This role sits at the intersection of technical accounting and operational execution, offering significant exposure to complex transactions in an environment where accuracy, ownership, and efficiency are equally valued.

• Collaborate with FP&A, Legal, and Operations teams on new lease assessments, modifications, and contract amendments
• Prepare documentation and schedules to support external audit requests related to the lease portfolio
• Contribute to process improvement initiatives that increase efficiency and scalability of lease accounting operations

Who You Are:

 

• 3–5+ years of accounting experience, with a preference for experience in lease accounting, technical accounting, or real estate/infrastructure industries
• Working knowledge of ASC 842 and its application to operational lease transactions
• Bachelor's degree in Accounting or Finance; CPA or actively pursuing CPA preferred
• Strong Excel skills and experience working within ERP systems
• Detail-oriented with strong organizational skills and the ability to manage multiple priorities during month-end close
• Collaborative communicator who works effectively across Legal, FP&A, and Operations to support timely resolution of accounting questions

Preferred:
