full Time
